Summary:
Envisioned as a new urban model for sculpture parks, the Seattle Art Museum’s Olympic Sculpture Park is located on the city’s last undeveloped waterfront property—a nine-acre industrial site sliced by train tracks and an arterial road. New York–based architecture, landscape, and urban design firm Weiss/Manfredi has created a continuous constructed landscape for art that rises over the existing infrastructure to reconnect Seattle’s urban core to the revitalized waterfront. The park not only brings art outside the museum walls but also brings the park itself into the landscape of the city. This study offers an opportunity to take a fresh look at the city and explore some hypotheses about the wider meaning of an urban design project.

Summary:
In 1969, House and Garden magazine commissioned one of the first minimalist artists, Patricia Johanson, to propose new directions for American garden art. Having never been exhibited or published before as a whole, the resulting garden proposals reveal an unknown dimension of the New York art world of the late 1960s. Three years of research have brought 146 surviving drawings to light. They demonstrate the intimate progress of the artist’s engagement with nature in her quest for an art concerned with ethical relationships between humans and the natural world. Shuttling between the West and the East, and the contemporary and the historical, Johanson takes equal distances from earthworks created by her peer artists such as Robert Smithson, and the environmentalism advocated by landscape architects following Ian McHarg. Her vision of a new modernity is still significant today. The book is divided into 2 volumes, and includes a preface by Stephen Bann and a catalogue of 146 original garden proposals.

Des jardins disparus, d’autres qui ne cessent de s’inventer, ou encore des expérimentations à grande échelle. D’escale en escale, le lecteur est amené à découvrir la démarche de l’atelier par des chemins de traverse évoquant tour à tour le dessin, les hivers, les débordements, les savoir-faire. L’ouvrage se propose de témoigner d’une manière d’être paysagiste. En donnant toute sa place aux processus mis en oeuvre dans chacun des projets, en faisant la part belle à l’audace des plantes, « Escales » atteste également de cette belle aventure humaine qu’est la création d’un jardin.

La production de l’atelier, territoriale, urbaine et architecturale, s’étend hors des frontières helvétiques, par l’aménagement des rives de la Saône à Lyon-Confluence ou le dessin du Jardin d’Eole à Paris.
