Книги з ландшафтного дизайну

This book is dedicated to unusual landscapes and architecture from around the world. Often amusing and sometimes downright bizarre, the buildings featured in this book possess both a quirky sense of fun as well as being environmentally friendly. Each chapter deals with a different aspect of modern architecture and also shows how each 'amusing' structure has been specifically designed to be sustainable and ecologically sound. "The Landscape Series" is a compilation of volumes featuring projects that show a strong ecological conscience and innovation in working with the landscape in order to produce architectural structures that are both beautiful and sustainable.

A comparison between the Italian and Japanese experience in terms of architecture and landscape. This book presents numerous critical insights, examples of projects and buildings, and illustrated essays by Italian and Japanese architects, such as Toyo Ito, Antonio Citterio, Atelier Bow Wow, Fumihiko Maki, Kengo Kuma, Moses Ricci, Franco Purini, Paolo Desideri among others. This publication focuses both on the landscape policies and the comparison among different landscapes. Including a photographic atlas, the book concludes with an overview of projects under the subject of "Design of sensitive landscape " brought by three Italian schools of architecture and three Italian-Japanese comparisons.

The Art of the Japanese Garden traces the development and blending of gardening traditions, as well as the inclusion of new features as gardening reached new heights of sophistication on Japanese soil. The book features a number of the most notable gardens in Japan, including graveled courtyards, early aristocratic gardens, esoteric and paradise gardens, Zen gardens, warrior gardens, tea gardens and stroll gardens.

In this exquisitely lush volume, lifestyle legend Carolyne Roehm celebrates her gardens as outdoor living rooms, revealing how she chooses the plants, flowers, and layouts; how she entertains guests with gorgeous table settings and breathtaking arrangements; and how she savors the hours among the blooms.

As Carolyne Roehm says, " It s as simple as this: a garden is like love...a place you venture into with hope, energy, excitement, enchantment, and the greatest of expectations."

For Roehm, the garden has always been more than a canvas for beauty. A place where her devoted efforts bear glorious results, the garden is not only a reflection of what has inspired Roehm, but also a font of inspiration from which she draws -- for her astonishingly lovely arrangements, her gracious dinner parties, and her new passion for interpreting her flowers in vibrant watercolor paintings.

Each of the gardens at her historic Connecticut home, Weatherstone, has been lovingly crafted to serve as an outdoor living room, where the hours may be passed at work, alone, or enjoyed with company. In the Parterre Gardens bordering the south side of the home, Roehm created a fantasy of snow in spring with white tulips and Sargentina crabapple trees. All of the varietals in her Rose Garden were selected for their pulchritude and divine scent, as well as for their ability to bloom twice to satisfy her insatiable thirst for roses. And when the stream through her property offered only an unsatisfying trickle, Roehm replaced it with a river of hostas, primula, bleeding hearts, and rodgersia that sweeps through her Shade Garden.

As Roehm accompanies us on the first-ever tour of these marvels, she shares witty and candid stories of the unexpected triumphs and the sometimes-crushing defeats. And always, there is her desire to return to the garden to tend, to mend, or to plant anew.

A garden is like love, Roehm claims, and indeed, this lavishly illustrated volume is a testament to an enduring, complex, unquestionably personal, and deeply passionate amour.

Landscape architecture is comprised of a wide and multifaceted range of very diverse outdoor space designs – that can be stern or playful, shrill or romantic, straightforward or low-key. As their main ‘building materials’ are trees and shrubs, flowers and grass, landscape architecture projects are in a constant state of flux. They range from expansive natural and cultivated landscapes, via picturesque front yards and courtyards, spectacular greened façades and roofs, up to innovative outdoor designs that nearly or completely make do without any vegetation at all. 

All works featured in the Atlas of World Landscape Architecture share the fact that they constitute and provide ecologically and socially intact living environments for human beings.

Атлас мировой ландшафтной архитектуры представляет собой обширное и многогранное собрание различных проектов ландшафтного обустройства пространства. Эти проекты могут быть строгими или игривыми, кричащими или романтическими, откровенными или сдержанными. Поскольку основными «строительными материалами», используемыми при реализации этих проектов, являются деревья и кустарники, трава и цветы, объекты ландшафтной архитектуры подвержены постоянным изменениям.

Все эти проекты находятся в диапазоне, включающем как обширные природные территории и живописные наружные и внутренние дворы, так и красочные озелененные фасады и крыши, а также новаторские произведения под открытым небом, авторы которых полностью или почти полностью обошлись без использования каких-либо растений.

Все работы, представленные в Атласе мировой ландшафтной архитектуры, объединяет тот факт, что они создают и обеспечивают экологически и социально устойчивые условия для жизни людей.

Contemporary garden design has embraced the latest thinking in science and materials, architecture and product design – redefining the border between nature and the man-made.

One indication of the rise in popularity – and controversy – of these gardens has been the growing number of conceptual garden festivals, which have become the premier international showcases for new ideas.

Avant Gardeners presents the fifty most exciting and innovative contemporary garden- and landscape-design practices from around the world, profiling the work of each designer through informative texts, photographs and plans.

Topical essays explore the underlying principles, and show how a rising generation has rejected the tradition of Western garden design, favouring instead the influences of Modernism, Postmodernism, Pop Art and Land Art.

Beatrix Farrand: Private Gardens, Public Landscapes presents the life and work of one of the foremost landscape designers of the early 1900s.

Born into a prominent New York family (she was the niece of Edith Wharton), Farrand eschewed the traditional social life of the Gilded Age to pursue her passion for landscape and plants. Many of her clients were members of the highest echelon of society with estates in Newport, the Berkshires, and Maine, but Farrand ultimately became a consultant for university campuses, including Yale and Princeton, and for public gardens, including the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden and the Rose Garden at The New York Botanical Garden. Perhaps her best-known work is the extensive garden at Dumbarton Oaks, originally a private residence and now a research institute of Harvard University.

Deeply influenced by the English landscape designer Gertrude Jekyll, Farrand was known for broad expanses of lawn with deep swaths of borders planted in a subtle palette of foliage and flowers. Her gardens have been photographed at their peak especially for this book, and these lush illustrations are complemented by beautiful watercolor wash renderings of her designs, now preserved at the library of the University of California at Berkeley.

What has your perfect green lawn done for you lately? Is it really worth the time, effort, and resources you lavish on it? Armed with encouragement, inspiration, and cutting-edge advice from award-winning author Evelyn Hadden, you can liberate yourself at last!

In this ultimate guide to rethinking your yard, Hadden showcases dozens of inspiring, eco-friendly alternatives to that demanding (and dare we say boring?) green turf. Trade your lawn for a lively prairie or replace it with a runoff-reducing rain garden. Swap it for an interactive adventure garden or convert it to a low-maintenance living carpet.

With Beautiful No-Mow Yards, you can transform your lawn into a livable garden and bring nature's beauty into your life!
