Download or read book Modern Landscape Architecture written by Marc Treib and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1994-07-25 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty-two essays that provide a forum for assessing the tenets, accomplishments and limits of modernism in landscape architecture and for formulating ideas about possible directions for the future of the discipline These twenty-two essays provide a rich forum for assessing the tenets, accomplishments, and limits of modernism in landscape architecture and for formulating ideas about possible directions for the future of the discipline. During the 1930s Garrett Eckbo, Dan Kiley, and JamesRose began to integrate modernist architectural ideas into their work and to design a landscape more in accord with the life and sensibilities of their time. Together with Thomas Church, whose gardens provided the setting for California living, they laid the foundations for a modern American landscape design. This first critical assessment of modem landscape architecture brings together seminal articles from the 1930s and 1940s by Eckbo, Kiley, Rose, Fletcher Steele, and Christopher Tunnard, and includes contributions by contemporary writers and designers such as Peirce Lewis, Catherine Howett, John Dixon Hunt, Peter Walker, and Martha Schwartz who examine the historical and cultural framework within which modern landscape designers have worked. There are also essays by Lance Neckar, Reuben Rainey, Gregg Bleam, Michael Laurie, and Marc Treib that discuss the designs and legacy of the Americans Tunnard, Eckbo, Church, Kiley, and Robert Irwin. Dorothée Imbert takes up Pierre-Emile Legrain and French modernist gardens of the 1920s, and Thorbjörn Andersson reviews experiments with stylized naturalism developed by Erik Glemme and others in the Stockholm park system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following up on 100 Years, 100 Buildings, author John Hill steps outside to present a century's worth of the most breathtaking and significant landscape designs around the globe. Beginning with Filoli, the century-old, forward-looking estate situated just south of San Francisco, and closing with The Park, the first public garden ever created in Las Vegas, John Hill takes readers on a worldwide tour, one per year, of beautiful, inspiring, creatively designed, and historically significant landscapes. From the leafy promenades along the Ljubljanica River in Slovenia and the lush, tropical gardens at Lunuganga in Sri Lanka, to the Peace Memorial Park in Japan and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., each of these public sites is currently accessible--a fact that makes this grouping a superb "must-see list" for landscape enthusiasts. Double-page spreads feature color images paired with Hill's insightful texts.

Download or read book The Authentic Garden written by Richard Hartlage and published by The Monacelli Press, LLC. This book was released on 2015-11-17 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In contemporary American garden design, beauty for beauty’s sake is making a comeback. The sixty gardens featured here trace current planting trends across the country, showcasing the best designs of recent years from the verdant Pacific Northwest to the tailored Eastern Seaboard, as well as prairies in Denver and Texas and exquisitely detailed private gardens in the Southwest that create a sense of lushness even while working exclusively within the vocabulary of cactuses and succulents. Plants are used to reinforce meaningful content, ecological strategies, and, most importantly, to create immersive and emotional experiences. As the movements of architectural, naturalistic, meadow, matrix, graphic, and ecological planting design have been adopted in such notable incarnations as the High Line in New York and Citygarden in St. Louis, they have rekindled interest in using plants that suit a given site’s ecology—and in letting plants, rather than hardscape elements, lead design. Residential as well as public gardens are featured, and all are united by an immediately perceptible, intelligent selection of plants that create an enthralling, memorable, and fitting sense of place: this is what makes a garden truly authentic. Over 250 full-color images reveal gardens created by the top American firms working today, including Andrea Cochran, Jack deLashmet, Doyle Herman, Elysian Landscapes, Gustafson Guthrie Nichol, Hoerr Schaudt, Ron Lutsko, Steve Martino, Nelson Byrd Woltz, Nievera Williams, Oehme van Sweden, OLIN, Raymond Jungles, Christine Ten Eyck, Bernard Trainor, and Michael Vergason, as well as beautiful gems of gardens by lesser known regional firms. Detail as well as overview images of gardens throughout the seasons and abundant plant identifications make this volume a valuable reference for all home gardeners as well as landscape design professionals interested in tracing the themes prevalent in contemporary American gardens.

Including a wide range of case studies from countries including many in western Europe, the United States, Canada, India, Japan and China, and lavishly illustrated with over 200 full-colour images, the book is a must-have volume for anyone interested in the history and current practice of landscape architecture.

Download or read book Inspiring Gardening written by Beverly Hill and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-03-26 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both front yard and back yard as well as patio gardening design differ because the front of the house allows for the first impression, not only the visitor receives, but the home-owner is welcomed home to. As well as shaping the first impressions of visitors, the front yard design needs to offer accessibility. It must be remembered that home owners spend much less time in the front and patio, so the course and garden designs are generally focused around pathways or driveways. Creating front yard gardening appeal is also great for added property value, and the more simple and inspiring it is, the more money and time can be spend on the back yard design, where everyone looks to; for their own private gardening and kitchen love. Front yard landscaping in the US is a very new concept, and has come about as a greater need for security because more homes are set back on the land, and surrounded by secure garden walls. This was once the territory of the rich and famous, but is becoming a trend for many more US home owners. Taking the time to landscape the front yard, whether for curbside appeal, added value or simply because of an inspired vision; does take imagination. With the correct focus and plans, the establishment of a front yard landscape design makes it simple for the owner to become involved. Not all home owners just want their yard to look superb, many are inspired to become involved in the creative process, and if not that, at least in the refreshment and care processes. Gardening is good for the soul, this is why a professional consultation, and the establishment of an initial front yard design should be geared to generate ideas and stimulate creativity in the owner. It is your garden, there is no such thing as "hands-off." It is in the eye of the creator that great landscaping lies, so although there are guidelines to be followed, these are not hard, and fast rules cast in stone. Creative input from the home owner is welcomed by Landscape Art although consistency and repetition is a means. Color, different elements of the existing landscape, size, height, symmetrical and asymmetrical balance, and texture are all elements of character. The creation of themes which run through both front and back yard design is vital to creating this consistency, repetition and unity - this is how harmony is achieved. A theme is simple to imagine if the beholder or creator has a passion for, or at the very least something they truly enjoy; something as simple as daisies and butterflies, or frogs, fairies and lilies. Plants which attract butterflies are generally attractive themselves, and if things are kept simple in the beginning, it is easy to expand on any theme.
