Book Description
"Hirschfeld's five-volume Theorie der Gartenkunst, published between 1779 and 1785 in both German and French, has long been recognized for its importance in the history of gardening, but its reputation has been primarily based on secondary sources. . . . Parshall's fluid translation (from the German) and judicious editing . . . will change all that."—LandForum

From Garden Art to Landscape Architecture

From Garden Art to Landscape Architecture PDF Author: Joachim Wolschke-Bulmahn
Publisher: Akademische Verlagsgemeinschaft München
ISBN: 396091573X
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 220

Book Description
Originally, the area of responsibility for landscape architecture was based on the premise that the planning and creating of open spaces such as parks and gardens was the business of garden artists. Today, the training of landscape architects and future challenges of the profession include the protection of natural resources and the environment, urban planning or tourism - to name but a few. The international symposium "From Garden Art to Landscape Architecture - Traditions, Re-Evaluations, and Future Perspectives" addressed questions which, based on the idea of garden art, should help to reconstruct its historical development but also discussed the notion and the relevance of "art" in everyday work. The contributions critically reflect on the professional self-image of landscape architects at the beginning of the 21st century. The symposium in September 2018 was co-organized by the City and State Capital of Hannover's Herrenhausen Gardens Division, the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Gartenkunst und Landschaftsarchitekturt (DGGL), the Volkswagen Foundation and the Centre of Garden Art and Landscape Architectur. With contributions from: Makoto Akasaka, Nayla M. Al-Akl, Camilla Jane Allen, Teresa Andresen, Ana Catarina Antunes, Philip Belesky, Ronald Clark, Sonja Dümpelmann, Hubertus Fischer, Monika Gora, Ben Jamin Grau, Stefanie Hennecke, Jakob Hüppauff, Karsten Jørgensen, Michelle Knopf, Wilhelm Krull, Jasmin Laske, Kamel Louafi, Michaela Ott, Jeong-Hann Pae, Christoph Pelka , Teresa Portela Marques, Jörg Rekittke, Bianca Maria Rinaldi, Anet Scherling, Mario Schjetnan, Karin Seeber, Myungjin Shin, Jens Spanjer , Christoph Strutz, Hartmut Troll, Udo Weilacher, Christian Werthmann, Anorthe Wetzel , Joachim Wolschke-Bulmahn, Verena Zapf, Yichi Zhang

The Art and Philosophy of the Garden

The Art and Philosophy of the Garden PDF Author: David Fenner
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0197753590
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 393

Book Description
In TThe Art and Philosophy of the Garden, philosopher David Fenner and botanist Ethan Fenner examine the philosophical ideas lying behind one of the most universal human activities. They strip away our assumptions and take a close look at gardens -- starting with a definition of what a garden is -- and argue for a particularly way of understanding their aesthetic properties. Fenner and Fenner make the case that many gardens have a claim to being legitimate works of art. Their comprehensive and accessible discussion contributes to the resurgence of the theory of gardens and gardening, and will also interest any thoughtful person who cares about gardens.
