An early proponent of merging sculpture and nature, this book bridges theory with practical application to improve the understanding of both landscape gardening and sculpture, providing numerous examples and ideas. The author implores experts and laypeople alike to see the commonalities rather than the differences between the professions of landscape designer and civil engineer, or architect and engineer. By recognizing their overlapping skillsets, they can avoid conflict and produce more beautiful and useful results. One of the earliest proponents of this holistic, collaborative approach was the National Sculpture Society, who created an exhibition in 1985 to show the potential of combining sculpture with plants and flowers in both natural and formal gardening and interior decoration. In order to elevate the ethical values of our parks beyond calculation, we must realize that the country is dotted with memorial buildings and statues on pedestals, in most of which structures a lamentable lack of taste and knowledge is felt to exist. This book provides valuable, practical guidance to achieve better balance and understanding.
