EUROPEAN GARDEN DESIGN....
Atmospheric photography and informed text are used to trace the wide variety of gardens, which have been created throughout European art history. Gardens are idyllic refuges where we can find tranquillity, recuperation and enjoyment. The cultural history of gardens is closely bound up with man's hopes and longings. According to most of the world's creation stories, the human race began in an en-closed garden with trees, blossoms, fruits and clear springs. This passion for shaping the abundance of nature runs throughout history from the legendary Hanging Gardens of Babylon to the rich tradition of European garden design.
AVANT GARDENERS
AVANT GARDNERS 50 Visionaries of the Contemporary Landscape‘… this is the most important book of the year for me, thoughtful (Richardson always is), beautifully produced and taking its readers into much unfamiliar territory – The Independent With over 100 projects, this book is an encyclopaedic look at the cutting edge in garden design and offers an inspirational archive for practitioners and enthusiasts. Contemporary garden design has embraced the latest thinking in science and materials, architecture and product design – redefining the border between nature and the man-made. One indication of the rise in popularity – and controversy – of these gardens has been the growing number of conceptual garden festivals, which have become the premier international showcases for new ideas.
