John Brooke

    John Brookes was a seminal garden and landscape designer who brought modernist and abstract principles to garden design. His approach prioritized the needs of occupants over traditional, labor-intensive garden concepts, fundamentally shifting the field. Emerging during Britain's mid-century design boom, Brookes's influential work shaped thousands of gardens and lectured globally. His extensive writings, translated into numerous languages, further cemented his legacy as a transformative figure in landscape architecture.
