Résumé:
Louis de Carmontelle was an eighteenth-century French draftsman, painter, and garden designer. Beginning in 1783 he painted a series of panoramas on translucent paper that became a popular source of entertainment at royal court gatherings. These rolled-up transparencies (rouleaux transparents)were cranked through a backlit viewing box, and the "moving pictures" were accompanied by live storytelling that gave spectators the experience of journeying through beautiful landscapes. Presented chronologically, the transparencies show the evolution of eighteenth-century fashions and customs. The author re-creates the original viewing experience by leading the reader through a series of panoramic scenes, and, in the process, offers a lively analysis of eighteenth-century social life. Drawn from both museum and private collections, the charming illustrations include gatefolds showing the full extent of the J. Paul Getty Museum's Figures Walking in a Parkland as well as many exquisite details of elegant outdoor gatherings and verdant parklands. The book presents all of Carmontelle's extant transparencies, some of which survive only in fragments and a number of which have never been published.

Résumé:
"This other Eden" is a captivating narrative of seven great gardens, beautiful canvases that represent not just pleasure grounds but a country's evolution. Showpieces of grand design, they are also barometers of social change; lasting reflections of intellectual endeavour, of religion and philosophy, science and technology, art and literature, from Robert Cecil's garden at Hatfield House, conceived by the famous botanist and plant-collector John Tradescant, who travelled widely to seek out unusual specimens, to Capability Brown, who 'improved' upon nature to create the archetypal English parkland; from Joseph Paxton, whose engineering feats at Chatsworth mirrored the great Victorian age of technology, to Getrude Jekyll, who turned back to nature and designed the English cottage garden renowned the world over.

Résumé:
Enge Kooperationen mit Architekten eingehen, Traditionen der eigenen Disziplin sehen und fortsetzen, Freiräume temporär oder nachhaltig gestalten, die Krise der Künstlichkeit überwinden – die Anforderungen an heutige Landschaftsarchitektur erhalten immer komplexere Dimensionen. Auf welche Weise können Gebäude und Freiraum entwurflich integriert werden? Welche Potenziale ergibt das Zusammenwirken von Landschaftsplanung und Ingenieurskunst? Was folgt, nachdem Design zur Künstlichkeit gerann? An zahlreichen aktuellen landschaftlichen, städtischen und privaten Planungen sowie anhand von thematischen Essays renommierter Autoren (u.a. Karl Ganser, Thies Schröder, Christian Welzbacher) zeigt das attraktive Buch, welche wegweisenden Antworten die landschaftsarchitektonischen Gestaltungen der Gegenwart auf zentrale Fragestellungen geben.
