Landscape Design: A Cultural and Architectural History

by Elizabeth Ba Rogers

Landscape Design: A Cultural and Architectural History Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

People have shaped the landscape around them since prehistoric times, creating places as diverse in form and meaning as Stonehenge, the Forbidden City of Beijing, Versailles, and New York's Central Park. Overflowing with hundreds of plans, drawings, and photographs, many created specially for this book, this engrossing volume spans the history of landscape design and reveals a great deal about the development of societies, and how cities, parks, and gardens embody cultural values.<P>Examining famous and lesser-known sites, some now vanished, this comprehensive survey leads the reader from ancient Egyptian royal cemeteries to the magnificent gardens of Renaissance and Baroque Europe, and from great 18th-century English estates and American public gardens to the earthworks and other landscape projects of today.<P>A feast for the historian, landscape designer, and gardener alike, this new book has no equal.
