Summary:
Jean-Pierre Barillet-Deschamps (1824-1873), premier jardinier en chef du service des promenades et plantations de la ville de Paris, est l’auteur de l’aménagement paysager de la capitale au moment de sa transformation par le préfet Haussmann. Transformant notamment les bois de Boulogne et de Vincennes, le parc Monceau, réalisant le parc des Buttes-Chaumont, il inaugure un nouveau type de jardin, caractérisé par les vallonnements, les formes sinueuses des allées et des pelouses, la richesse de la décoration végétale, qui exalte la modernité du Second Empire et de la bourgeoisie, nouvelle classe dominante. Les nouveaux jardins parisiens se font le reflet de cette société, de ses désirs, ses principes et ses valeurs; et révèlent en même temps ses faiblesses et ses contradictions. Image fidèle de la bourgeoisie parisienne, le nouveau jardin est diversement accueilli dans les pays où il est exporté: en province, à Lille, Marseille, Avignon, Hyères, ainsi qu’à l’étranger, à Genève, Milan, Turin, Vienne et Le Caire. Le jardin parisien du Second Empire caractérisera ainsi l’art des jardins du XIXè siècle, et marquera de son empreinte la plupart des réalisations paysagères du XXè siècle. Luisa Limido est née en Italie en 1964. Architecte, Docteur en géographie à l’Université de Paris I, elle a préparé une thèse sur les jardins publics parisiens sous le Second Empire. Elle travaille actuellement sur le rapport ville-nature et société dans la ville du XIXè et XXè siècles.

Summary:
The relationship between landscape and architecture became strained in the early Modern Movement when the two parted ways in an effort to idealize place making. The aim of this volume of essays is to create a platform where these two disciplines may be reunited in a critical dialogue. The book originates from a symposium of the title and lecture series organized by the School of Architecture at Arizona State University during 1998-1999. It includes over 20 essays by academics and professionals whose work addresses the need to reconsider these two disciplines as complementary pieces of the same puzzle.

Summary:
Casey's discussion ranges widely from Northern Sung landscape painting to nineteenth-century American and British landscape painting and photography, from prehistoric petroglyphs and medieval portolan charts to seventeenth-century Dutch cartography and land survey maps of the American frontier. From these culturally and historically diverse forays a theory of representation emerges. Casey proposes that the representation of place in visual works be judged in terms not of resemblance, but of reconnecting with an earth and world that are not the mere content of mind or language-a reconnection that calls for the embodiment and implacement of the human subject.

Summary:
"Geography of the gaze" offers a new history and theory of how the way we look at things influences what we see. Focusing on Western Europe from the seventeenth to the nineteenth century, Renzo Dibbini shows how developments in science, art, mapping, and visual epistemology affected the way natural and artificial landscapes were perceived and portrayed. He begins with the idea of the "view" explaining its role in the invention of landscape painting and in the definition of landscape as a cultural space. Among other topics, Dubbini explores how the descriptive and pictorial techniques used in mariners' charts, view-oriented atlases, military cartography, and garden design were linked to the proliferation of highly realistic paintings of landscapes and city scenes; how the "picturesque" system for defining and composing landscapes affected not just art but also archaeology and engineering; and how the ever-changing modern cityspaces inspired new ways of seeing and representing the urban scene in Impressionist painting, photography, and stereoscopy. Transladed by Lydia G. Cochrane.
