Summary:
Miniature and Panorama offers a look at projects since 2000 by the firm Vogt Landscape Architects, Zurich/Munich, which is internationally active. With photographs, plans, and explanatory texts, this volume sets forth the intellectual foundation on which the projects of Vogt Landscape Architects are based. In words and pictures, it describes and illuminates thirty projects, organized according to the exterior typologies of landscape, park, square, garden, cemetery, courtyard, promenade, and interior. Among them are the exterior spaces of the Allianz Arena in Munich, various projects on Novartis Campus in Basel, and the Masoala Rain Forest Hall at the Zurich Zoo. The broad range of essays and articles by friends—Olafur Eliasson, Peter Erni, Hamish Fulton, Roman Signer, Olaf Unverzart, and Christian Vogt—expresses Günther Vogt’s conception of landscape architecture as a heterogeneous field combining a variety of disciplines from the natural sciences, the arts, and design.

Summary:
Hargreaves Associates has been at the forefront of landscape architectural practice since its founding in 1983, creating a narrative approach to landscape architecture that layers history, ecology, and environmental phenomena. Whether reductive or rich, highly programmed or passive, culturally interpretive or teeming with the phenomena of nature’s own systems, the built landscapes of Hargreaves Associates emphasize the power of connection to day-to-day life. This volume presents projects from throughout the 25-year history of the firm and highlights the firm's role in advancing the reoccupation of postindustrial sites, including the reclamation of waterfronts within the United States, Europe, and Australia. Featuring color photographs and illustrations throughout, the book also shows how the firm works with cultural landscapes, urban parks, smaller plazas, and gardens. Included are details on Hargreaves' innovative entries in recent landscape architectural competitions, including its stunning design of a 270-acre Victorian-style pleasure garden for the 2012 London Olympics.

Summary:
From high-rise to desert, urban sprawl to empty canyons, the American landscape is incredibly various : how does one even begin to take stock of its endlessly proliferating cityscapes and vast horizons? Reading the American Landscape rises marvelously to the challenge. For this anthropological epic, 25 landscape architects, urban designers, visual artists, photographers and commentators on the American landscape were invited by The Netherlands Foundation for Visual Arts, Design and Architecture to undertake a journey through the United States, to study and record its history and development. Their study revolved around three themes or types of location : the city park as a social space in densely developed cities; landscapes on the periphery of expanding cities; and the development of large-scale rural areas as exercises in conservation. The writers for this project were each given a bibliography, from which they selected a single title as a starting point for their essays, on subjects ranging from parks and gardens to more general speculations on the unique features of the American landscape.

Summary:
A landscape architect, city planner, and creative genius who transformed the American landscape, Frederick Law Olmsted was a man of passionate vision and drive. He defined the profession of landscape architecture and designed America’s most outstanding landscapes, many gorgeously illustrated here, including New York’s Central Park, Brooklyn’s Prospect Park, the U. S. Capitol grounds, and the Biltmore Estate. During a remarkable forty-year career that began in the mid-1800s, Olmsted created the first major urban parks and park systems in this country, along with widely influential suburban residential communities. He was a pivotal figure in the movement to create scenic reservations and national parks, such as Niagara Falls, Yosemite, and Yellowstone, and he contributed to the design of many academic campuses, including Stanford University. A comprehensive view of the man and his work, this updated edition of the Rizzoli classic marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of this seminal American landscape designer and includes new photography of Olmsted’s masterworks Central and Prospect parks, as well as a new introduction and new final chapter by the author that examines Olmsted’s ongoing influence.

Summary:
L'intérêt grandissant pour le patrimoine des jardins a eu pour corollaire, ces dernières années, un renouvellement des recherches historiques, qui a permis de le replacer dans le cadre d'une approche culturelle complexe, alliant arts, sciences et techniques. Dans ce contexte, il devient indispensable d'interroger l'historiographie, de retracer une certaine généalogie de la recherche, pour en comprendre les avancées, les aléas et les lacunes. Ernest de Ganay (1880-1963) fait ici figure de pionnier. À la fois amateur éclairé, poète de la mouvance symboliste et historien rigoureux, il fut un acteur de premier plan de la vie culturelle de l'entre-deux-guerres. Il élabora alors une œuvre importante où se conjuguent des analyses monographiques, nourries d'une profonde familiarité avec les jardins eux-mêmes, et d'ambitieuses synthèses qui reposent sur une parfaite maîtrise des sources. Bibliophile, éditeur savant de textes inédits ou de traités oubliés, il a établi une Bibliographie de l'art des jardins, travail resté longtemps inédit dont il légua le manuscrit, avec l'ensemble de ses archives à la bibliothèque des Arts décoratifs (Paris). Associant la réédition de cette compilation savante, qui reste un ouvrage de référence pour les chercheurs et les amateurs, au texte du Poème des jardins (1919), ainsi qu'à la publication de l'inventaire des "Papiers de Ganay" conservés à la bibliothèque des Arts décoratifs, ce livre propose un portrait intellectuel d'un des pères fondateurs de l'histoire des jardins en France.

Summary:
Frederick Law Olmsted is the father of American landscape architecture. His firm, and the successor firms that sprung from it, worked through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries to shape some of our most beloved green spaces, including national, state, and city parks, suburban neighborhoods, and academic campuses. He is most famous for creating New York’s Central and Prospect Parks, Stanford University’s campus, and the Capitol Grounds. What is less known and surprising about his legacy is that he worked widely across North America. By highlighting 200 iconic landscapes, many of which are still open to the public today,"Experiencing Olmsted" brings a fresh approach to the firms’ work and philosophy. It highlights not only grand city parks, but also other public venues born out of a desire for social equity. Olmsted was an early voice for parks as democratic spaces that could be reached on foot by a large percentage of any city’s populace. He viewed parks as restorative places—what he termed "the lungs of a city." Brimming with contemporary and archival photography as well as original drawings and plans, this truly remarkable record brings these places to vivid life.

Summary:
Louis Le Roy has been working for more than thirty years on an enormous structure in a meadow at the Friesian settlement of Mildam near Heerenveen. There, on a two-hectare site, he piles up with his bare hands paving bricks, paving stones, kerbstones and other discarded street rubble while allowing nature to proceed about him unhindered. Le Roy calls this fascinating jungle populated by large stacked edifices an 'Eco-Cathedral'. Inspired by the Nobel Prize-winner Ilya Prigogine, Le Roy pondered the following question: 'What can one person achieve working with nature in space and time? This book zooms in on those two aspects crucial to his work: space and time. Le Roy's position on these concepts is at odds with the often rapid, super-efficient, function-hugging approach to greenspace and nature in the Netherlands. The Eco-Cathedral is a place where time regains space and space regains time. So the project he began is expected to be continued by others at least until the year 3000. The ideas underpinning Le Roy's project - the importance of the time factor in spatial processes, and working with complex, dynamic systems and networks - make it relevant to current discourse on architecture, urban design and spatial planning.
