Résumé:
For nearly thirty years, starting in the 1960s, Franklin D. Murphy was a dominant figure in the cultural development of Los Angeles. As chancellor of UCLA and later as chief executive of the Times Mirror company, Murphy channeled more than a billion dollars into the city's universities, museums, concert halls, and libraries. The Franklin D. Murphy Sculpture Garden, one of his landmark projects, is also one of the UCLA campus's great treasures. Standing as a model for sculpture gardens internationally since its dedication in 1967, the Murphy Garden features seventy-two important modern and contemporary sculptures in a five-acre site designed by landscape architect Ralph Cornell. This fully-illustrated catalog documents the entire Murphy Garden collection and provides a scholarly entry for each artist – a sampling of which includes Deborah Butterfield, Alexander Calder, Henri Matisse, Joan Miró, Henry Moore, Isamu Noguchi, Auguste Rodin, and David Smith. Three essays–by Victoria Steele, Cynthia Burlingham, and Marc Treib – focus respectively on the role of Franklin Murphy in the garden's planning and execution, the acquisition of the sculptures, and the garden's significance within the history of sculpture garden design. Published by the Hammer Museum, University of California, Los Angeles.

The courtyard houses of Los Angeles range from humble to sumptuous, from simple bungalow-style dwellings arranged around a central court to more ornate buildings combining Italian, Spanish, and North African influences. The courtyards not only create a sense of privacy and provide an illusion of green space for their inhabitants, they also provide a viable option for housing in dense urban areas. This book documents the courtyards through drawings, plans, and more than 200 photographs.

Résumé:
Leisure has a huge impact on European landscapes. Contemporary Western life has given rise to all sorts of mobilities, flexibilities and incentives that fuel the sometimes dramatic changes in the landscape we are witnessing today. Can the relationship between leisure and landscape be a productive one and, if so, under what conditions? This complex relationship was the subject of a European project, instigated by Dirk Sijmons, Dutch Government Advisor on Landscape, involving thirty universities from twenty countries. This book presents the resulting design proposals in facts, figures, essays, illustrations, bibliography, maps, and photography by Martin Parr.

Résumé:
Une synthèse inédite de l’art des jardins au XXè siècle. L'humanité a toujours essayé de façonner la nature selon l'idée qu'elle se faisait de la perfection – cette notion évoluant au gré des époques –, oscillant entre le désir de la maîtriser et celui de la laisser libre. Au XXè siècle, l’art des jardins et le paysagisme en France n’ont cessé de soulever à leur manière un débat essentiel, opposant les partisans d’une beauté «libre» et «naturelle», soucieux de préserver la diversité des paysages et des écosystèmes, à ceux d’une beauté soumise à la puissance rationnelle et unificatrice de la technique. Parmi les livres consacrés à l’histoire de l’art des jardins en France, peu nombreux sont ceux qui traitent du Xè siècle. Cet ouvrage richement illustré de Jean-Pierre Le Dantec synthétise ce débat en confrontant le «sauvage» et le «régulier», qui ont marqué la création jardiniste et paysagiste française tout au long du XXè siècle, depuis les conceptions de Jean-Claude-Nicolas Forestier jusqu'à notre époque d'«urbain généralisé», en passant par le jardin art déco ou cubiste de Véra, Moreux, Gévrékian ou Lurçat ou le paysagisme «bocager» de Le Corbusier dans l'entre-deux guerres. De nos jours, le débat se situe entre les défenseurs intransigeants des écosystèmes existants et les partisans de la toute puissance de la technique. Premier à embrasser dans sa totalité cette histoire méconnue, cet ouvrage entend rendre justice à un art réputé mineur en le situant dans son contexte social, politique, économique, culturel et international. À l'heure où la vogue des jardins fait en France un retour étonnant, ce livre propose de multiples axes de réflexion : le jardin ne serait-il pas un miroir de notre société ouverte, urbaine, technologique et démocratique ?

Résumé:
Crowe evaluates the connections between the natural and manmade in our towns and cities, farms and gardens, architecture and works of civil engineering. He draws on the lessons to be learned from the buildings and cities of the past in restoring critical traditional values that have been lost to modernism which tends to see the built world almost exclusively through the abstractions of postenlightenment science. Crowe's starting point is indigenous architecture, the origins of our cities and towns where the first geometries were imposed on nature. He traces our separation from nature over time, from the long period of human history when nature served as a paradigm for creation.
