In Gardens: Profiles of Contemporary European Landscape Architecture
Udo Weilacher
In a journey through Europe in 27 chapters, along with an excursion to Chandigarh in India, the author reviews his visits to just as many gardens. The starting-point for the journeys and basis for the descriptions is the "Gardens" column of the Neue Zurcher Zeitung's monthly NZZ Folio magazine, where many of the essays appeared for the first time. With the eye of the landscape architect, Udo and Rita Weilacher have photographed the parks and gardens designed by their colleagues, but also by architects and artists. An impressive picture of contemporary garden art emerges, in portraits bearing a personal stamp and at the same time informed with considerable professional experience.
