Summary:
In landscape architecture, representation has become the subject of contention and much discussion. While computer techniques have been a catalyst for change across the field of design as a whole, nowhere have the conventions of representation been called into question more than in landscape architecture – which in itself is undergoing a process of reinvention. With the(...)

Summary:
In landscape architecture, representation has become the subject of contention and much discussion. While computer techniques have been a catalyst for change across the field of design as a whole, nowhere have the conventions of representation been called into question more than in landscape architecture – which in itself is undergoing a process of reinvention. With the onset of rapid urbanisation and our shifting relationship with nature, landscape architecture has proved a potent lens for expressing a wider dialogue taking place in the world. It is, however, only through the introduction of innovative forms of representation – whether digital, analogue or hybrid – that one most vividly sees the emergence of the new. In this book, Diana Balmori explores notions of representation in the discipline at large and across time. She takes us back to landscape design’s roots in the seventeenth century in France and the eighteenth century in England, when it first grappled with questions of imagined exterior space. She explores the discipline’s relationship to painting and the influence of cartography with its bird's-eye views, topographic sections and perspectives. She highlights how new attempts at representation by modern landscape artists such as Patricia Johanson, Ian Hamilton Finlay and David Hockney continue to wrestle with the depiction of landscape.

Summary:
À l’inverse de la plupart des approches scientifiques du XVIIIe siècle, qui tendent à soumettre la nature aux besoins et aux désirs de l’homme, Rousseau n’envisage aucune application pratique à la botanique. Il n’y voit que le plus bel outil offert à l’homme par la Nature pour approfondir sa connaissance de luimême. Une position très moderne – si on la rapporte à la(...)

Il n’y voit que le plus bel outil offert à l’homme par la Nature pour approfondir sa connaissance de luimême. Une position très moderne – si on la rapporte à la problématique du respect de la nature sans cesse réactualisée – que le philosophe développe dans ses Lettres sur la botanique. Aussi, lorsqu’il est chargé d’initier une jeune enfant à cette science par une série de huit missives adressées à sa mère, Madame Delessert, entre 1771 et 1773, Rousseau cherche-t-il à rendre intelligibles les différentes phases de développement de l’être humain autant que celles des plantes.
