Planetary gardens: the landscape architecture of Gilles Clément

Gilles Clément confronts the homogenizing effects of globalization with the diversity of life. As a trained gardener, he places our current knowledge of plant utilization and ecology in the service of the planetary garden, in which plant species from a tremendous variety of cultures are collected, and overseen in their development by the landscape designer. This is the first comprehensive English-language monograph on his work.263 p.: 29x28 cm, tapa dura
