Anticipating the trends that will take us into the millennium and beyond, this book makes a complete break with the past, moving away from the traditional Jekyll or Sackville-West concepts of gardens as displays of planting skill, and into sculptural spaces that express an iconic originality. 20 case studies show contemporary garden designs from the USA, France, Germany, Holland, Japan and New Zealand. Their purpose is explained in four chapters; design traditions, new functions, design aesthetics and new Elements.
