Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gardening is rich in tradition, and many gardens are explicitly designed to refer to or honor the past. But garden design is also rich in innovation, and in The Making of Place John Dixon Hunt explores the wide varieties of approaches, aesthetics, and achievements in garden design throughout the world today. The gardens Hunt explores offer surprising new ideas about how we can carve out a space for respite in nature. Taking readers to gardens public and private, busy and hidden away, to botanical gardens, small parks, university campuses, and vernacular gardens, Hunt showcases the differences between cultures and countries around the globe, including the United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, China, and Australia. Richly illustrated, The Making of Place is sure to enchant and inspire even the most modest of home gardeners.

Download or read book Der Garten ein Ort des Wandels written by Erik de Jong and published by vdf Hochschulverlag AG. This book was released on 2006 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Denkmalpflege im Garten ist eine spannungsvolle Aufgabe: Welche Kulturleistung wäre stärker dem Wandel unterworfen als ein Garten – im Laufe des Tages, der Jahreszeiten und längerer Zeiträume? Denkmalpflege dagegen zielt auf Dauer, auf Bewahrung des Bestandes, sie will Veränderungen ausschalten oder wenigstens minimieren. Die vorliegende Publikation weist einen Weg, der die denkmalpflegerischen Grundsätze der Substanzerhaltung berücksichtigt, ohne den gärtnerischen Prozess zu unterbinden, indem der Wandel als Denkmalwert des Gartens begriffen und in die Erhaltungsstrategien integriert wird. In einem ersten Teil wird der natur- und der menschenbedingte Wandel im Garten aus unterschiedlicher Perspektive fokussiert. Die im zweiten Teil vorgestellten Beispiele zeigen die Chancen, aber auch die hohen Ansprüche, die sich dem Denkmalpfleger, dem Gestalter und dem Auftraggeber stellen, wenn das Gartendenkmal nicht als statisches Bild, sondern als Prozess verstanden wird.

Download or read book Ancient Marbles in Naples in the Eighteenth Century written by Eloisa Dodero and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-09-16 with total page 654 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Ancient Marbles in Naples in the Eighteenth Century Eloisa Dodero aims at documenting the history of numerous private collections formed in Naples during the 18th century, with particular concern for the “Neapolitan marbles” and the circumstances of their dispersal. Research has thus made it possible to formulate a synthesis of the collecting dynamics of Naples in the 18th century, to define the interest of the great European collectors, especially British, in the antiquities of the city and its territory and to draw up a catalogue which for the first time brings together the nucleus of sculptures reported in the Neapolitan collections or coming from irregular excavations, most of which shared the destiny of dispersal, in some cases here traced in definitive fashion.
