Summary:
This book examines the fierce debate on the styles and forms of garden design that took place in England c. 1870–1914. Focusing on the wild garden, the cottage garden, the formal garden and the synthesis of the formal and natural styles, Anne Helmreich argues that design principles and debates between designers including William Robinson, Reginald Blomfield, Gertrude Jekyll, and Edwin Lutyens, were indelibly shaped by the quest for a powerful English national identity. She demonstrates how ‘Englishness’ was purportedly expressed through the leading styles of garden design and why the garden was promoted as a symbol of national identity. A wide range of cultural practices and institutions, from garden treatises, popular journals, historic preservation organizations, art exhibitions, and two world’s fairs, are investigated to reveal how the garden, as a physical artifact and as an idea, circulated widely to produce a unifying national image.

Summary:
New ideas and concepts for urban architecture and landscape architecture from the Netherlands: this survey takes stock of the current situation. In any discussion on contemporary landscape architecture, visionary urban development or revolutionary building, it is impossible to overlook the Netherlands. The experts look to this small, flat country which constantly seeks to exceed its narrow boundaries by creating new space. The Netherlands is crowded and so it is hardly surprising that architects endeavour to "stack" landscapes and functions as the Dutch pavilion in the Expo 2000, designed by MVRDV demonstrated. Here, new ideas and concepts in architecture and landscape design fall on the fertile ground. Rem Koolhaas had prepared the way: nothing must stay as it is, even the open countryside and the towns can be changed, moulded, shaped. The Dutch are experts at building in the sea, on polders, on man-made islands, and on former harbour areas as in Rotterdam Kop van Zuid. Architecture and landscape architecture are not only a matter of public interest but they are ongoing processes in the Netherlands, and this is reflected in many of the projects in this book which include the gardens and squares of West 8, the Museumsplein in Amsterdam, the town planning in Zutphen or Apeldoorn. The examples have all been published in different contexts in Topos, but this is the first time that they have been collated to provide an illuminating overview of contemporary Dutch landscape architecture.

Summary:
Le jardin alpin — auquel la figure d’Henry Correvon est immanquablement associée — est un objet aussi bien scientifique que culturel. Interdisciplinaire, il mobilise des connaissances botaniques, pédologiques, horticoles et paysagères. Commercial, il repose sur l’extraction, la circulation, l’acclimatation et la culture de plantes de toutes origines. Esthétique, il véhicule à travers la miniaturisation du paysage la représentation d’une nature sauvage, encore vierge des dommages de la civilisation, et qu’il faut, dès lors, protéger. Henry Correvon a touché à tous les aspects de ce phénomène culturel particulier : il a systématisé les méthodes de ses prédécesseurs, il a développé un florissant marché international de plantes alpines, il a collaboré à l’établissement d’un très grand nombre de jardins alpins, sans oublier son formidable apport de théoricien et de pédagogue. Retracer son trajet professionnel et intellectuel permet de parcourir les étapes saillantes de l’évolution du jardin alpin et, dans le même temps, de se pencher sur le rapport ambivalent que la modernité occidentale entretient avec la nature.
