Summary:
In the 21st century the architects and designers of urban spaces face great challenges to integrate nature in order to transform 'cement forests' into 'forest cities'. Perhaps the best solution is to go green with vertical landscapes. More than just a decorative trend, this is a means of bringing life and greenery into metropolitan areas by using different framing systems to create compositions of plant life and adapt them to diverse settings, including offices, factories, parking lots, hotels, and installations within larger parks. Enriched by the reflections of the inventive protagonists of this fertile new aesthetic, Going Green with Vertical Landscapes is organised by theme and canvases early experiments conducted by famous design companies such as Vo Trong Nghia Architects (VTN), Fytogreen Australia and RYUICHI ASHIZAWA ARCHITECTS & associates. All of these projects combine man-made materials, recent technologies, and diverse types of vegetation to conquer the vertical dimension.

Summary:
In the Fall of 2004, The Museum of Modern Art completed a major expansion and renovation of its famous midtown Manhattan building, doubling the Museum's size and introducing dynamic new galleries and public spaces. At the core of the remodeled Museum, designed by architect Yoshio Taniguchi, is the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden, newly restored to its 1953 dimensions. Described by Taniguchi as "perhaps the most distinctive single element of the Museum today," the Sculpture Garden, an oasis of water, trees and masterpieces of modern sculpture, has long been the Museum's signature space--as well as its social heart. This fully illustrated, affordable, pocket-sized book is designed to convey the beauty and elegance of the garden. It also features a photographic chronology of the many performances, exhibitions and events held in the garden over the years, as well as an introduction and a brief historical narrative.

Ce livre, l'un des quatre premiers d'une série dédiée aux plus grands jardins du monde guide les amoureux des jardins à travers Apremont, un parc de création relativement récente, situé au cœur de la France. C'est un décor de conte de fées dans lequel un château et ses tours dominent le village médiéval fleuri qui s'étend sur les rives de l'Allier. Village et parc du château sont devenus inséparables grâce à l'œuvre de Gilles de Brissac, jardinier-paysagiste, qui les a réunis par des jardins à thème, des mixed-borders, des arbustes et des arbres à fleurs, des cascades, une succession de lacs et une série de folies architecturales. Son texte retrace l'histoire du lieu et en est la célébration. Les photographies de Claire de Virieu viennent en compléter l'intime connaissance.

Summary:
Les cités-jardins, inspirées du modèle anglais, voient le jour en France au début du XXe siècle. Implantées loin des nuisances des agglomérations industrielles et pour la population ouvrière, ces villes nouvelles avant l'heure ont la particularité d'associer habitat individuel et collectif, équipements (sociaux, culturels, scolaires...) et végétation (jardins privatifs, potagers, aménagement paysager des espaces publics). De Pantin à Stains en passant par Le Pré-Saint-Gervais ou Les Lilas, une vingtaine de ces ensembles, essentiellement situés dans la banlieue nord-est de Paris, sont présentés dans ce livre. Les cités-jardins ont donné lieu à des recherches sur les modes de construction les plus avancés - préfabrication, béton armé - en vue de bâtir vite et moins cher. Elles ont été parfois de véritables laboratoires urbains et architecturaux où s'est aussi élaborée une réflexion, progressiste pour l'époque, sur le logement social. Arborant des styles variés, du pittoresque au moderne, jouant sur des matériaux très différents, de la brique au béton, elles révèlent des qualités architecturales souvent remarquables. Aujourd'hui, alors que la croissance des zones périurbaines suscite des interrogations, la cité-jardin réapparaît dans la production contemporaine; par la mixité qu'elle induit et par l'intégration qu'elle permet des préoccupations liées au développement durable, elle devrait en effet constituer une source d'inspiration pour la conception de nouveaux quartiers d'habitat dense.

This is a selection of two hundred of the best articles and other writings by Gertrude Jekyll, who 'changed the face of England more than any save the Creator himself and, perhaps, Capability Brown'. Although Miss Jekyll designed around four hundred gardens, none remains as she intended and few exist today in any recognizable form. Her enduring influence has been achieved not through her spade but through her pen. She published fifteen books and contributed well over a thousand articles, notes and letters to numerous magazines and newspapers. But although the books are well known, until now, all but a handful of her other writings have been accessible only to scholars - a situation that this selection redresses. This book covers themes that include garden planning, wild and woodland gardening, climbing plants, water gardening and garden ornament, and includes selected articles. This is a gem of garden writing that all who are interested in Jekyll, planting and design will be delighted to discover.
