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

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

Roberto Burle Marx in Caracas: Parque

landscape as well as his inspired use of the flora & colour of his
native
Brazil. Here in this recent publication we are given a formal analysis
of his
designs whilst exploring the multiple contexts & cultural
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,

offers an approach for future studies of the Venezuelan & Latin

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

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

A.
The vigorous beauty of Goldsworthy's work & its connection to death &

includes Goldsworthy's most recent commission, the Garden of Stones at
the Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York. Eighteen granite boulders,
varying in weight from three to fifteen tons, were hollowed out from
below with a thermal lance & filled with
earth. Oak trees were planted through a small hole in the top of each
stone at a ceremony participated in by several Holocaust survivors.
These trees, not just surviving but growing in an almost impossible
situation, have powerful associations in a garden intended as a
Holocaust Memorial. T&H UK 2004 HB 168pp $A 100.00

The Public Chance: New
Urban Landscapes
The successive industrial crises, which shook up the developed world
beginning
in the 1970s, hid an unexpected reward for cities. This reward
consisted of
huge quantities of freed up emptied territories of opportunity in the centre of the
old
metropolis, vacant lots in clogged urban centres. The contrast between
this
unexpected source of usable urban soil and the increasing lack of space
has
become a temptation that many cities must face. A follow on from the

Reflect
#01 New Commitment in architecture, art & design NAi
Publishers
It has been
noted that there is an increasing level of
discussion in architecture & urban planning, in the visual arts,
photography & design about social issues. Architects, artists &
designers are on a quest for legitimacy for their work & for
socially relevant activities. Professional journals are calling for
reflection & reconsideration of how one carries out one's craft. In
other words, a debate is clearly underway about a new form of
engagement by the design & visual disciplines toward the current
problems of society. As a contribution to this debate, this book offers
a collection of articles & essays by leading authors who hold this
'new commitment' up to the light.Nai
