Résumé:
Gardens take many forms, and have a variety of functions. They can serve as spaces of peace and tranquilty, a way to cultivate wildlife, or as places to develop agricultural resources. Globally, gardens have inspired, comforted, and sustained people from all walks of life, and since the Garden of Eden many iconic gardens have inspired great artists, poets, musicians, and writers. In this short history, Gordon Campbell embraces gardens in all their splendour, from parks, and fruit and vegetable gardens to ornamental gardens, and takes the reader on a globe-trotting historical journey through iconic and cultural signposts of gardens from different regions and traditions. Ranging from the gardens of ancient Persia to modern day allotments, he concludes by looking to the future of the garden in the age of global warming, and the adaptive spirit of human innovation.

Résumé:
Qui ne connaît le château de Versailles et ses jardins?. Et pourtant, nul n'a abordé les messages cachés que cet ouvrage révèle. À travers le jeune héros et son guide Elouane, le lecteur apprend à décrypter la symbolique de la statuaire des jardins, qui apparaît alors comme une mémoire de pierre, de marbre et de bronze. Parterres, bosquets, statues et fontaines, pièces d'eau et terrasses, font des jardins de Versailles une véritable base de données artistique, historique, politique, mais aussi ésotérique. L'esthétique le dispute à la matière, les mythes et les légendes à l'histoire. Inscrits et donc mémorisés dans les jardins, les allégories et les symboles livrent les intentions du créateur et le sens qu'il veut donner à sa pensée et à son action. Il faut donc savoir discerner le visible et l'invisible. Car c'est bien le mystère des jardins du château de Versailles : s'il y a des messages visibles, il y en a aussi d'invisibles. Mises en place volontairement et consciemment par ses créateurs, ce n'est pas tant les statues en elles-mêmes que leurs interactions qui délivrent ces messages. Dans ces jardins où tout est mythe et symbole, le lecteur découvrira qu'il y a du sens dans l'invisible.

Résumé:
This important book explores geometry as a means of approximating landscape and urban forms. In recent years, Carlos Ferrater's architecture studio has regularly and continuously developed new avenues for formal expression. This collection of projects comprises a family of independent experiences, joined by a common logic of design approximation: Geometry as a means of approximating landscape and urban forms. The book is divided into three parts: The time of Geometry, Research Process and Ideographical Resources. This framework aims to define the conditions whereby the job of architecture is to move from geometry to space by means of construction.

Résumé:
Magnificent Buildings, Splendid Gardens returns to print some of the most important works of David Coffin, a leading authority on Renaissance architecture who, as one of the first scholars to apply the tools of art history to the study of gardens, became a founder of the discipline of garden and landscape studies. These essays span the wide range of Coffin's work, from Italian Renaissance architecture, garden design, sculpture, and drawings to English gardens and landscape designers of the seventeenth to early nineteenth centuries. Coffin's approaches are as varied as his subject matter. Some of these essays present the results of his archival research, including his discovery of crucial documents on the Emilian architect Giovan Battista Aleotti and the only documentary evidence identifying Vignola as the architect of the Villa Lante at Bagnaia. Other essays take a much broader cultural view, investigating, for example, the phenomenon of public access to private Renaissance gardens, elucidating the evolving meaning of images of the goddess Venus in English gardens, and identifying the significance of the decorative programs of monuments as diverse as the Villa Belvedere in Rome and the eighteenth-century gardens at Rousham in Oxfordshire. The book also includes a commentary on each essay, written by one of Coffin's former students; a full analytical index; and a complete bibliography of Coffin's work.
