Toutes les instances, tous les dirigeants, tous les citoyens sont avertis de l'absurdité du mode de vie entraîné par l'économie de marché. Le projet humain, conscient ou inconscient, se définit en peu de mots : mourir sous les richesses. Un jardin : enclos destiné à protéger le meilleur.

Le projet humain, conscient ou inconscient, se définit en peu de mots : mourir sous les richesses. Un jardin : enclos destiné à protéger le meilleur. Meilleur des fruits et des légumes - flore nourricière, diversité exploitée - meilleur des arbres et des fleurs, de l'art de les disposer. L'art des jardins a exprimé son excellence à travers l'architecture et l'ornement. Ces critères ne suffisent plus. La vie qui s'y développe, parce qu'elle est menacée, devient l'argument principal des aménagements. Cette charge efface, sans les interdire, les préséances d'autrefois manier la perspective, disposer les paysages en tableaux, composer les massifs, organiser les fêtes et les distractions. Regarder pourrait bien être la plus juste façon de jardiner demain.

Résumé:
The remaining corner of an old farm, unclaimed by developers. The brook squeezed between housing plans. Abandoned railroad lines. The stand of woods along an expanded highway. These are the outposts of what was once a larger pattern of forests and farms, the "last landscape." According to William H. Whyte, the place to work out the problems of our metropolitan areas is within those areas, not outside them. The age of unchecked expansion without consequence is over, but where there is waste and neglect there is opportunity. Our cities and suburbs are not jammed; they just look that way. There are in fact plenty of ways to use this existing space to the benefit of the community, and The Last Landscape provides a practical and timeless framework for making informed decisions about its use.

Résumé:
Versailles and the Mechanics of Power explores the significance of the palace and gardens of Versailles. Graafland's exercise consists of superimposing the choreography for the 'Balet Comique de la Royne' of Balthasar de Beaujoyeulx upon the somewhat later gardens of Le Nôtre and the French Sun King. Avoiding a merely visual logic the author analyses the geometric character of the human body in that ballet and compares layout and ballet as a mechanics of power in an early symbolic state. Drawing on the many books and essays on Versailles, the author has added the ballet structure, a framework that tells us about the sometimes hidden but mostly very explicit desires of this period. These in turn tell us not only about the gardens and ballet but even more about French society at that time. Completing the book is a set of analytical drawings which give us both the layout of Versailles and the choreography of the 'Balet', explaining the mechanics of bodily discipline in the 17th century.

Résumé:
"The Education of the Eye" examines the origins of visual culture in eighteenth-century Britain. It claims that at the moment when works of visual art were first displayed and contemplated as aesthetic objects, two competing descriptions of the viewer or spectator promoted two very different accounts of culture. The first was constructed on knowledge, on what one already knew, while the second was grounded in the eye itself. Whereas the first was most likely to lead to a socially and politically elite form of visual cutlure, the second, it was held, would almost certainly end up in the chaos of the mob. But there was another route through these conflicting accounts of the visual that preserved the education of the eye while at the same time allowing the eye freedom to enter into the realm of culture. This third route, that of sentimental look, is explored in a series of contexts: the gallery, the pleasure garden, the landscape park, and the country house. This book sets out to reclaim visual culture for the democracy of the eye and to explain how aesthetic contemplation may, once more, be open to all who have eyes to look.

Résumé:
For Rebecca Bushnell, English gardening books tell a tale of the human love for plants and our will to make them do as we wish. These books evoke the desires of gardeners: they show us gardeners who, like poets, imagine not just what is but what should be. In particular, the earliest English garden books, such as Thomas Hill’s The Gardeners Labyrinth or Hugh Platt’s Floraes Paradise, mix magical practices with mundane recipes even when the authors insist that they rely completely on their own experience in these matters. Like early modern “books of secrets,” early gardening manuals often promise the reader power to alter the essential properties of plants: to make the gillyflower double, to change the lily’s hue, or to grow a cherry without a stone. "Green Desire" describes the innovative design of the old manuals, examining how writers and printers marketed them as fiction as well as practical advice for aspiring gardeners. Along with this attention to the delights of reading, it analyzes the strange dignity and pleasure of garden labor and the division of men’s and women’s roles in creating garden art. The book ends by recounting the heated debate over how much people could do to create marvels in their own gardens. For writers and readers alike, these green desires inspired dreams of power and self-improvement, fantasies of beauty achieved without work, and hopes for order in an unpredictable world.

Résumé:
The art of designing both unites and divides landscape architecture and architecture. Despite having a long tradition, landscape architecture has lacked a concise and illuminating presentation of the fundamental principles underlying its design and planning concepts. This much sought-after book has evolved out of more than twenty years of teaching experience. The authors distinguish between the variable factors such as climate, growth of vegetation etc. which are determining parameters in landscape architecture, and the more abstract element of design. They describe the ideal design components and demonstrate the extent to which natural features such as surfaces, spaces, paths, borders, hard and soft materials shape and determine the designs. This book clearly reveals how concepts such as order and chaos, way and goal, intention and reaction form the basis for landscape design, just as they do in architecture.

In the second of three books, the author explores the elusive rules that govern flow in nature - from the swirl of a wisp of smoke and eddies in rivers, to the huge persistent storm that is the Great Spot on Jupiter. Whether the movement of wind, water, sand, or flocks of birds, he explains the science of the extraordinary forms and patterns that emerge.
