Product Description

The 3rd edition of this book has been revised and updated by one of the pioneers in the field of landscape design. The book examines principles of design in famous gardens in Spain, Italy, France and England. Dame Sylvia Crowe, a pioneer in the field of landscape design, has written a book that encompasses both a history of design in gardens and a study of the need for these principles to be applied to the contemporary landscape. She takes the reader through the recurring manifestations of the principles of design in such famous gardens as the Alhambra in Spain, the Villa Lante in Italy, Vaux-le-Vicomte in France and Stowe in England and on to the works of Roberto Burle Marx, Lawrence Halprin and Sven Hermelin. While this book is aimed at all landscape architects and planners, it should also be enjoyed by anyone interested in garden design.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Dame on a garden bench..., 4 Jan 2001

By A Customer

It has been ions since this volume was first published 43 years ago. Although revised, it is still traditional in its appearance, reserved in its manner and careful in its approach.

Crowe takes us all the way through; it is historically correct. Yet as a mentor, this has been a primal source for many designers working in the landscape, both in the UK and elsewhere. Crowe's authority is appealing, as there were hardly any female designers at the forefront of design throughout recorded civilisation!

Although careful, Crowe is much in love with her subject matter, and that shines through time and time again. Consequently, the book is appreciated by aficionados as well as pros. The volume's sentimental value is overrated, though, as it was one of only a few serious publications on landscape originating in the British isles in the post-WW2 era.

For a personal tour - join the Dame on the garden bench. She might be gone, but she is still near by... Dame Sylvia Crowe (1902-1997)
