Brazilian Roberto Burle Marx was indisputably one of the greatest garden and landscape architects of the twentieth century. His distinctive style, incorporating bold, abstract patterns and native flora, still influences garden and landscape projects around the world. In Brazil, he left a legacy of contemporary designers whose work is scarcely known outside the country – until now.

Presented with spectacular photographs of over thirty new gardens and landscapes across the country, from the coast to the hills, from the cities to the jungle, New Brazilian Gardens offers an exciting overview of a wealth of creative designers working in idioms and styles that are varied and individual, while acknowledging the genius of Burle Marx.

Dazzling swimming pools, serene urban escapes, stark minimalist hardscaping or exuberant planting – the projects illustrate the great diversity of Brazil’s gardens today, but also incorporate ideas that can be translated to any country.

Roberto Silva first considers the evolution of the Brazilian garden since Colonial times, then gardens are grouped into sections, Water, Planting, Abstraction and Sculpture, with each project presented in detail, including descriptions with the designer’s own plans, drawings and plant lists.

New Brazilian Gardens is for professional gardeners, amateurs and garden lovers everywhere.

NEW Environment & Landscape Annual
The series introduce a variety of selected completed works to provide a general view of the present landscape architecture.

Ever since human beings discovered how to control the growth of plants, the garden has been a place in which they have found peace, enjoyed playing, cemented social relationships and revelled in sensory pleasure. In the garden we are communing nature and are experimenting with design and architecture. In times of increasing shortage of space but the concomitant desideratum for an oasis of calmness, only creativity will serve this purpose. new garden design keeps ready with innovative solutions and amazed with enthralling interpretations.

From vegetable and succulent gardens to sculpture and rose gardens to mountain and waterfront gardens, New Garden Design covers a range of interpretations incorporating walls, fountains, pavilions, canals, pools, terraces and groves in unexpected ways. The resulting new garden is a pleasure garden vested with spiritual, symbolic and ecological intent. A modernist interpretation of Roman stone furniture and freestanding walls punctuate the space behind a 1970s ranch house. A home designed by Bernard Maybeck is accented with a freehand composition of urns, cement pipes and rusty objects, as well as over a thousand species of plants. A grove of olive trees underplanted with rosemary and lavender fields gives personality to two acres surrounding a house designed by modernist Mexican architect Ricardo Legorreta.

Garden ideas spring from many sources, and new gardens today, abstract in design and with seemingly no connection to the formalities of a paradise garden or its Persian, Indian or Greco-Roman and Mediterranean antecedents, echoes them all. New Garden Design aims to show how many ancient lessons haven't been forgotten. These gardens are fertile ground for creation, perception and meditation.

Provence today is a paradise for garden makers, a natural haven where designers from all over the world mingle with homegrown family gardeners and local horticulturists. Few places have seen as many contemporary garden creations, in as wide a variety: from picturesque to minimalist, private to public, suburban plot to rural field, miniature landscape to vast environment. New Gardens in ProvenceV features 30 of the most extraordinary recent gardens in this remarkable region. Written by Louisa Jones, a specialist in Provencal food and culture and author of the now-classic Gardens in Provence, this breathtaking book visits new gardens along the Côte d’Azur, in Marseilles, Saint-Rémy, and Aix, and throughout the gorgeous countryside of southeastern France. Almost 300 stunning photographs take us behind the garden gate to experience the beauty of meadow and woodland tableaux, magnificent stone terracing, formal topiary arrangements, lush flowerbeds, and even a mountainside project by artist Andy Goldsworthy.

While these man-made landscapes may reflect international trends in garden design, they never lose their harmony with the countryside. As this beautiful book demonstrates, today’s gardens are not only a reflection of the region’s “sense of place,” but also an integral part of the Provencal art de vivre.

Landscape architecture today is a broad range of very different uses of free spaces: sometimes strict, sometimes playful, powerful or reserved, provocative or almost unnoticeable. The title reflects the aesthetic and also ecological effects of landscape architecture upon public spaces. The one thing all the landscape architects whose projects are in the book have in common is that they all create spaces for people. The title New Landscape Architecture that is published in the series Architecture in Focus presents a wide range of contemporary projects among these are landscape parks and horticultural shows, gardens and courtyards, squares and promenades, as well as open spaces for health, recreation and public life. The publication provides an overview of eighty ways of structuring and designing open spaces and illustrates these projects by means of texts, photographs, plans and drawings.

