About this product

Product Information

100 20th-Century Gardens and Landscapes highlights the evolution of gardens and landscapes throughout the past century, tracing how these distinctive creations complemented buildings of their period. Entries in this book are grouped in chronological periods, documenting changing styles and techniques in a visual timeline. The periods covered in this book are: 1914-1929, 1930-1945, 1946-1959, 1960-1969, 1970-1979, 1980-1989, and 1990 onwards. The examples chosen take the story from the Arts and Crafts garden and the garden city, through the landscapes created for mid-century housing and the new towns, to the low-maintenance gardens of the 1980s and contemporary trends for community and wildlife gardens. Often, designed landscapes were integral to the conception of twentieth-century developments; the inclusion of a handful of particularly successful landscapes for memorial gardens, offices, industry, transport and parks demonstrate a changing attitude to public green space during the century and its increasing importance as private gardens have become ever smaller. Designers and architects such as Piet Oudolf, Charles Jencks, Frederick Gibberd, Geoffrey Jellicoe, Vita Sackville-West and Gertrude Jekyll are all featured, alongside more detailed essays on the history of gardens, planting styles, the importance of modern landscapes, and the career of Geoffrey Jellicoe. The text is written by architectural, landscape and garden historians including Elain Harwood and Alan Powers. Beautifully illustrated throughout with photography, illustrations and garden plans, this book is ideal for gardeners and landscape lovers alike.

  • Lovely, Interesting, inspiring

    A beautifully illustrated and very interesting book. You can tell that the contributors love and care for 20th century architecture, landscapes and grounds. It makes you want to break lock-down rules and visit all those sites within reach. We will only just have to wait a bit I hope. A few small gripes. Two of the sites near me were incorrectly addressed (both as Egham, despite the sites being in Chertsey and in Thorpe). It makes you wonder about the accuracy of all that is written. A map of the 100 sites would have been a useful addition. Some of the contributions let the authors political opinions colour their observations - fascinating to them I'm sure but annoying to the rest of us. However, the book is still a wonderful and inspiring work. Buy it.
