- Summary:
- Eine souveräne Darstellung der einflussreichsten und innovativsten Gärten und Parks durch einen der besten Kenner der europäischen Landschaftsarchitektur. In den letzten zehn Jahren hat die Landschaftsarchitektur eine Fülle neuer Interpretationenüber die großen Themen der europäischen Gartenkunst hervorgebracht. Aus der intensiven Beschäftigung mit mehr als 25 einflussreichen Projekten entwirft Udo Weilacher ein Panorama der wichtigsten Tendenzen. Einer der Schwerpunkte, die anhand von Gärten und Parks aus Deutschland, der Schweiz, Frankreich, Spanien, Dänemark, Großbritannien und den Niederlanden behandelt werden, liegt auf der Zusammenarbeit zwischen Landschaftsarchitekten und Architekten. Auch Künstler wie Dani Karavan, der Architekturtheoretiker Charles Jencks und die Amerikanerin Kathryn Gustafson sind mit eigenen europäischen Arbeiten vertreten.
- The past decade has witnessed new interpretations of the great themes of traditional European garden art in profusion. Drawing on his intensive studies of some 30 influential European projects, Udo Weilacher presents a panorama of the most significant developments since the publication of his groundbreaking work Between Landscape Architecture and Land Art in 1996. Examples of the cooperation between landscape designers and architects are given special attention in case studies taken from the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, France, Spain, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland. In addition, US landscape designer Kathryn Gustafson, artists such as Dani Karavan, and the architectural theorist Charles Jencks are featured, along with their European works.