Landscape architecture runs the gamut of very different presentations of free spaces: sometimes strict, sometimes playful, powerful or reserved, provocative or almost unnoticeable. It comprises spacious natural and cultural landscapes, peaceful, almost intimate inner courtyards, town squares and parks, and installations outside buildings where people live and work. New Landscape Architecture reflects on the aesthetic and ecological effects of landscape architecture on public spaces. The publication provides an overview of more than one hundred ways of structuring free spaces from the German speaking countries, such as the outdoor installations of the Allianz Arena in Munich, the Potsdamer Platz in Berlin, the Landesgartenschau 2006 (2006 State Horticulture Show) in Wernigerode and the redesigned lake basin in Zurich. Detailed text, photographs, plans, and drawings provide insights into each project. The one thing all these projects have in common is that they create and structure free spaces as spaces for people to live in.

The patio is an outdoor space situated within a house that can have a number of uses, although in the past it served merely as a distributor of space of for ventilating and illuminating the parts furthers away from the facade with natural light. Nowadays, architets have rethought this space and have adapted it to new uses, even in regions with a cool climate and less tradition of living outdoors. The sensation of spaciousness and good lighting acquired by a home giving on to a patio, however small, is one of the reasons why the latter has become more widespread. The patio can also serve to seperate the daytime area from the night-time one, or ensure that an outdoor space can be enjoyed free from prying eyes. So, the patio has become one more room in a house, standing out from the others through its lack of roof and its primary function as a place intended for relaxtion.

As a filter that smoothly merges interior and exterior, terraces have become one of the most important complemantary spaces in today's contemporary house. Whether cantilevered, open or covered, as a wide extension of the ground floor or as roof gardens in residential buildings, terraces maximise the sense of space by partially seizing outdoor areas. This book is a showcase of the multiple design possibilities offered by these privileged spaces; an entertaining, social and contemplative place that improves the quality of life in every home.

Le vocabulaire du bois est utilisé aussi bien par les charpentiers que par les menuisiers et les ébénistes. Il avait déjà été étudié et présenté par J.-Justin Storck au début du XXe siècle, mais il évolue constamment. Goerges Cartannaz nous présente ainsi les termes techniques et les matériaux modernes, les essences exotiques disponibles de nos jours, sans oublier le vocabulaire indémodable du bois. Il s’appuie sur de très nombreux schémas. Une longue bibliographie complète le dictionnaire.

With increased attention to sustainability and environmental concerns, landscape architects now lead teams of urban planners and architects in developing new outdoor space and reconfiguring existing designs. As the preeminent landscape architecture firm in the United States, Olin is at the forefront of this movement with completed projects across the country and in Europe. The firm was awarded the gold medal of the American Society of Landscape Architects, the profession's highest honor, in 2006.

Well-known for the restorations of Bryant Park behind the New York Public Library and the landscape of the Washington Monument, Olin is also recognized for the dramatic transformation of a derelict, brownfield site into the vibrant Canary Wharf, now the financial center for all Europe, and for the landscape design of the J. Paul Getty Center in Los Angeles and Columbus Circle in New York. The firm has also designed sculpture gardens for the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and the Toledo Museum of Art in Toledo, Ohio.

In dialogues with noted colleagues and collaborators, each of the partners articulates a personal vision and philosophy of landscape and design. Laurie Olin, founding partner, speaks with the poet Michael Palmer, while Susan Weiler reflects on her collaboration with artist Jenny Holzer. Other dialogue participants are Kim Tripp, former director of the New York Botanical Garden; Niall Kirkwood, chair of the landscape architecture department at Harvard; Sean Timmons, founder of Simmons Design Engineering; and Charles Waldheim, a leading proponent of landscape urbanism. Taken together, these conversations provide a unique window into the creative process.
