One of the most exciting and most popular designers working today, Martha Schwartz has almost single-handedly redefined the notion of landscape architecture, eschewing conventional notions of ‘natural’ and ‘landscape’ with an exciting mix of bold formalism, vibrant colours and unexpected materials and plants. Ever since her ‘Bagel Garden’ (1979) stirred controversy and attracted international attention, she has been at the vanguard of her field, celebrated and influential around the world. This is the complete monograph of Schwartz’s corpus, some 32 works loosely grouped into themes and presented through breathtaking photographs, accessible drawings and plans, as well as elucidating texts written by one of the UK’s most intelligent garden and landscape critics, Tim Richardson. Essays written by Schwartz give unique insight into her philosophy and her creative process and provoke considerations about the human-made and natural world of the future. |
