The specificity of regional forests suggests much about the prospect of non-extractive building design: building that tends and mends its terrestrial basis rather than takes, makes, and breaks it. How might we design and build in a non-extractive manner?

To address that evolutionary question this book considers the recursive relationship between forests and timber building. It puts the forest first and offers a detailed immersion into forest history, forest stand dynamics, forest ecology, forest-building carbon dynamics, and possible future forest trajectories as the pretext for thinking about timber building technics. The specificity of regional forests suggests much about the prospect of non-extractive building design: building that tends and mends its terrestrial basis rather than takes, makes, and breaks it. Building activity can augment and improve forest conditions as an instance of regenerative design and as a path towards reconciliation, but only if conceived, valued, and practiced in ways distinct from normative design and construction practices.

The future should no longer be a colony of present design practices that treat building as an art and science of extraction. By putting the forest first its conception of timber building technics, this book develops a more regenerative approach to the terrestrial relations of forest-building.

De Atlas van tuindorpen in Nederland laat zien hoe dit ideaal vorm kreeg in de vooroorlogse bouwpraktijk. Van Philipsdorp in Eindhoven tot ’t Lansink in Hengelo, van de mijnkoloniën in Limburg tot de tuinsteden van Amsterdam-Noord, van Agnetapark in Delft tot Dudoks Tuinstad Hilversum.

Creating gardens in harmony with their environment is a key aspect of garden design today. Nowhere is this more apparent than in gardens created on our coastlines, whether that be atop a rocky Mediterranean cliffside, tucked in a sheltered bay on Britain’s south coast, or on the edge of a sandy beach in Australia. Rooted in their location and offering unforgettable water views, coastal gardens embody an atmosphere of tranquillity, beauty, and an intenseconnection with nature.

The Coastal Garden invites readers to explore 48 extraordinary private gardens set along the world’s most iconic coastlines. These verdant spaces represent a broad variety of terrains, climates, and garden styles – from Bernard Trainor’s design for a surfing family, overlooking the waves in sunny California, to Ulf Nordfjell’s thoughtful, rambling garden on the southern coast of Sweden.

The gardens address one of four different contexts for coastal environments: gardens atop rocky cliffs, planting for resiliency, framing ocean views, and gardens on the beach. The four chapters open with an exploratory text on the theme by writer and editor Sorrel Everton. Each garden feature is then brought to life through striking, large-scale color photographs and a short informative text, also written by Everton. Descriptive image captions provide further context, including planting information and special design details.

Along with in-depth garden features, an introduction by acclaimed plantsman and designer Nigel Dunnett offers insights into both the natural obstacles and incredible benefits of coastal gardens. A garden directory at the back, organized geographically, allows for easy reference.

OJB Landscape Architecture challenges the conventional boundaries of its field, emphasizing placemaking as a mechanism for healing, community-building, and celebration. At its core, the award-winning firm believes that landscape is a social and collective tool for integration, reclamation, and healing. This principle guides all of the firm’s projects across sectors, from its designs deepening our relationship to nature, such as public parks, and sites promoting restorative healthcare, such as campuses for hospitals and wellness centers, to large-scale urban landscapes conceived to reconnect and revitalize communities, such as the acclaimed RiverFront in Omaha and the other multi-project narratives in which landscapes connect and build on each other over several years to create thoughtfully realized and impactful environments.

In this new, expanded edition of OJB’s debut monograph, the pioneering firm shares its remarkable and meaningful work- and the philosophy that drives it – through fifteen projects of varied typologies across the United States. Beautifully illustrated with more than 200 color photographs, Envisioning Landscapes also includes a new foreword by The Dallas Morning News architecture critic Mark Lamster.

Step outside and follow the quiet charm of cottagecore gardens across landscapes big and small: from expansive countryside plots to village backyards and tucked-away city refuges. Courtyards, edible beds, meadows, and intimate planted corners follow rhythms shaped more by time and care than by strict design rules. Soft borders, self-seeded paths, and textured, timeworn details reveal gardens that evolve with the people who tend them.

Celebrating a shift toward slower, more intentional living, this book explores how the garden becomes refuge, resource, and an ever-growing extension of home.

Zo krijgen sleetse pleinen en kantoorgebieden – soms met radicale ingrepen – een tweede leven. Verrassende tuinrichtingen en nieuwe beplantingsconcepten zorgen voor groene oases in de stad. En het delen van ruimtes en voorzieningen leidt niet alleen tot ruimtewinst, maar zorgt ook voor en sociaal samenhangende woongemeenschappen.

Water speelt een cruciale rol, bij de transities in het landelijk gebied, maar ook bij de herinrichting van stadscentra waar oude waterlopen op een eigentijdse manier worden hersteld. Door oog te hebben voor erfgoed en landschap wint de stedelijke compositie aan kwaliteit.

De projecten in dit jaarboek zijn gekozen door een onafhankelijke commissie van vakgenoten. De redactie van tijdschrift Blauwe Kamer stelde het boek samen en belicht in interviews en essays actuele thema’s.

We have collected twelve such projects and placed them along an imaginary river that rises in the mountains of central Europe and then flows through Canada, the United States, Thailand, and Portugal before emptying into the Dutch delta. 
The issue is an homage to the river, as exquisite as she is, wherever her course may lead, from source to estuary.

