Two excellent books on the relation and the evolution of the natural essence of the land and humankind....and those who chose to create harmony between the two.
"Landscape Design-A Cultural and Architectural History" ....."this fascinating book, a comprehensive survey of the history of landscape design, considers what the evolution of human interaction with the land reveals about the development of society, and how the resulting cities, parks, and gardens embody the values of the cultures that planned and built them".......544 pages...633 illustrations including 363 plates in full color.....2001
"Ferruccio Vitale is America's forgotten landscape architect. Though his works such as Skyland's and Longwood Gardens are well known....Vitale developed his designs in important civic commissions such as the National Mall and the National Gallery of Art. He also executed some of his most admirable works for private clients"......326 pages...many, many illustrations ...2001
Whether your interest is of a historical nature, or interested in the process of what is design, this pair of well published books, both in narratives and images, will offer hours of pleasurable reading. However if your interest is more towards cocktail table books or "bookshelf wealth" decor, these two are certainly impressive candidates.
Both are in excellent condition. Both are hardcover.
The cover on the Ferruccio Vitale book looks like it is yellowing, it isn't, that's the coloring of the actual book.
