Summary:
Considérant la nature comme une chaîne nécessaire à comprendre et à apprivoiser, Gilles Clément décrit les phénomènes météorologiques comme la pluie ou le vent, non comme des ennemis mais comme des éléments naturels qu'il faut accueillir. Des phénomènes stupéfiants sont présentés. V. Schaefer, en 1946, montre, notamment, qu'ensemencer le nuage à l'aide de neige carbonique(...)

Summary:
Versailles and the Mechanics of Power explores the significance of the palace and gardens of Versailles. Graafland's exercise consists of superimposing the choreography for the 'Balet Comique de la Royne' of Balthasar de Beaujoyeulx upon the somewhat later gardens of Le Nôtre and the French Sun King. Avoiding a merely visual logic the author analyses the geometric character of the human body in that ballet and compares layout and ballet as a mechanics of power in an early symbolic state. Drawing on the many books and essays on Versailles, the author has added the ballet structure, a framework that tells us about the sometimes hidden but mostly very explicit desires of this period. These in turn tell us not only about the gardens and ballet but even more about French society at that time. Completing the book is a set of analytical drawings which give us both the layout of Versailles and the choreography of the 'Balet', explaining the mechanics of bodily discipline in the 17th century.

Summary:
"The Education of the Eye" examines the origins of visual culture in eighteenth-century Britain. It claims that at the moment when works of visual art were first displayed and contemplated as aesthetic objects, two competing descriptions of the viewer or spectator promoted two very different accounts of culture. The first was constructed on knowledge, on what one already knew, while the second was grounded in the eye itself. Whereas the first was most likely to lead to a socially and politically elite form of visual cutlure, the second, it was held, would almost certainly end up in the chaos of the mob. But there was another route through these conflicting accounts of the visual that preserved the education of the eye while at the same time allowing the eye freedom to enter into the realm of culture. This third route, that of sentimental look, is explored in a series of contexts: the gallery, the pleasure garden, the landscape park, and the country house. This book sets out to reclaim visual culture for the democracy of the eye and to explain how aesthetic contemplation may, once more, be open to all who have eyes to look.

For Rebecca Bushnell, English gardening books tell a tale of the human love for plants and our will to make them do as we wish. These books evoke the desires of gardeners: they show us gardeners who, like poets, imagine not just what is but what should be. In particular, the earliest English garden books, such as Thomas Hill’s The Gardeners Labyrinth or Hugh Platt’s(...)

Summary:
For Rebecca Bushnell, English gardening books tell a tale of the human love for plants and our will to make them do as we wish. These books evoke the desires of gardeners: they show us gardeners who, like poets, imagine not just what is but what should be. In particular, the earliest English garden books, such as Thomas Hill’s The Gardeners Labyrinth or Hugh Platt’s Floraes Paradise, mix magical practices with mundane recipes even when the authors insist that they rely completely on their own experience in these matters. Like early modern “books of secrets,” early gardening manuals often promise the reader power to alter the essential properties of plants: to make the gillyflower double, to change the lily’s hue, or to grow a cherry without a stone. "Green Desire" describes the innovative design of the old manuals, examining how writers and printers marketed them as fiction as well as practical advice for aspiring gardeners. Along with this attention to the delights of reading, it analyzes the strange dignity and pleasure of garden labor and the division of men’s and women’s roles in creating garden art. The book ends by recounting the heated debate over how much people could do to create marvels in their own gardens. For writers and readers alike, these green desires inspired dreams of power and self-improvement, fantasies of beauty achieved without work, and hopes for order in an unpredictable world.

Summary:
The art of designing both unites and divides landscape architecture and architecture. Despite having a long tradition, landscape architecture has lacked a concise and illuminating presentation of the fundamental principles underlying its design and planning concepts. This much sought-after book has evolved out of more than twenty years of teaching experience. The authors distinguish between the variable factors such as climate, growth of vegetation etc. which are determining parameters in landscape architecture, and the more abstract element of design. They describe the ideal design components and demonstrate the extent to which natural features such as surfaces, spaces, paths, borders, hard and soft materials shape and determine the designs. This book clearly reveals how concepts such as order and chaos, way and goal, intention and reaction form the basis for landscape design, just as they do in architecture.