Beautifully designed and illustrated, The Contemporary Garden celebrates each garden with a gorgeous large-format image and insightful description. Readers will discover the work of renowned garden designers and landscape architects, such as Fiona Brockhoff, Dan Pearson, Sarah Price, and Bernard Trainor, alongside projects by rising stars and owner-makers.

Organized alphabetically by designer or studio name, the book’s pages reveal a striking range of contemporary garden styles – naturalistic, community, wild, urban, botanical, dry, topiary, minimalist, edible, flower, and more – demonstrating how our evolving stylistic and horticultural aesthetic fosters an increasingly strong connection with the natural world.

Both an inspirational resource and an authoritative reference, The Contemporary Garden will delight professional, recreational, and armchair gardeners of all ages.

Anne Geene’s quest for specimens with various types of appearances and deformations gives the book a teratological dimension. In her work, the photograph itself is rarely the focus. Taken out of context, the pictures are often no more than a registration of an inconspicuous fact. This means that her art is about collection, about the image in relation to other images and the ability to creates new ones by merging and arranging them. Enjoy an expedition through all of the botanical micro- and macrocosms.

Wim Peeters legt haarfijn uit waarom bomen in de stad zo belangrijk zijn, welke elementen belangrijk zijn bij het aanplanten van bomen, hoe men omgaat met veterane bomen in de stedelijke omgeving, en hoe men inspraak van burgers kan verzoenen met boombeheer. Maar ook hoe bomen in jouw en mijn tuin een fundamentele bijdrage leveren aan het ingewikkelde ecosysteem van onze steden.

‘Bomen hebben een geheugen. Ze bewaren de geschiedenis, en ze vertellen altijd de waarheid.’
– Valerie Trouet

Een boom vertelt meer dan je denkt. Samen met wetenschappers van over de hele wereld neemt Valerie Trouet je in dit prachtig geïllustreerde boek mee op een fascinerende reis door de tijd aan de hand van jaarringen.
Ze ontrafelen de verhalen van tien bijzondere oerbomen, van de reuzensequoia in Californië en de kauriboom in Nieuw-Zeeland tot de oeroude zomereik in West-Europa. Elke boom vertelt over het klimaat waarin hij groeide, de natuurrampen die hij overleefde en de mensen waarmee hij eeuwenlang in wisselwerking leefde.

In In de ban van de jaarring brengen elf topwetenschappers een ode aan de kracht, wijsheid en veerkracht van bomen. Ze vertellen niet alleen hun eigen verhalen, maar tonen je ook wat bomen ons vertellen over het verleden, het heden en de toekomst van onze aarde.

Gardens Illustrated is today’s most popular gardening periodical, thanks to its lavishly photographed features on contemporary, forward-thinking gardens that focus on irresistible plants and clever designs. Through these gardens, each selected by the magazine’s editors for a truly exceptional trait, readers will visit the best new gardens from the United States, United Kingdom, and around the world. The scales range from small city spaces aiming to bring biodiversity deep into the built environment to country estates photographed with a new lens on ecology and sustainability, and were created by today’s top garden designers, including Andrea Cochran, Arabella Lennox-Boyd, Peter Korn, Dan Pearson, Andy Salter, Tom Stuart-Smith, Andy Sturgeon, Urquhart & Hunt, and Keith Wiley.

From loose, waving gardens that appear as unexpected mini meadows and support wildlife in small urban backyards to pleached hornbeams that act as a living fence to distinguish the borders of a lush patio from the landscape beyond and gardens that show the best new ideas for hardscape, pathways, fountains, and pergolas, readers will take away hundreds of ideas for incorporating successful plant combinations and other design elements into their own home gardens. Text by the best garden writers relays plenty of plant identification information, tips for successful growth, and most important, provides insight into how these top designers conceived of and implemented the ideas that make each and every featured garden a place full of memorable atmosphere, charm, and relaxation.

This approach, pioneered by architects such as Richard Neutra, Rudolph Schindler, and Frank Lloyd Wright, was adopted by Stephan Maria Lang, integrating his architectural designs into naturally crafted landscapes. Throughout his career, Lang has produced numerous remarkable works, showcasing a perfect blend of architectural elegance and natural beauty.

The Modern Japanese Garden investigates the relationship between nature and modernity. Roughly divided between pre- and post-1945 Japanese garden design, it examines post-war shifts in attitudes towards the contemporary garden as they move from status symbols and expressions of influence to spaces of healing and mediation. A short history of the Japanese garden, from pre-Shinto stone arrangements to the last years of the nineteenth century, sits alongside analysis of the contemporary gardens of Japan’s corporate buildings, museums, hotels and public spaces.

Garden profiles offer a comprehensive overview of the most iconic and influential gardens in Japan, and include a mix of landscape- and smaller-scale gardens, many just recently completed. Interspersed throughout are short interludes, covering everything from the ancient garden of Ryoan-ji in Kyoto to the aesthetic lexicon of Japanese garden design, while essays from a number of high-profile contributors meditate on particular themes.

Intended for both professional and general readers with an interest in landscape design and Japan’s contemporary lifestyle, this is the definitive sourcebook on the subject.

