Michel Desvigne is no doubt the most high-profile French landscape architect working today. He collaborates with architects like Richard Rogers, Norman Foster, Renzo Piano, Ieoh Ming Pei, Herzog and de Meuron, and Jean Nouvel, and his projects are synonymous with a strong strategic and conceptual component, influenced by insights from geography. Traffic projects also play an important role in his work - they underscore the competence of landscape architecture in matters of city planning. This thematic monograph documents the key elements of Desvigne's work in individual chapters: processes of transformation, geography, territory, urban structures, and public squares. Each of these themes is vividly illustrated by selected projects, including the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, the Dallas Center for the Performing Arts, the French Ministry of Culture in Paris, and Keio University in Tokyo. Michel Desvigne kann sicherlich als der international profilierteste französische Landschaftsarchitekt gelten. Er arbeitet mit Architekten wie Richard Rogers, Norman Foster, Renzo Piano, Ieoh Ming Pei, Herzog & de Meuron sowie Jean Nouvel zusammen, und seine Projekte stehen für eine starke strategische und konzeptionelle Komponente, beeinflusst durch Erkenntnisse aus der Geographie. Eine große Rolle spielen zudem Verkehrsprojekte, die die städtebaulich-planerische Kompetenz der Landschaftsarchitektur unterstreichen. Die thematische Monografie dokumentiert die Schlüsselelemente Desvignes Arbeit innerhalb einzelner Kapitel: Transformationsprozesse, Geographie, Territorium, urbane Strukturen und öffentliche Plätze. Die Themen werden durch eine Auswahl von Projekten jeweils anschaulich illustriert, u.a. dem Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, dem Dallas Center for the Performing Arts, dem französischen Kulturministerium in Paris und der Keio University in Tokio.

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.
