Abstract

"This groundbreaking work provides an overview of the whole creative realm of contemporary landscape architecture and open space design. Every aspect of the creation and production of these public and private spaces is thematized and elucidated. These spaces encompass an enormous variety, ranging from classic garden design and golf courses to greened façades, from guerrilla gardening and pedestrian zones to large-scale ecological interventions."--Back cover.

Abstract

Landscape architect Sven-Ingvar Andersson is renowned for his prize-winning design for Parc de la Villete in Paris, as well as his renovation of Amsterdam’s Museum Square and a new vision for Karlsplatz in Vienna. Besides his legacy of numerous projects in Denmark and abroad, Andersson devoted much of his career to being an inspiring educator. His eccentric private garden is regarded as one of the highlights of international garden design, and his imaginary letters are perhaps even more unique. Edited by Lodewijk Wiegersma, this book explores the late Andersson’s oeuvre by revisiting ten of his best works, and includes a previously unpublished interview.

Abstract

A Landscape Inventory is a richly illustrated and elegantly designed manifesto on landscape experimentation, the work of the internationally renowned architect, Michel Desvigne. As an "anti-monograph," this publication is not comprehensive and projects are not discussed in depth. Instead, it features a composite view of elements such as tree pattern and density across scales, from diminutive urban courtyard to territory, to reveal the weight of planting and material choices in shaping landscapes, irrespective of design language. Highly idiosyncratic, A Landscape Inventory offers a broader reflection on how to present and represent landscapes, organized in two parts - equally casual and purposeful. The first discusses Desvigne's trajectory, influences, and design method; the second is an inventory of elements, a contact sheet of details to be assembled and reconfigured without prescribed order. Both focused and panoramic, Desvigne's antipathy for "recognizable design" is revealed with his ambition to resist political shifts and master planning with a panoply of landscape strategies such as pilot, demonstration garden, and prototype. Intended to be of great interest to those concerned with the shaping of the environment, this publication can be used as a thesaurus of landscape components - a quick reference to trigger the design imagination of students and other curious individuals.

Abstract

Conceived in close collaboration with the artist, this survey tracks almost three decades of Eliasson's artistic practice - including works completed in 2018. Hundreds of illustrations are introduced by a perceptive essay by art historian Michelle Kuo and an interview with Eliasson. The book provides an unparalleled overview of his creative output, which speaks to an astonishingly varied audience, from large-scale installations such as 'The weather project', which drew over two million visitors to London's Tate Modern in 2003-4, to smaller, more delicate works, such as 'watercolours', 'compasses', and 'glass works'. Views of his dynamic studio in Berlin round out the picture.