An outstanding example of Japanese architecture, Katsura has inspired countless architects from Bruno Taut and Le Corbusier to Tadao Ando and Kenzo Tange, and is often considered a precursor of Modernist tendencies. Now available in a new format, Katsura Imperial Villa offers an in-depth exploration of the seventeenth-century palace in Kyoto, Japan through detailed drawings and historical analysis. The extensive selection of maps, drawings, and photographs make this book an indispensable reference work and offer unprecedented access to this beautiful palace.

But under the leadership of Mayor Anne Hidalgo, a veritable green revolution is currently under way in the French capital. In many streets, the car is disappearing, and the pedestrian is being given space – now surrounded by plants and trees. On squares and traffic circles, urban forests are rapidly being planted, old train routes are being transformed into long strips of parkland, the equally famous and infamous Periferique is being covered over in strategic places. Not to mention Paris’ tourist hotspots, such as the environments of the Notre Dame, the Eiffel Tower, the Champs Élysées and the banks of the Seine. All these places are being redeveloped and given a green makeover.

In this book, we dive into more than 50 projects and take stock. We speak with ecologists, landscape designers and many other experts. Can Paris transform itself into the climate-resilient city of the future, even setting an example for other cities? You’ll soon read about it in the latest edition of ‘scape, the international magazine for landscape architecture and urban planning.

Across the spring and summer seasons of 1919 and 1920, Swedish artist Hilma af Klint (1862-1944) engaged in a period of intense observation of nature, venturing into forests and fields and drawing the flowers she found there. The resulting 46 sheets comprise her Nature Studies portfolio, recently acquired by the Museum of Modern Art, New York. In pencil and jewel-toned watercolor, af Klint juxtaposed exquisitely rendered blossoms with enigmatic diagrams: a blooming sunflower is echoed by nested circles; lily of the valley is joined by a colorful checkerboard; catsfoot is set against a pair of mirrored spirals. Together, these two modes―representational and abstract―demonstrate the artist’s belief that close observation of nature reveals “what stands behind the flowers”: ineffable aspects of the human character.
Published in conjunction with the first public exhibition of this rare portfolio, Hilma af Klint: What Stands Behind the Flowers presents the drawings alongside contextualizing artworks and translations of the artist’s previously unpublished writings. An overview essay by curator Jodi Hauptman explores af Klint’s portfolio and the circumstances of its creation; texts by Ewa Lajer-Burcharth, Laura Neufeld and Lena Struwe unpack the imagery, materiality and botanical knowledge behind these works.

Van Bogotá tot Zwolle, van Kopenhagen tot Rotterdam: overal zoeken steden naar manieren om prettiger, gezonder en socialer te worden. Dit boek brengt die ideeën samen en laat zien wat er gebeurt als je niet het verkeer, de regels of het geld centraal zet, maar de mens en de natuur. Voor ontwerpers, beleidsmakers en iedereen die zich afvraagt hoe de stad fijner kan.

Sommigen noemen hun werk rebels, voor henzelf is het natuurlijk. Met diverse planten, vloeiende lijnen en natuurlijke materialen creëren ze het liefst van al groene oases in de stad, in de vorm van kleinschalige ontwerpen voor tuinen op daken en in patio’s. Daar kan de natuur ongetemd haar gang gaan dankzij doordachte keuzes, op basis van jarenlange ervaring. Voor dit boek maakten ze een zorgvuldige selectie van tuinen die ze de voorbije jaren hebben gerealiseerd — inspirerende voorbeelden van de wilde harmonie waar Bart en Pieter voor staan.

Hun missie is om een tegenwicht te bieden aan het hoge tempo en het beton van het stadsleven door ruimte te creëren voor de natuur en meer biodiversiteit in onze omgeving te brengen.

From the outset, the concept developed by Stefano Boeri for a residential building in 2004 proved to be forward-looking as it anticipated the new frontiers of urban living. Ten years after its inauguration, the Bosco Verticale (Vertical Forest) has kept all its promises and launched a new way of imagining contemporary cities.

This book celebrates an architectural work that has become the symbol of a renewed collective sensibility toward care for the environment and the plant world. Edited by Stefano Boeri Architetti, it traces its entire history. “The Bosco Verticale is one of the few ‘living’ buildings whose life is still followed ten years later.” This was the inspiration behind the editorial structure of the volume, which is formed of three sections that evoke the growth of a tree: roots, trunk, and branches and leaves.

The various texts contributed by international authors and scholars are accompanied by drawings, sketches, and photographs of the construction site and the building that changes over the course of the seasons and years. The material comes from the archives of Studio Boeri Architetti and photo shoots that document the evolution of the project over the years. It features a photographic portfolio by Iwan Baan made specifically for the book, which also includes photos of the area from above and photos of the apartments that frame the city, filtered by the leaves of trees and plants.

A collaboration between the Singapore-ETH Centre, SUTD, and ETH Zurich, the publication provides in-depth analyses of international case studies, including one-north in Singapore, King’s Cross in London, and Quayside in Toronto. It also explores urban green development within Zurich’s existing fabric.

