Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book concerns itself with the state of gardening during the era of its writing, discussing the popular techniques of the time, especially the influence of one particular landscape architect's work on garden design. The author, a contemporary landscape architect, presents a deep analysis of landscape architecture and water features within a garden's design. They describe the difference between the two main schools of thought of the time and how each one approaches the idea of water within a landscape. The author provides a personal philosophical grounding of their ideas about the best techniques to use in order to create a beautiful space. They propose that the prevailing school of garden design at the time, with Mr. Brown as its most famous proponent, has many flaws, most especially in its overemphasis on creating flat, continuous open spaces which lack in visual interest and imagination. The author suggests an alternative school of thought which emphasizes the careful placement of water features, the introduction of a wider variety of flora to create richer, more interesting compositions, and the preservation of natural features over the imposition of artificial ones. The book offers thoughtful insights into the true nature of visual appeal in landscape design, and how water features can be used to improve a garden, especially in light of the prevailing techniques of the day. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
