About This Item
Synopsis
Dame Sylvia Crowe (1901-1997) was an expert in landscape and garden design, which lead her to write Garden Design . This text uses historical garden design patterns as an example of what we should apply to our landscapes today. It covers the principles of design in famous gardens including the Alhambra, the Villa Lante, Vaux-le-Vicomte, and Stowe as well as covering the works of Roberto Burle Marx, Lawrence Halprin and Sven Hermelin.
Reviews
She had an extraordinary ability to make an instant appreciation of any situation and to produce acceptable solutions. Crowe�s fortitude became legendary and there are many stories of her continuing to work in hypothermic conditions, ignoring the effects of falling down steep slopes when feeling unwell.