For centuries, architecture has sought to control and isolate us from the natural world, engineering environments that prioritize human comfort over ecological collaboration. This publication propose a new paradigm: rather than resisting nature, can we design with it?

For more than four decades, Craig Bergmann has been recognized for intertwining design, horticulture, and architecture, establishing a true dialogue between the garden and the architectural site. Revered as a plantsman, Bergmann layers his designs with vibrant blooms and textured foliage. The Art of Fine Gardening features twenty gardens that span his career and are located in the North Shore of Chicago. A special chapter is dedicated to the Gardens at 900, the historic estate designed by architect David Adler, that he developed and reimagined as a series of lush private garden rooms with hedges, towering topiary, perennial borders, and interspersed with classical figures and ornament. Featuring stunning garden images by noted photographer Scott Shigley and texts written by Bergmann, the book describes all the gardens in his own voice – a voice of true experience – offering anecdotes and practical tips to gardeners.

Landscape Architecture Europe #7 features 42 projects full of life, built or drawn, long-term or temporary, selected from entries submitted from all over Europe. Together with thought-provoking essays and inspiring portraits, this richly illustrated publication shows how to design for diversity and how to work with surprise and uncertainty.

As always, an independent jury of practising landscape architects from different European countries has selected the projects. The jury for this edition consisted of Jandirk Hoekstra (chair), (NL), Martin Allik (Sweden), Fujan Fahmi (Switzerland), Merle Karro-Kalberg (Estonia).

In dialogue with other architects and committees – among others, Renzo Piano Building Workshop, BIG Bjarke Ingels Group, Stefano Boeri Architetti, Credite Agricole, Fondazione Riccardo Catella – the book underlines the importance of a shared quality of the daily urban landscape as a key quality of our contemporary cities.

The Right to Nature is a new chapter of reflection and work of the AG&P greenscape, centered on the current and renewed relationship between man and nature. Through out seven main topics – Sociality/Collectivity, Infrastructure, Inhabit, Work/Welfare, Regeneration, Care, Heritage – the book explores contemporary urban landscape issues at the different scales of the project, in the light of the relationship between human beings and nature.

This revised edition draws on current examples in demonstrating how the comfort of the urban environment can be enhanced using modern techniques and new methods. How we experience the urban climate depends on various physical and psychological factors. Based on these factors, Sanda Lenzholzer shows how basic climatic processes work in an urban environment, and how they can be influenced by spatial planning and urban design. The book is richly illustrated with photographs, outline drawings and practice-based examples. It is both a reference work and a source of inspiration for all those engaged in creating a liveable city, be they clients, policymakers, professionals or students involved in urban design, landscape architecture and planning.

They emerge from the countryside, with borrowed landscapes and dramatic views as key elements. Within each design, Paul makes spaces that bring different experiences of the garden. Large sweeping lawns, magnificent soaring trees and numerous, deep garden beds. An allée of trees directs the eye to mountains in the distance. Outdoor dining areas offer intimate vantage points within the broader scale.

From grand gardens in France to a forest grown from seedlings, join Paul on this tour de force of projects complete with lakes, mountains and walled gardens. Paul shares the design process, as well as garden plans and extensive planting lists, while Simon Griffiths’ photography captures the sublime form and light of these generous landscapes.

Big Garden Design documents the principles of landscape design from the most precise detail to the grandest vista.

The rich history of Sri Lankan gardens extends from the early boulder-and-terrace gardens of Buddhist monasteries to the designed landscapes of the 17th to 19th centuries as well as many significant contemporary examples. Gardens of Sri Lanka leads the reader from one surprise to the next. First, there is the world of Sri Lanka’s great royal estates: spatial generosity reflecting a local aristocratic civilization. Another essential tradition presented is that of Sri Lanka’s monastic gardens. The sheer number of Buddhist monasteries scattered all over the island is remarkable. Most of these sites contain gardens rather than buildings. Then there are colonial gardens; visually magical but representing a dark history, these gardens are often forced amalgams between a self-celebrating culture from outside Sri Lanka and the local topography and vegetation within it. Last but not least are contemporary gardens that have, physically and immediately for those lucky enough to walk through them, an extraordinary force and something to teach the world.
The meticulous execution of Gardens of Sri Lanka and the quality of the photographic and textual documentation allows readers unfamiliar with Sri Lanka’s topography to discover, page after page, the existence of a unique and complex world of gardens that they never knew existed.

‘Japan style’ is an aesthetic recognizable to everyone: a beautifully displayed flower, an elegant piece of calligraphy, or a simple rock garden, yet it is also difficult to define.

Written by one of the world’s most respected scholars of Japanese art and culture, this book does just that. Illustrated with over 150 stunning images that unlock the essence of Japanese art and culture, alongside Gian Carlo Calza’s groundbreaking and insightful text, Japan Style explores specific achievements in Japanese art and architecture and offers an in-depth analysis of the whole of Japanese culture, its vision of the world and of humankind.

Discussions with leading designers, scientists and artists – such as Piet Oudolf, Refik Anadol, Peter Veenstra and Carlos Bañón – explore the power and significance of AI. How does it change the designer’s work process? How far does data processing and analysis extend? What is the creative potential?

