Résumé:
The landscape architecture of the Nordic countries is just appealing for its aesthetics and high quality as modern Scandinavian architecture. Danish and Swedish landscape architects already numered among the European avant-garde in the first half of the last century. While Spain, France and The Nethelands were moving into the focus of interest in recent decades, a new generation of Scandinavian designers created remarkable landscape architecture - with different emphases in the individual countries. "Topos - European Landscape Magazine" reports regularly on new projects. Notable contributions are collected in this volume to provide a survey of current Scandinavian landscape architecture : Swedish and Finnish national landscapes, new squares in Bergen, architecture and landscape in Iceland, power dams in Norway, parks in Denmark ...

Résumé:
Public parks are among the most important open spaces in our cities, and contribute decisively to their character. They fulfil ecological, social and urban design requirements, and upgrade adjacent neighbourhoods and even whole city districts. New parks are being built all over Europe, in the hearts of cities or out in the periphery, as in the case of Invalidenpark in Berlin and Thames Barrier Park in London, respectively. Some, such as Park André-Citroën, Paris, serve purely recreational purposes. Others, namely the sculpture garden of the Kröller-Muller Museum Park in the Netherland, are devoted to art or to botanic abundance, as the Botanical Garden in Barcelona. The creation of such extensive new green spaces is always the subject of public and professional discourse, no matter whether this concerns La Villette in Paris, Duisburg-Nord Lanscape Park in the Ruhr, or the new park at Munich's old airport in Riem. According, the compact survey is rounded off by theoretical discussion. Based on essays published in "Topos - European landscape magazine" between 1993 and today, the resulting collection of familiar and less-known parks from many European countries provides an excellent overview of current approaches to park and park design.

Résumé:
In the early 1990s the design and creation of the Central Garden at the Getty Center were entrusted to the distinguished contemporary visual artist Robert Irwin. Irwin, a member of California's "light and space" movement, was an unexpected choice for this major commission, and his work has aroused intense interest in the art world and among gardening enthusiasts and visitors to the Getty Center. In "Robert Irwin Getty Garden", Lawrence Weschler offers a lively account of the creation of what Irwin has playfully termed "a sculpture in the form of a garden aspiring to be art." Weschler's narrative is followed by a transcript of conversations in which he and Irwin, in a series of walks through the garden, discuss in detail the decisions, both philosophical and practical, that shaped the making of this major art work in Southern California. The book contains more than 150 colour illustrations, many of them specially commissioned from photographer Becky Cohen.

Résumé:
Each chapter of the book is dedicated to one decade, with an essay outlining general developments during those ten years and a discussion of the most distinctive projects; the most important projects are illustrated. The images consist to a large extent of historic and new photographic material, supplemented where necessary with plans and design drawings. Through the decades, the themes discussed include: the transition from 'utilitarian greenery' to 'greenery for consumption', the Zuiderzee Works - the construction of the massive Afsluitdijk (Enclosing Dike) to close off the Zuiderzee from the Waddenzee, the changes in agriculture, the Ecological Master Plan, garden design on country estates, the transformation of managed nature into 'new nature', and the development of public gardens and parks. The design or the designer are the main focus throughout, always considered in the light of broad social developments, such as fashionable trends, the increase of scale and intensification in agriculture, and changing recreational demands. The book contains work of a.o. Zocher, De Bazel, Granpré Molière, Mien Ruys, Van Eesteren, Dudok, Bijhouwer, Le Roy, Fortuyn/O'Brien, Baljon, Van Gessel and West 8.

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 ?
