Книги з ландшафтного дизайну

Перше дослідження садів і ландшафтів Банні Меллона, написане провідним фахівцем, проілюстроване як новими, так і архівними фотографіями.

Протягом усього свого довгого та славетного життя Рейчел «Банні» Меллон найбільшою пристрастю був садовий дизайн. Вона та її чоловік Пол Меллон, один із найбагатших людей Америки, утримували будинки в Нью-Йорку, Кейп-Коді, Нантакеті, Антигуа, та Аппервіллі, штат Вірджинія, і вона розробила сади в усіх них. Вона також розробила сади для деяких своїх найдорожчих друзів, у тому числі Рожевий сад і Східний сад у Білому домі на прохання президента Кеннеді, а також сади в паризькому будинку та в замку кутюр’є Юбера де Живанші.

Усі ці сади представлені в The Gardens of Bunny Mellon, проілюстрованих власними садовими планами, ескізами й акварелями Меллона. Подібно до одного з пейзажів Меллона, The Gardens of Bunny Mellon повільно розвивалися протягом кількох років, що дозволило талановитому фотографу-пейзажисту Роджеру Фолі зафіксувати Оук-Спрінг, її улюблений дім у Вірджинії, у всі чотири пори року. У книзі також є старовинні фотографії садів Меллон для її будинків у Кейп-Коді, Антигуа та Нью-Йорку, зроблені Горстом, Ааронсом та іншими. Текст письменниці Лінди Джейн Холден базується на розлогих інтерв’ю з Меллоном перед смертю Меллона у віці 103 років у 2014 році.

Concealed, protected and hidden: these are the gardens of Venice, protagonists of the illustrated volume published by Marsilio Arte and edited by Toto Bergamo Rossi, director of the Venetian Heritage association with Marco Bay, landscape architect. The texts signed by the two authors of the book, accompanied by the evocative shots of Marco Valmarana, guide the reader to the discovery of these green gems, privileged places where nature, art and history are intertwined.

The volume is a real journey through the gardens of Venice, from the most sumptuous kept in the noble palaces overlooking the Grand Canal to the more vernacular ones of the islands of the lagoon, collected and presented systematically through indexing by districts. The spring flowering, the summer opulence, the colors of autumn, the fog and the winter frost are captured in a new way in a series of photos full of details and emotions, which reveal the secret Venetian green through the seasons.

Edmund Hollander and Maryanne Connelly, two of New York's most eminent landscape designers, best known for their work in the Hamptons, reveal how plants can add sensuality, texture, structure, and color to any garden

Crisp hornbeam hedges lining a country drive and throwing geometric shadows on the gravel below. Decadent cascades of fragrant wisteria spilling over a stone pergola. Rustling leaves along an allée of delicate crepe myrtle trees. Waving blossoms of roses, sage, and hydrangeas - along a salty shoreline. Edmund Hollander Landscape Architects creates gardens filled with unexpected textures, colors, and sounds meant to appeal to all the senses, inviting us to truly live in the landscape.

This volume presents dozens of gorgeous estate gardens throughout the Northeast, approached thematically; individual sections reveal how components such as gateways, paths, pool terraces, bosques and groves, walls, and borders contribute to lush garden rooms, windblown seaside gardens, calming meadow gardens, intricate formal gardens, and shady tracts of woodland. Over 300 color photographs of beautiful properties in the Hamptons, Connecticut, and upstate New York provide glimpses of the best garden design happening today while breaking down its ideas for the home gardener.

Evocative text by New York Times and Landscape Architecture columnist Anne Raver details how the firm works to envelop visitors in landscapes that feel entirely whole: plantings near architecture create a dynamic entry progression; hardscape features that lead out into a broader garden gradually cede to more natural, living elements; pools are surrounded by gracious swaths of flowers that bloom in sequence as the season progresses to provide privacy for bathers and a sense of quiet seclusion. The ideas presented here will help owners of gardens of every size enjoy their land to the fullest.

