Summary:
Frederick Law Olmsted (1822-1903) designed New York City's Central Park, Brooklyn's Prospect Park, Chicago's South Park and Jackson Park, Montreal's Mount Royal Park, the park systems of Boston and Buffalo, and many others. But Olmsted's concerns extended beyond the hills and lakes, the flora and fauna of the park: he also designed parkways and neighborhoods, reshaping cities around their parks. He thus reinvented the American urban landscape as a democratic outdoor setting that encouraged a new kind of participation in city life. Olmsted was one of the most gifted of American writers of his generation: prior to designing Central Park, he had written five important books, including The Cotton Kingdom (an account of his travels in the slave states, also available from Da Capo Press); and his writings on American landscapes are unfailingly lively, eloquent, and passionate. Civilizing American Cities collects Olmsted's plans for New York, San Francisco, Buffalo, Montreal, Chicago, and Boston; his suburban plans for Berkeley, California and Riverside, Illinois; and a generous helping of his writings on urban landscape in general. These selections, expertly edited and introduced, are not only enjoyable but essential reading for anyone interested in the history - and the future - of America's cities.

Cette présentation de plus de deux cents créateurs et des mouvements ou des thèmes les plus représentatifs vient à point réparer cette injustice. Retraçant en deux tomes la chronologie d'un art véritablement protéiforme, cet ouvrage réunit plus de cent auteurs choisis sur les conseils d'experts, et présente l'essentiel des connaissances sur les plus importants créateurs de jardins et de paysages de l'Europe francophone. Conçu comme un outil au service des amateurs et des professionnels, il rend compte des recherches et des publications les plus récentes, sans omettre l'influence de l'histoire des mentalités, l'évolution de l'idée de nature et cette des modes, ainsi que l'apport sans cesse renouvelé des techniques. L'ensemble forme une histoire en mosaïque : celle d'un art en perpétuelle métamorphose.

Summary:
This book combines breathtaking aerial photographs and exquisite map-drawings of the American landscape with thoughtful essays that explore how various cultures have forged the landscapes in different regions of the country and what the possibilities are for future landscape design. The authors demonstrate that landscape representation is more than descriptive--it can also instruct and construct how people perceive, shape, and transform the land. Essays, Drawings, and Commentary by James Corner; photographs by Alex S. MacLean; foreword by Michael Van Valkenburgh.