The treasures of mid-century American architecture have long been celebrated. Less appreciated has been the landscape design that provides the framing for these masterworks. But more than frame, landscape architecture is an art worthy of the spotlight, particularly at mid-century, when the notion that “gardens are outdoor spaces for people to live in” was championed and brought to the fore; now gardens and landscapes are not just external attributes to the house but a continuation of it and its living spaces in a relationship of symbiosis, with its pools and terraces, its winding lawns, and its partly enclosed room-like spaces flanked by brick or stone or plantings in a range of colors and forms.

Approximately seventy-five mostly residential projects are thoroughly documented and recounted. Landscape architects whose work is featured include Thomas Church, Lawrence Halprin, and Garrett Eckbo, among others. Highlights include the dramatic surrounds of Richard Neutra’s Perkins House in its Pasadena hillside setting and Frank Lloyd Wright’s Marin County Civic Center, where environment and building comingle in an extraordinary modernist vision of the future made real.

Oude kazerne- en fabrieksterreinen zijn nu eigentijdse plekken om heerlijk te wonen. Verpauperde stadsbuurten werden met slimme ingrepen weer leefbaar, zoals in Eindhoven, Utrecht en Maastricht. En een beekdal in de Brabantse Kempen ontpopt zich tot een proeftuin voor de transitie van het landelijk gebied. Veel projecten kijken naar verbinding en lange lijnen. Soms zelfs letterlijk, zoals een stadspark in Rotterdam van twee kilometer lang.

Het Jaarboek is samengesteld door de redactie van tijdschrift Blauwe Kamer. De selectie van 18 projecten werd gedaan door een onafhankelijke commissie van vakgenoten. In interviews en artikelen worden actuele thema’s belicht.

Bevat lessen om de transitie naar natuurinclusieve steden versneld te realiseren en zo huidige en toekomstige bewoners een veerkrachtig leefklimaat te bieden.
Voorbeelden van innovatieve groene puntensystemen voor woningbouw uit binnen- en buitenland.
Interviews met experts uit de praktijk van de gebiedsontwikkeling met concrete handvatten voor de slag van ambitie naar realisatie en borging.

In all the new research on the future of urban space, the renewed interest in life, tragically affected by health, ecological and socio-political crises, raises a crucial theoretical and projective question: what role can space play in maintaining and promoting life in the broader sense of bíos? This book is based on the conviction that there is an urgent need to revisit the Foucauldian notion of biopolitics – free, however, from the privilege given to the goal of control – to rethink the project of the city and territory in transition in an affirmative and emancipatory way.

The ‘biopolitical garden’ designates both the mental place and the set of concrete spaces in which the critical thinking developed in this book takes place. Profound and original, it starts from a consideration of the modern and contemporary project as one committed to the maintenance and emancipation of a population. Re-reading a series of paradigmatic projects from the twentieth century, Paola Viganò acknowledges the long-term validity of the three fundamental concepts of functional space, natural space, and social space. She then proposes a theoretical renewal that considers the value of space as an agent subject endowed with its own vitality. Finally, the projects developed by the author in recent years provide a laboratory for ‘situating’ her thinking within a perspective of spatial, social, and environmental justice.

Paola Viganò is an architect and urbanist, is Full Professor in Urban Theory and Urban Design at the EPFL (CH) where she directs the Habitat Research Center and the Lab-U and at IUAV Venice (IT).

A radical redefinition of how humanity occupies the earth — through forests, agriculture, and settlement — and rearticulates environmental stewardship by intertwining ecologies and urbanisms, this publication brings together essays by scholars in forestry, urbanism and other disciplines, designers, practitioners and policy makers. It explores the multifaceted notion of forest urbanisms, including a conceptual framing essay; contributions from the sciences such as bioscience engineering, architecture, urbanism and public policy; contemporary forest urbanism projects and explorative essays that make tangible an agenda for the 21st century. With descriptions of both built and non-built projects from around the globe, the essays show how such projects substantiate a radical shift in humankind’s occupation of the world, where ecologies and urbanisms converge and agriculture, forests, and settlements are integrated.

Forest Urbanisms extends growing research on a new nature–culture relationship, the necessity for trees in cities, and a rebalancing of ecology and urbanism.

Piet Blanckaert brings more than forty years of experience and a love of gardens to his work. Inspired by the great English landscape architects, his repertoire ranges from the walled gardens of his hometown of Bruges to magically structured landscape ensembles. With an introductory essay on his working methods, this book presents Blanckaert’s gardens from the Baltic to the Mediterranean, from the earliest to the most recent, captured in fantastic photographs by Jean-Pierre Gabriel in every season.

Although his gardens include several of the twentieth century’s most iconic landscape designs and have received almost universal praise, Noguchi nonetheless occupies a place removed from the normal practice of landscape architecture. As an artist he relied more on intuition–bolstered by focused study where required–than on objective analysis, and he shaped his landscapes as sculpture, with space as their primary vehicle. To Noguchi landscape design was a spatial and formal art, and from his earliest environmental projects to the works of his later maturity, he succeeded in conceiving and constructing a series of remarkable places.

