Riassunto

This illustrated book provides an introduction to the 20th Century Garden and Landscape Architecture in the Netherlands. Ten concise chapters, each covering one decade, give a clear picture of the highlights and developments in the field of garden and landscape architecture. General developments are referred to in the texts and the most characteristic projects are elucidated; next, the most important projects from the period are lavishly illustrated with historic and new photographic material, occasionally supplemented with maps and sketches.
The themes include public green and consumables, the experimental gardens in Dedemsvaart, the private gardens of Piet Oudolf and of Ineke Greve, the reclamation of the Zuiderzee, the evolution in agriculture, the role played by the Department of Public Works, the Main Ecological Structure, garden designs for houses, country estates, factories and museums, the development from manageable nature to 'new nature' and the development of public gardens. Designers such as Zocher, Van Eesteren, Copijn, Bleeker, Bijhouwer, Mien Ruys, Van Gessel, Baljon and West 8 are highlighted, always in relation to broad social developments.
