Afterlife of
Gardens, The Dixon Hunt, J.
Examining the way that gardens have been experienced, rather than their
creation or the designer’s intent. Here we look at the human response
to
gardens, from Renaissance sites to Baroque creations to modern motorway
landscaes. Describing how this 'afterlife' of gardens, as they are
understood
& experienced by many generations, is often 'redesigned' in
visitors'
imaginative & cultural responses. Questions are raised about the
preservation of historical sites, as well as providing lessons for the
contemporary designer. This book will interest all who have a
professional
interest in gardens, as well as the wide general audience for gardens
&
landscapes of past & present. Reaktion Books UK 2004 HB 254pp$A79.95

Burle Marx: The Lyrical
Landscape Montero, Marta Iris
(Foreword by Martha Schwartz)
Roberto Burle Marx was
unquestionably one of the most influential
landscape and garden designers of the twentieth century. His sweeping
forms and painterly approach to planting were revolutionary when they
first came to public attention in the 1930's, and many designs today
owe his vision a great debt. At a time when landscape design is more
lively and important than ever, this tribute to a master of popular
modern design is destined to inspire gardens, landscapes and outdoor
spaces in same way it will inspire the reader of the finely written
text.T&H UK 2001 HB 208pp

conditions that
give rise to his vision for the landscape. The only in-depth study of
this
major site, a two-hundred-acre urban park built between 1956 &1961,

Oaks: Garden into

The romantic but disciplined design of Dumbarton Oaks (1920 –1965),

series of small individual terraces & winding walkways, reflects
the
character of designer Mildred Bliss. The founders both husband &
wife were
important American philanthropists; the garden was a culmination
developed
between Mildred Bliss & several designers, the most significant of
whom was
the American landscape designer Beatrix Farrand. Serene formality,
jubilant
opulence & feelings of intimacy & spontaneity are all present
in the
garden. With contemporary issues like public/private & utilitarian
areas
coexisting within the integrated whole, Dumbarton Oaks sits within one
of the most

Speculation, The
Charles Jencks
Telling the
story of one of the most original & important gardens of the 21st
Century, created by the internationally celebrated architectural critic

larger project, an ongoing speculation on the basic elements of nature.
Witty, unusual, & questioning, this book is full of ideas &
games, associations & memories. Jencks weaves together his personal
account of the gardens creation & an investigation into the
revelations of recent science, using landscape & design to shed
light on the new ways we can now conceive of the universe.
