Résumé:
Gilles Clément confronts the homogenizing effects of globalization with the diversity of life. As a trained gardener, he places our current knowledge of plant utilization and ecology in the service of the "planetary garden," in which plant species from a tremendous variety of cultures are collected, composed, and carefully overseen in their development by the landscape designer. Clément has taken this approach, which was developed for private gardens, and worked with celebrated architects – most recently, Jean Nouvel – to apply it in his large city parks, including Parc Citroën, the park at the Grande Arche de La Défense, and the museum park at the Musée du Quai Branly in Paris. The high artistic caliber of his designs is attested by exhibitions and installations at the Canadian Centre for Architecture CCA in Montreal and the Centre Pompidou, where they stand beside the work of Daniel Buren, Nan Goldin, and others. Gilles Clément has been presenting his contribution to landscape architecture for decades in more than thirty publications and numerous lectures throughout the world. This is the first comprehensive English-language monograph on his work.

Résumé:
Michel Desvigne est certainement l’architecte paysagiste français le plus marquant sur la scène internationale. Il collabore avec des architectes tels que Richard Rogers, Norman Forster, Renzo Piano, Ieoh Ming Pei, Herzog et de Meuron ou encore Jean Nouvel, et ses projets dotés d’une forte composante conceptuelle sont intimement liés à la notion de géographie. La notion de circulation joue également un grand rôle dans son travail, soulignant l’importance stratégique de l’architecture du paysage dans le domaine de l’urbanisme. Cette monographie thématique analyse les éléments clés du travail de Desvigne à travers différents chapitres consacrés au processus de transformation, à la géographie, au territoire, aux structures urbaines et aux places publiques. Ces notions sont toujours clairement illustrées par une sélection de projets, notamment le Walker Art Center à Minneapolis, le Dallas Center for the Performing Arts, le jardin du ministère de la Culture à Paris et le jardin japonais de la Keio University à Tokyo.

Résumé:
In the summer of 2008, Apeldoorn, the Netherlands' garden city, hosts the inaugural International Garden and Landscape Architecture Triennial--which takes on key issues at the heart of landscape and garden architecture and aims to define and refine the relationship between nature, culture and landscape. Contemporary landscape architecture is called on to create and implement pleasing and ecologically sustainable solutions in situations where different--and often competing--functions exist on the same tract of land. There are a great many people--local residents, ecological and cultural heritage conservationists and academics--for whom these questions are of great concern. Even for the average urban dweller or suburban homeowner, public and private gardens provide society, respite, leisure and an increasingly rare connection with the land. Not just a catalogue overview of the triennial's program, this thoughtful volume includes essays by leading scholars as well as interviews with policy makers and designers.

Résumé:
Amsterdam-based landscape architect Michael van Gessel has been working with, rather than against, nature for the past three decades. He expresses his ethos by quoting the English author and landscape architect Joseph Spence: "Respect for the past, combined with a curiosity for what is and a feeling for what could be. This is the dynamo that starts the engine of the design." Accordingly, van Gessel embraces a diversity of projects, from private gardens to urban planning. He supervised the renovation of Amsterdam's Vondel Park, drew up the master plan to restore the landscaping around Utretch's Castle De Haar and managed to integrate the inner courtyards of the Ministry of Agriculture in The Hague into the urban fabric. This comprehensive volume places van Gessel's myriad approaches into context and illuminates his pivotal role in the formation of contemporary Dutch landscape architecture.

Cet ouvrage vise à combler une lacune dans l'histoire de l'art des jardins et du paysagisme en France. Il analyse la démarche créatrice de Ferdinand Bac : comment réalise t-il, sur la Côte d'Azur, son projet de refondation culturelle de l'art des jardins, puisant aux sources de l'histoire et du territoire méditerranéen ? Quelle a été la postérité de son oeuvre non seulement en Europe mais encore en Amérique où l'on vit éclore des jardins "latins" et "méditerranéens" durant l'entre-deux-guerres ? Enfin, dans sa quête des constantes issues de la terre méditerranéenne, peut-il avoir des disciples aujourd'hui parmi les paysagistes ?

Résumé:
If there is a plateau that continuously unites Hans Dieter Schaal's numerous artistic fields of activity then it is surely that of landscape architecture. Landscape motifs are as convincingly present in his stage sets as they are in his installations, his exhibition architectures, his texts, and, naturally, also his park and garden designs. Schaal has been on the track of the fascination of landscapes since the 1960s with an intensive study of the early landscape gardens of Great Britain, the park complexes of the Romantics and the Enlightenment and he was subsequently able to build a large number of spectacular »follies« and installations in gardens and parks.
