Summary:
Influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright, as well as Paolo Soleri, Bruce Goff and Gunnar Birkerts, Bruder opened his own design studio in 1974. His self-built house/studio on the desert edge of Phoenix garnered a Record Houses of 1977 design award. A Fellowship in Architecture at the American Academy in Rome was a career turning-point permitting several months of intense reflection from a studio overlooking Rome, and travel throughout Europe to study historic and contemporary architecture. Filled with fresh perspective, Bruder won the commission to design the 280,000 square foot Phoenix Central Library. It opened in 1995. Cultural, civic and private commissions followed, as did opportunities to travel, lecture, and teach.

Summary:
Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1778) is most known for his terrifyingly original series of etchings of labyrinthine and megalomaniac prisons, Carceri d'Invenzione. In his own day, he was most celebrated for his Vedute, 137 etchings of ancient and modern Rome; so renowned were these startling and dramatic chiaroscuro images, imbued with Piranesi's romantic feeling for archaeological ruins, that they formed the mental picture of Rome for generations after. Indeed, Piranesi could be said to have shaped a whole strain of contemporary architecture, as well as the wider visualization of antiquity itself. In our time, he has had a direct influence on writers such as Borges and Kafka and on filmmakers such as Terry Gilliam and Peter Greenaway.

Summary:
C'est en Italie, à la Renaissance, que se fixent les premières images du jardin européen : compositions géométriques, arbres taillés, parterres de fleurs, intégration au paysage. Cet héritage de Rome, sublimé par des dizaines de réalisations dans toutes les principautés d'Italie, donnera naissance aux jardins classiques de Provence, d'Espagne, de Grèce ou de Turquie. La colonisation entraîne la naissance de jardins de plantes acclimatées qui envahissnet rapidement la Côte d'Azur puis les rivieras italienne et espagnole. Le paysage en est radicalement bouleversé. L'époque contemporaine ne fait que prolonger ce mouvement de mélange, d'échanges d'idées et de formes, de métissage. Grenade, Florence, Rome, Nice, Tel-Aviv, Aix-en-Provence, Marrakech, Palerme, Tunis, Cordoue, Lisbonne, Monte-Carlo sont quelques-unes des étapes de cette aventure des jardins de la Méditerranée.
