Résumé:
This book invites the reader to indulge in contemplation, to delight in the aesthetic and spiritual experience offered by gardens. Published on the occasion of an exhibition curated by Alicia Chillida, it explores the typical concepts of the Japanese garden and is inspired by the work of Mirei Shigemori, a renowned landscape architect, theorist, painter, and ikebana master, who advocated the concept of the “eternal modern” to achieve a timeless modernity. Works range from the 19th century to the present, and from traditional prints to the latest manga. Included are written contributions by Chantal Maillard, Beatriz Blanco, Mitsuaki Shigemori, and others.

Résumé:
Designing gardens, parks and landscapes requires a holistic approach. It also requires extensive specialist knowledge. In courses and manuals the generalist or in-depth levels are frequently under-represented, or the attempted comprehensive view becomes too complex. "Landscape for Architects" now offers a fundamental reference work which is as comprehensive as it is practical and as holistic as it is detailed. Created in cooperation with the Architecture Department of Braunschweig Technical University, Landscape for Architects addresses the aspects of landscape architecture: "questions" are raised with abstract schematic drawings, and possible 'answers' are illustrated with analytical drawings of case studies from the 20th and 21st centuries in order to inspire the reader's own creativity and to support the design process.
