Andre Le Notre (1613-1700) was the greatest landscape architect in France, and his work for Louis XIV (the Sun King) laid the groundwork for the baroque style in landscaping. He also defined the essence of French landscape design -scientific, rationalist-in counterpoint to the more romantic, naturalistic English tradition and based his work on the then state-of-the-art science of optics and perspective. The castle and gardens at Vaux-le-Vicomte (approximately 50 km south of Paris) were begun in 1653. They are the first great landscape designed by Andre Le Notre and mark the beginning of the baroque tradition in gardening. Many of the principles Le Notre tried and tested at Vaux were later employed to great acclaim at Versailles, which he designed at the height of his career.

Résumé:
Los Angeles is a breeding ground for adventurous experimental architects and a magnet for their high-profile clients. "L.A. 2000+" assembles the best work completed in the city since 2000, offering a snapshot of the region and its architecture at the dawn of the twenty-first century. From the widely celebrated Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown Los Angeles by architect Frank Gehry to lesser known but equally arresting works such as Studio Pali Fekete Architectsí, Somis Hay Barn in Ventura County and Godfredsen-Sigalís Hustler Casino in Gardena, the picture that emerges is sometimes startling and unexpected but always impressive. This volume collects thirty original new buildings, designed by both as yet unheralded talents such as null.lab and predock_frane and internationally renowned architects such as Gehry, Thom Mayne of Morphosis, and Eric Owen Moss. The introductory essay by urban designer John Leighton Chase puts these works in historical and architectural context, offering a unique perspective on the opportunities and difficulties inherent in building in a region known not only for its explosive population growth but also for the artistry of its inhabitants.

"Log houses of the world" is the first-ever chronological survey of the greatest examples of log houses designed in Europe and the United States from 1890 to the present. Included are photographs, plans, and little-known drawings - most never before published - from such celebrated Modern-era architects as Eliel Saarinen, Adolf Loos, Le Corbusier, Richard Neutra, and others. The result is both a tour of many homes, and an important vehicle for garnering for these houses the popular recognition, critical and otherwise, that they deserve.
