Visit 45 varied and strikingly beautiful gardens designed by
architects to complement architectural design and function. Gardens
surrounding homes are as varied and unexpected as architecture
itself and can be designed in ways that are practical,
environmentally sound, and strikingly beautiful. Original gardens
add living space and drama to a home and settings for art, and
havens for entertaining or contemplation.The designer of each
landscape has created an original solution that stretches the
boundaries of what we think of as our "backyard garden." Ranging
from traditional (Asian, Southwestern or formal French) to
contemporary (art made from nature or giant steps of running water)
and ecologically sophisticated (roof planting and container
gardening) to intimate garden "rooms" that expand the living space,
these are wonderful, innovative designs.This pictorial tour through
the United States and several foreign countries will inspire garden
lovers, armchair gardeners, architects, and designers to rethink
the possibilities of outdoor spatial design.