About the Authors:

Edmund Hollander and Maryanne Connelly have been involved with environmental planning and design projects for over twenty-five years. Since founding Edmund Hollander Design in 1989, they have designed gardens and landscapes at every scale in the Hamptons, Long Island’s north shore, Connecticut, Westchester, New Jersey, Virginia, the United Kingdom, and the Caribbean. Hollander Design projects have appeared in numerous publications including the New York Times, Architectural Digest, and House Beautiful, as well as in numerous books on landscapes and gardens.

The firm was awarded the 2006 American Society of Landscape Architects Honor Award in residential design and the 2012 Stanford White Award in Landscape Architecture from the Institute for Classical Architecture, and has won numerous awards from the New York chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects as well as the New York and Connecticut chapters of the American Institute of Architects. Hollander was recently elected a Fellow in the American Society of Landscape Architects and was honored with the New York School of Interior Design’s Thomas N. Armstrong III Award in Landscape Design in 2015.

From AD100 landscape architect Edmund Hollander, a collection of spectacular projects celebrating the way we live outdoors, from pastoral retreats to seaside escapes to rooftop refuges.

In this book, Hollander explores the idea of home as the natural surroundings that people live in: a place of living, changing beauty, refuge, and above all, joy, where family and friends gather to create a lifetime of memories.

The book presents homes in the countryside, along the coast, and in town — and features a rich diversity of projects, from country estates to rooftop gardens. Throughout, Hollander discusses essential elements in his firm’s work: the importance of the procession of entry to a house, as well as its context in the landscape; the positioning of plant life and trees; the way people move into and through a property; and the way a garden looks and changes through the seasons. Within each project there are a striking variety of components — outdoor rooms for living and lounging, including oceanside hearths, infinity pools, and verdant dining spaces, as well as pollinator gardens, naturalistic meadows, and tranquil allées. Site maps illuminate each site, and the images capture moments large and small, from views of winding pathways to a vine-covered arbor and a rabbit enjoying flowers at dawn.

Від одного з провідних садових дизайнерів сучасності, відомого своїм гострим поглядом на колір і сучасним романтизмом, вийшов том, який розкриває в тридцяти вишукано посаджених садах десятки ідей щодо того, як адаптувати традиційні елементи садового дизайну до сучасної екологічної естетики.

За свою тридцятирічну кар’єру відомий дизайнер Джо Томпсон здобула визнання завдяки своїм позачасовим посадкам, добре пропорційним садам в англійському стилі, які стали сучасними завдяки непохитній відданості біорізноманіттю — на око це виглядає як більш розкута формальність, ніж англійські сади минулого, хоча й настільки ж романтичні.

Томпсон нагадує нам, що ми ніколи не повністю відповідаємо за те, як ростуть наші сади; інші сили завжди діють, як і має бути, коли ми дозволяємо сталим практикам допомагати нам направляти, а не намагатися домінувати над власними зусиллями природи. Сотні чудових кольорових фотографій і тематичні дослідження окремих садів по розділах, розроблених на різні теми, надихають усіх садівників, які хочуть, щоб їхні сади виглядали не просто добре посадженими, а справді живими та атмосферними.

Її дизайни різноманітні, і замість того, щоб стежити за модою, Джо використовує своє вроджене розуміння місця, щоб гарантувати, що ландшафти, які вона створює, ідеально підходять для їхнього середовища та для її клієнтів. Журнали House & Garden і Country Life змінно входять до списку найкращих дизайнерів, які працюють сьогодні.

Celebrate the stunning interiors and glorious gardens of the Seguine House, New York’s undiscovered architectural gem and only once-working plantation. This gorgeous full-color photographic volume introduces the historic 1838 Greek Revival Joseph H. Seguine House and stables in Prince’s Bay, Staten Island, New York.

