About This Book

"Christopher Bradley-Hole has drawn together a great variety of minimalist gardens from around the world - large and small, urban and rural. The projects are grouped into thematic chapters, including the landscape garden, pools and water gardens, courtyard gardens, and terrace and roof gardens. Among the designers are Vladimir Sitta, John Pawson, Luis Barragan, Seth Stein, Jacques Wirtz, Tadao Ando, Martha Schwartz, Shodo Suzuki, and Isamu Noguchi."--BOOK JACKET.

"The author introduces the philosophy of minimalism in gardens and related arts and discusses the world-wide development of parallel friends in more relaxed and ecologically aware planting. The presentation of individual gardens reveals the inspiration behind each one, the relationship of space and proportions, and the frequent use of unusual materials and imaginative planning."--BOOK JACKET.
