Description
With hundreds of exceptional photographs by award-winning photographer Clive Nichols, and drawing on thirty years of exploration by Louisa Jones, Mediterranean Landscape Design offers a fresh vision of the Mediterranean, linking gardens, landscape design, literature, art and architecture.
Creative talents from many contexts meet here, such as Gilles Clément and Andy Goldsworthy, Nicole de Vésian and Ian Hamilton Finlay, Arnaud Maurières and Eric Ossart, Mary Keen, herman de vries, and Paolo Pejrone.
Today's artists, designers, architects, and gardeners explore vernacular materials, skills, and sites to produce extraordinary landscape art that affirms an ideal of partnership with nature. Whether in France, Greece, Italy, Morocco, or Spain, the logic of place is determined by climate, geology, flora and fauna, architecture, and land use.
