This extraordinarily varied worldwide survey covers the work of garden and landscape designers whose names are familiar to both lovers and scholars of the modern garden, including Robinson, Jekyll, Jensen, Farrand, Sessions, Mawson, Church, Sørensen and Jellicoe. It traces the revolutionary change brought about in the postwar period by the Harvard Rebels – Eckbo, Rose and Kiley – and examines the impact of Noguchi, Burle Marx and Barragán, among others, as well as the powerful international influence of Scandinavian landscape architects and designers. The garden city is also given attention, from its beginnings in late Victorian Britain, through the Greenbelt Towns in the American Midwest, to the contemporary regeneration of urban centres worldwide. A long line of artists and architects of international renown have earned a place in the history of the modern garden, including Monet, Le Corbusier, Wright, Mies van der Rohe and Gaudí. Land artists such as Michael Heizer, Kathryn Gustafson, Andy Goldsworthy and Ian Hamilton Finlay have brought new ways of thinking about landscape and the garden into the twenty-first century.