In this comprehensive and richly illustrated study of Noguchi’s gardens, noted landscape historian Marc Treib describes and critiques projects that date from his early unrealized projects for playgrounds and monuments to a large park in Sapporo, Japan, whose construction was completed only posthumously. The story begins with the discussion of Noguchi sculpture that relate in some way to actual landscapes, then moves to the dance set designs for Martha Graham, finally entering the realm of actual landscapes with his gardens for the Reader’s Digest offices in Tokyo and UNESCO House in Paris. Many more projects followed in the United States, Japan, and Israel.

Varying in their content and structure, several chapters collectively treat subjects such as landform, water, and the courtyard, while others focus on the major gardens monographically. Accompanied by stunning images from the archives of Isamu Noguchi Foundation and Garden Museum archives and the author’s own photographs, the story of Noguchi’s Gardens: Landscape as Sculpture will reward those interested in landscape architecture, art history, garden design, and art more broadly.

International tree expert Henrik Sjöman along with garden designer and passionate advocate for the environment Arit Anderson have created this visionary resource suitable for the world’s temperate regions. It opens with a clear explanation of ecosystem services and how trees deliver them. Some trees excel at particular roles such as providing food for pollinators at times when it is scarce or filtering air pollution. Others have adapted in ways that allow them to cope with extreme conditions such as drought, low-nutrient soil and high winds.

At the heart of the book is a unique A-Z Tree Directory representing more than 550 trees chosen for their ecosystem benefits, resilience and a host of other criteria that will ensure their continuing contribution to our future gardens and landscapes. A further quick-reference Tree Selection Table provides key attributes for each species at a glance.

This important new tree selection guide marks a step change in approach that will lead to more trees reaching their full potential and a richer environment for future generations.

En vooral ook: hoe zorg je ervoor dat je plant jarenlang gezond blijft? Rozen, clematissen, blauweregen en klimop worden apart behandeld. Voor elke groep is gelet op de grootte van de klimplant, het type, sierkenmerken als bloemkleur, bloemgrootte, geur, eetbare vruchten …

Martin Hermy is emeritus professor aan de Katholieke Universiteit Leuven waar hij 25 jaar vakken als groenbeheer, natuurbeheer en ecologie doceerde. Eerder verscheen van hem het succesvolle boek ‘De juiste boom voor elke tuin.

The ten gardens brought together in this book — located in different regions of Italy, from the wetlands of Piedmont to the gentle hills of Tuscany, from the lush Riviera to the sunny coasts of the South — reflect the variety of the Italian territory and its extraordinary biodiversity.

In his gardens, Paolo Pejrone tackles the task of designing greenery with great humility, placing himself at the service of nature and never vice versa. He respects the genius loci, plans seasonal blooms, prioritizes native plants, and studies exposure to sun and shade to minimize watering needs and make the most of the land’s resources. In full harmony with the rhythm of nature, Pejrone’s gardens are a manifesto of sobriety and sustainability.

The book offers the opportunity to see places not open to the public, including private gardens, some of which are new and previously unseen.

The partnership between Pejrone and the photographer Dario Fusaro started many years ago but still continues today. In addition to documenting the transformations of the ever-changing gardens over time, Fusaro photographs every new intervention by Pejrone. In this book he presents the most recent works by Pejrone, some of them completely new, with sweeping views and unexpected glimpses, taken from above with a drone or as macro photographs of flowers and plants.

Na de uitleg van de basisprincipes voor ecologisch beheer volgt een uitgebreid plantenoverzicht met foto’s, beschrijvingen en tips gericht op bloembezoek door bijen en vlinders. Een overzicht van de meest voorkomende wilde bijen en enkele handige tabellen helpen je verder op weg. Het Plantenvademecum voor wilde bijen, vlinders en biodiversiteit in tuinen is dé vraagbaak voor professionals en amateurs.

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.

Aan de hand van schitterende foto’s en illustraties van haar man Bob Wesdorp worden de werkzame bestanddelen van de kruiden toegelicht, gevolgd door ruim dertig recepten voor verzorgende cosmetica. Ook bevat dit complete boek beschrijvingen van de kruiden per seizoen en per soort, met uiteraard uitgebreid de biologische kenmerken. Deze ‘kruidenwandelingen per seizoen’ eindigen telkens met bijzondere en heerlijke culinaire recepten, in totaal meer dan zeventig.

Het gebruik van kruiden past uitstekend in een meer natuurlijke leefwijze, met respect voor mens en milieu.

Deze tuin is heraangelegd en zorgt, dankzij het kleuradvies van modeontwerper Dries Van Noten, voor 365 dagen kleur over de seizoenen heen. Het ontwerp grijpt terug naar de plantensoorten uit Rubens’ tijd, zoals tulpen, kievitsbloemen en vijgenbomen. Met een door Rubens ontworpen portiek en tuinpaviljoen als schitterend decor groeien er vandaag 17.500 bloemen, bomen, heesters en bollen.

In dit boek vind je het resultaat van het onderzoek naar aanleiding van de restauratie. Het biedt een blik op ongekend his­torisch materiaal uit archieven en bibliotheken en een overzicht van de belangrijkste bloemen en planten met hun verhaal. Prachtige bloemstillevens en details van werken van Rubens en zijn tijdgenoten accentueren de schoonheid van een meesterwerk in bloei.

