简介

美国世纪中期建筑的瑰宝长期以来备受赞誉，但同样值得关注的景观建筑却较少被欣赏。本书通过伟大摄影师（包括Julius Shulman和Ezra Stoller）的镜头，呈现了这一非凡时期的最佳作品。书中详细记录了约七十五个主要位于美国和加拿大的世纪中期现代住宅项目，探讨了建筑与场地的结构融合。书中收录的景观建筑师作品包括Thomas Church、Lawrence Halprin、Garrett Eckbo等。亮点包括Richard Neutra的Perkins House在帕萨迪纳山坡上的戏剧性环境，以及Frank Lloyd Wright的马林县市政中心，建筑与环境在此交融，展现出现代主义对未来的非凡愿景。本书旨在重新建立建筑与自然的联盟，是任何对整体设计环境有深刻欣赏的人士的必备之作。最终，本书强调了花园和景观设计——在最广泛的意义上——对所有个体生活质量的根本重要性。

The treasures of mid-century American architecture have long been celebrated. Less appreciated has been the landscape design that provides the framing for these masterworks. But more than frame, landscape architecture is an art worthy of the spotlight, particularly at mid-century, when the notion that "gardens are outdoor spaces for people to live in" was championed and brought to the fore. The Modern Garden presents the very best of this remarkable period through the lens of its great photographers. Approximately seventy-five mostly residential projects, built during the Mid-Century Modern period across the United States and Canada, are thoroughly documented here. Landscape architects whose work is featured include Thomas Church, Lawrence Halprin, and Garrett Eckbo, among others. Highlights include the dramatic surrounds of Richard Neutra's Perkins House in its Pasadena hillside setting and Frank Lloyd Wright's Marin County Civic Center, where environment and building comingle in an extraordinary modernist vision of the future made real. This book underlines the fundamental importance of gardens and landscape design for the quality of living of all individuals.
