Restposten an Weltbild und Fourier verkauft! Eine Flut ungewöhnlicher Entwürfe und Projekte für Gärten und Landschaften empfängt den Leser. Sie provozieren den Betrachter und öffnen ihm die Augen für eine längst begonnene Entwicklung in der Garten- und Landschaftsarchitektur, die dem beliebigen Design durchdachte und ästhetische Gestaltungslösungen entgegensetzt. Projekte namhafter Gartenarchitekten aus den USA, Frankreich, Deutschland, Spanien, Neuseeland und Brasilien sowie anderen Ländern zeigen, wie vielfältig die Gärten von morgen sein können. Das Buch ist ein Plädoyer für den unkonventionellen Umgang mit Pflanzen, Materialien, Formen und Farben. Die Bilder und Texte inspirieren zur eigenen Gestaltung anregender Gärten und Landschaften.
How would you describe the garden of your dreams? Gordon Taylor and Guy Cooper have found more than 150 gardens that could be called visionary, magical, beautiful, mysterious, witty, and bizarre. They are located in countries as diverse as Britain, the United States, France, Germany, Canada, Belgium, Italy, Mexico, and Australia. Some are based on myths and allegories from the ancient world; others grew out of a passion for a single type of plant. Some reflect high culture; others are folksy or kitsch. Ideas have taken on a new life as extravagant topiaries in Ecuador, a formal Renaissance garden in France, giant wooden hands rising from a small hillside garden in California, and a garden of 1500 roses in Somerset planted in order of their introduction into western Europe. Each of these gardens is an extraordinary example of a person's innermost, all-consuming fantasy come to life. 192 pages, 165 color illus., 9 x 11. NEW IN PAPERBACK
This is a collection of photographs of over 100 of the buildings in the care of the Landmark Trust. Each building is a gem, delicately restored and furnished to retain the aura of age and, in many cases, the eccentricity of its origins.
