by Udo Weilacher

The past decade has witnessed a profound transformation in European landscape architecture, away from the formal, centrally-planned garden art that hallmarks traditional European parks, toward projects, often the result of interdisciplinary cooperation between architects, artists, and landscape architects, of a more informal, almost exploratory, nature.

In Gardens examines more than thirty of the most influential recent landscape projects in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, France, Spain, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland, and from designers like Kathryn Gustafson, Dani Karavan, and Charles Jencks. In the process, this panoramic book illuminates a new paradigm of garden design in Europe and provides a fount of inspiration for landscape designers everywhere.