Deze publicatie verschijnt naar aanleiding van de inhuldiging van de heraangelegde tuin van het Rubenshuis in Antwerpen op 30 augustus 2024.

Gardens and flowers have been a core subject of Marina Schinz’s career. This found expression in her previous books Visions of Paradise, The Gardens of Russell Page, and A Tuscan Paradise. Visiting and photographing countless gardens around the world made her engage in gardening herself and culminated in major garden design projects for her houses, first in the Hudson Valley and later near Piacenza in Italy.

In Green Thoughts and Memories, Schinz looks back at her gardening adventures, interweaving horticultural observations with memoirs of her childhood in Zurich. Entertaining and engaging at the same time, full of practical considerations, and rendered with humor and philosophy, the book offers an unconventional appreciation of garden art. It conveys basic knowledge to put budding gardeners and rank beginners on the road to planting a mere tree or starting an entire garden. In twelve chapters, it explores all the elements of gardening, such as weather, soil, labor, planning, flowers, shrubs, etc.
Richly illustrated in full color throughout with Schinz’s photographs of famous and unknown gardens around the world, this beautiful volume will appeal to anyone with a love of plants and gardens or with a desire to create a personal paradise.

Featuring more than 80 gardens from across the globe including the USA, UK, Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand, this beautiful book is guaranteed to inspire you with exciting gardens and innovative design solutions that look to the future.

In dit boek komen rituele planten aan bod die inheems of ingeburgerd zijn in Europa (bijvoorbeeld de Linde en de Roos), of die uitheems zijn, maar in Europa toch op één of andere manier ritueel worden gebruikt (bijvoorbeeld Mirre, Wierook en Rijst). Als rode draad loopt de ingeboren angst van de mens om de greep op zijn eigen leefwereld te verliezen en de daaruit voortkomende vlucht tot allerlei geesten of vreemde krachten.

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.

As the lines between technology, work, and play become increasingly blurred, it is natural we are drawn towards the simplicity and solace of nature as a salve to our everyday chaos. But what if that tranquility could be achieved as a part of our daily work-life-balance? The House of Green is a collection of the most stunning architecture and interiors incorporating nature into their designs, exploring the benefits to homes, workplaces, and more. From design lovers looking to revamp a home to modern-day professionals searching for new sustainable solutions, The House of Green showcases the equilibrium for that ever-elusive balance.

“Green Facades” provides architects with the necessary specialist knowledge to competently deal with the living architecture on the building envelope.

Shifting away from the celebration of greenhouses as technical mastery and exceptional architectural feats, Greenhouse Stories is an invitation to critically look at greenhouses as controversial (agri)cultural production tools. Re-examining them from a social, historical, environmental and creative perspective, the essays and interviews featured in this book highlight stories of vegetal displacement, colonial appropriation and pollution. Yet they also help us to understand that greenhouses can be fertile spaces for women’s empowerment and the nurturing of socially-engaged and eco-conscious projects.

At a time of great anthropocentric pressure on the planet, we believe that questioning the greenhouse as a symbol and a tool can help us re-establish more humble and meaningful connections with the Earth and its living communities.

Trees are social beings, just like us humans. Most trees live together in forests, woodlands, or simply woods. We love the woods. We often say to one another, let’s go to the woods. But what if it was the other way around? If the woods came to us, into our cities? This reflection might seem obscure. At a second glance however, it just might be the most logical and right thing to do.

The urban forest of the future is growing in Sweden. More than thirty years ago, three landscape laboratories were created here to provide space for experiments with alternative forest development. An approach in which hands-on design is combined with creative management, interactive education and with research and resident participation. An innovative approach. In the urban forest of the future, design and maintenance flow together seamlessly.

In the richly illustrated and academically founded book Woods go urban you can read everything there is to know about the design and development of these unique landscape labs. The book presents the ins and outs of the structural elements of the forest and will provide you with solid knowledge about it the meaning of creative management.

With nine additional photos, a larger format and an expanded, up-to-date timeline, this is the new and revised edition of Joel Sternfeld’s Walking the High Line, which documents the overgrown elevated freight rail line above New York’s West Side before it was transformed into the cherished High Line public park in 2009.

In the dark days following the September 11 attacks in New York in 2001, Joel Sternfeld came to Gerhard Steidl with the hope of quickly making a book. For the previous two years Sternfeld had been photographing the abandoned railroad and working with a group, the Friends of the High Line, that wanted to save it and turn it into a park. Powerful real estate and political interests seeking to tear it down and commercially develop the land beneath it were using the chaos of the period to rush forward their plans. Steidl agreed―six weeks later there were finished books in New York. It was a small volume but it played a crucial role in allowing New Yorkers to see for the first time the beauty of a secret railroad in all the seasons.

Like the photographs made by William Henry Jackson in the 1870s of Yellowstone that led Congress to establish a national park, the pictures proved pivotal in the making of the High Line’s reputation.

