Résumé:
Le XIXe siècle finissant, en Grande-Bretagne, l’urgence se fait sentir d’une alternative à la ville industrielle, qui suffoque et se paupérise. Prend forme alors, dans l’esprit de l’urbaniste Ebenezer Howard, le concept de cité-jardin : une ville hors la ville qui renoue avec la nature et procure à ses habitants les conditions d’un bien-être individuel et collectif. Qu’en est-il aujourd’hui de ces ensembles de logements, hier fiertés nationales ? Adoptant tour à tour le point de vue de l’histoire, de l’expérience et de la prospective, une soixantaine de contributeurs internationaux dressent ici un état des lieux contrasté. S’il dénote une inquiétude manifeste quant au devenir des réalisations historiques, il témoigne aussi d’un véritable espoir : celui de voir renaître l’esprit des cités-jardins au sein d’un urbanisme contraint de se repenser face aux enjeux d’un monde en mutation.

Résumé:
A growing, living house, a building made of a plant seems to be a contradiction in terms. Nevertheless, the Khasi in eastern India already knew how to connect the roots of rubber trees to form footbridges, and in southern Germany dance linden trees formed the centre of villages for centuries. Following on from this, the new discipline of Baubotanik is dedicated to designing with trees. Build projects, prototypes and visionary concepts point the way to a new green architecture. This introduction shows the possibilities of such living constructions and explains the botanical growth principles that guide the design. The basics of constructing with trees are presented. The book encourages a whole new look at architecture that becomes part of urban nature.

En 372 planches d'une rare qualité graphique et d'une étonnante fraîcheur de couleur, Besler décrit au fil des saisons la flore, la végétation du fabuleux jardin du prince-évêque de la petite ville d'Eistadt, près de Nuremberg. Plus de mille plantes représentant 607 espèces sont ainsi reproduites avec autant de précision que de sens de la mise en pages. C'est Gérard Aymonin, responsable du laboratoire de phanérogamie au muséum d'Histoire naturelle de Paris qui a étudié avec science et patience, les plantes de ce livre. A la lumière des connaissances d'aujourd'hui, chacune d'elles retrouve ainsi son nom vernaculaire, sa classification et la famille à laquelle elle appartient.

Résumé:
For centuries, the cardinals, popes, and rulers of Italy have devoted themselves to creating vast villa gardens that represent their wealth and power, provide a calm refuge from city life, and showcase lavish plantings and rare flowers. Here, in over two hundred photographs — taken during the Edwardian era when these historic gardens were at their peak — twenty-two of central Italy's most ornate and spectacular palace gardens are presented. This publication reveals the vanished magnificence of the aristocracy's landscapes in images from the archives of Britain's Country Life magazine. Classic photographs display patterned grottoes, elaborate terraces, sophisticated fountains, antique statuary, and sun-dappled arbors to provide an important record of these gardens at a nostalgic moment in time, before the two World Wars provoked irrevocable changes in Italy's political and economic climate and many gardens fell into neglect. Discussing the history and design of each garden, author Helena Attlee brings to life the personalities responsible for such extravagant creations as the Alley of a Hundred Fountains at the Villa d'Este in Tivoli, the swirling parterres de broderie of Villa Doria Pamphili in Rome, the broad terraces and majestic staircases of the Vatican Gardens, the frescoed loggia of the Villa Medici in Fiesole, and the border of innumerable citrus trees circling the Isolotto in Florence's famous Boboli Gardens.

Résumé:
The Villa d'Este is a 16th-century villa in Tivoli, near Rome, internationally renowned for its terraced hillside Italian Renaissance garden containing an outstanding array of fountains, nymphaea, grottoes, water features and atmospheric sound effects. Named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001, the garden is widely considered to be one of the finest examples of Italian Renaissance gardens in Europe. Villa d’Este was first conceived of in 1550 by the governor of Tivoli, Cardinal Ippolito II d’Este, who had long envisioned a garden built on the slopes of the valley known as Valle Gaudente. But it was only after 1560 that the villa’s architectural and iconological blueprint was defined by painter-archaeologist-architect Pirro Ligorio and executed by court architect Alberto Galvani. When Ippolito d’Este died in 1572, the project was nearly complete.
