Andrea Cochran: Landscapes
Author: Mary MyersPublisher: Princeton Architectural Press
ISBN: 9781568988122
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
"Studies in repetition and order, orchestrations of movement in the landscape, and elements placed in geometric conversation," is how author Mary Myers describes the twenty-five-year career of San Francisco-based landscape architect Andrea Cochran. Poetic language suits these functional and often lyrical works of art. They are sensuous, captivating oases that absorb the eye in a totality of spatial composition. Andrea Cochran: Landscapes presents eleven residential, commercial, and institutional landscape projects in detail, including Walden Studios in Alexander Valley, California; the sculpture garden for the Portland Art Museum in Portland, Oregon; and the award-winning Children's Garden in San Francisco. Andrea Cochran seeks to put her clients' individual narratives in conversation with the land. Her work is distinguished by its careful consideration of site, climate, and existing architecture. A stacked plane of planters, each housing a different variety of succulent, mimics the compression found in hills banked against each other in the distance. Drawing on an encyclopedic knowledge of plant species, Cochran uses vegetation to blur edges, and porous and permeable materials to create grade changes that enlighten and disappear. Materials such as COR-TEN steel allow her to draw boundaries on the land with ultrathin edges while also reflecting the earthy tones of the soil beneath. Cochran's landscapes are clean, but not cold. In her hands, polished black concrete becomes both a quiet reflection of the sky and an instrument to amplify the sound of falling rain; locally quarried stone walls reflect the border walls between valley farms; twisted forms of olive respond to the spreading California oaks dotting distant hills. A combination of harmony, wonder, and surprise awaits wherever her sharp geometry and vibrant plant life meet. Featuring stunning photography, drawings, plans, and an essay by San Francisco Museum of Modern Art curator Henry Urbach, Andrea Cochran: Landscapes celebrates the first twenty-five years of a highly intuitive and reflective creative process.

Arthur Cleveland Coxe aimed to present a delightful record of the pleasures that travel in England afforded him. His carefree mingling with the English community and interesting interactions during his travels contribute to his understanding of the place. The author paints a beautiful picture of the sights and scenery in this travel guide and includes details on England's history, culture, and society. He interests the readers with unknown facts about less explored places and speaks freely of several famous personalities, both Whigs and Tories, without any prejudice. The distinctive and characteristic merits of English civilization during the period are portrayed excellently throughout the book. Coxe focused mainly on the brighter side of Great Britain as the evils of this society were already out in the open for people to learn.