The great landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx (1909–94) revolutionized tropical garden aesthetics for the 20th century, and today his designs for parks and gardens are celebrated across the world. Marx’s innovations can be summarized, as author Rossana Vaccarino observes, “in four general design concepts—the use of native tropical vegetation as a structural element of design, the rupture of symmetrical patterns in the conception of open spaces, the colorful treatment of pavements and the use of free forms in water features.”
Intangible Heritage presents both Marx’s work and teachings, compiling nine of his most seminal lectures written between 1962 and 1983. Illustrated with images of his mosaics and detailed maps, the volume groups Marx’s lectures into three thematic sections: in the first, he explores how botanical expeditions, such as his trip to the Amazonas in 1983, informed his thinking about urban landscapes; in the second, Marx traces facets of landscape architecture to their ancestral origins and discusses the role of subjectivity in the profession; in the third, he delves into society’s responsibility to protect the environment. The publication also features texts from Marx’s collaborators and admirers, including an essay by José Tabacow, partner of Marx in his last projects, and conversations with art critic Jacques Leenhardt.

Deze tweede gids, geschreven voor ontwerpers en beheerders, biedt drie ruimtelijke concepten die de verwildering gewaardeerd kunnen maken. Een aantal onderzoekers helpen ons om op geordende wijze en met nieuwe denkconcepten meer ruimte voor wilde planten en dieren in de stad voorstelbaar te maken.

Heel interessant boekje!

Het landschap en de nederzetting in dit nieuwste stukje Nederland zijn volgens een integrale benadering ontworpen. Door het landschap tot in detail vorm te geven, worden grootschalige natuurlijke processen aangestuurd. De realisatie van Marker Wadden is de eerste stap in het herstel van de ecologie van het meer, die na de bouw van de Houtribdijk (de verbinding tussen Enkhuizen en Lelystad) in 1976 snel achteruit is gegaan.

Deze publicatie bevat alle aspecten van het ontwerpverhaal: van de aanleg van de eilanden met zand, klei en slib uit het Markermeer tot en met de bouw van de off-grid nederzetting. In woord en beeld worden de ervaringen met en de inzichten van deze bijzondere ontwerpinspanning getoond.

Waar wilde natuur in de stad voor sommigen een verademing is, wordt het door velen nog opgevat als verwaarlozing. Willen we het draagvlak voor een natuurinclusieve woonomgeving vergroten, dan moeten we op zoek naar de esthetiek van de verwildering; het thema van deze gids.
Deze tweed gids, geschreven voor ontwerpers en beheerders, biedt drie ruimtelijke concepten die de verwildering gewaardeerd kunnen maken. Een aantal onderzoekers helpen ons om op geordende wijze en met nieuwe denkconcepten meer ruimte voor wilde planten en dieren in de stad voorstelbaar te maken.

Beginning in 1987, with Álvaro Siza in the Malagueira plan, Gomes da Silva’s career has decisively marked Portuguese contemporary architecture. From Serralves Museum Garden to Madeira’s Seafront Promenade and Lisbon’s riverfront, his particular conception of new grounds proposes a formality without formalisms and a naturalness without naturalisms.

A splendid book, we think!

A Japanese garden represents the essence of Japanese culture, embodying the country’s spirit and philosophy. It has a distinctive style, quality of materials and emphasis on details. Modern Japanese Gardens captures this spirit through the work of 20 contemporary Japanese garden design masters.
The gardens featured in Modern Japanese Gardens are drawn from a variety of locations in Japan, placed in different settings, from private houses and temples to cafés, restaurants and stores. Some are of traditional appearance; others have a distinctly modern aesthetic. In common, all the gardens have been influenced by Japanese culture and society, created by masters who are internationally recognized and lauded for their skills.
Modern Japanese Gardens includes insightful text on each garden, revealing the concept behind the design and the use of plants, alongside photography exploring both the detail and the overall aesthetic that shape the design.

Over the centuries our manipulation of the natural world has resulted in an explosion of synthetic dye production and application globally. To gain insight into the history of how folk practices have been lost and technical processes found, anthropologist and textile artist Lauren MacDonald explores a practice that is both ancient and wholly modern: coloring cloth. The pursuit of color has long spurred economic and social contest, and through this deeply researched volume we explore the stories that the materials used to dye cloth tell us about our complex relationship to nature, our troubling ideas about progress and our understanding of power and labor.
In Pursuit of Color brings together historic techniques, archive photography, specimens and present-day events to tell the histories of some of the world’s most important dyestuffs. A 32-page supplement accompanies the volume, detailing practical applications and the chemistry behind dyeing processes. The book comes in three different covers (red, yellow and blue) which are shipped randomly as a further happy surprise.

Let’s Become Fungal! takes its inspiration from the world of art and mycology and shares innovative practices from Latin America and the Caribbean that are rooted in multispecies collaboration, symbiosis, alliances, non-monetary resource exchange, decentralization, bottom-up methods and mutual dependency­—all in line with the behavior of the mycelium.

Every chapter is phrased as a question. They do not lead to answers, but to twelve teachings addressing for instance collaboration, decoloniality, non-linearity, toxicity, mobilization, biomimicry, death, and being non-binary. Simultaneously it ventures deeper into the world of fungi. The teachings from the fungus may inspire artists, collectives, organizations, educators, policy-makers, designers, scientists, anthropologists, change-makers, curators, urbanists, activists, gardeners, community-leaders, farmers, and many others, to become more fungal in their ways of working and being.