Революційна книга Вільяма Робінсона The Wild Garden передбачала автентично натуралістичний підхід до садівництва, який сьогодні є більш важливим, ніж будь-коли.

Вперше опублікований у 1870 році, The Wild Garden переживав багато видань і залишався друкованим протягом усього життя автора (1838–1935). У книзі Робінсон кинув сильний виклик панівному стилю того часу, який покладався на ніжні рослини, розташовані в жорстких геометричних малюнках. Навпаки, Робінсон виступав за використання витривалих, адаптованих до місцевих умов місцевих та екзотичних рослин, розташованих відповідно до місцевих умов вирощування. Бачення Робінсона було натхнене його особистими спостереженнями природних середовищ існування в Європі та Північній Америці, і він втілив свої ідеї на практиці у власному саду в Gravetye Manor у Західному Сассексі.

The Wild Garden був новаторським і надзвичайно впливовим у свій час, і він надзвичайно актуальний для садівників двадцять першого століття та ландшафтних розпорядників, які прагнуть прийняти екологічні методи дизайну та управління.

На додаток до повного оригінального тексту та ілюстрацій із п’ятого видання 1895 року, це розширене видання включає нові розділи та 112 кольорових фотографій фотографа та ландшафтного консультанта, відзначеного нагородами, Ріка Дарка. Його новий матеріал поміщає дике садівництво в сучасний контекст, підкреслюючи важливість Робінсона в еволюції екологічного дизайну та ілюструючи надихаюче розмаїття сучасних диких садів.

Потужна комбінація, представлена ​​тут, робить це нове видання вічної класики важливим ресурсом для всіх, хто хоче знати, як ми прийшли до нашого теперішнього розуміння садів і які можливості чекають попереду. Як відразу стане зрозуміло кожному, хто прочитає цю книгу, термінове повідомлення Робінсона продовжує резонувати.

A sweeping survey of the work of celebrated bon vivant Federico Forquet-whose decades-long design career has embraced couture fashion, elegant interiors, and imaginative gardens, reflecting both the best of Italian style and the dolce vita era of Rome.

Through his long and crowded life, polyglot designer Federico Forquet has been by turns a couturier who learned his craft at Balenciaga's side and whose creations for his eponymous house clothed the best-dressed women of the day; a decorator of interiors of singular style and charm; a discriminating collector of rare and beautiful objects, furnishings, and pictures; and a creator of magical gardens.

For the first time, the many worlds of this creative visionary are brought together in a richly illustrated celebration of style: from imagery of his lavish haute-couture gowns featured in 1960s and '70s Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, and other fashionable publications and worn by trendsetters such as Marella Agnelli, Sophia Loren, and Diana Vreeland to picturesque scenes of verdant Tuscan gardens and opulent, old-world Roman villas and palazzos decorated by Forquet. Accompanied by insightful texts from the design world's authoritative voices, this inspiring and utterly enchanting tome will appeal to readers fascinated by fashion, social history, gardens, interior design, and Italian style.

This visually stunning volume explores Monticello, both house and plantation, with texts that present a current assessment of Jefferson’s cultural contributions to his noteworthy home and the fledgling country.

Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826), third president of the United States, designed his Virginia residence with innovations that were progressive, even unprecedented, in the new world. Six acclaimed arts and cultural luminaries pay homage to Jefferson, citing his work at Monticello as testament to his genius in art, culture, and science, from his adaptation of Palladian architecture, his sweeping vision for landscape design, his experimental gardens, and his passion for French wine and cuisine to his eclectic mix of European and American art and artifacts and the creation of the country’s seminal library. Each writer considers the important role, and the painful reality, of Jefferson’s enslaved workforce, which made his lifestyle and plantation possible. This book, illustrated with superb photography by Miguel Flores-Vianna, is a necessary addition to the libraries of those who love historical architecture and landscape design, art and cultural history, and the lives of prominent Americans.
