Table Of Content
Introducing the IDEA. The theory: what is conceptualist design? The influence of Art, Land and Environmental Art, the Garden as Art. In practice: the hard landscape, the soft landscape, conceptualist planting. The design process. The design brief: deciding on a strategy, getting inspiration, gathering source material - site-based, present-day or proposed activity, historical reference, site and social history, client history, project-specific incl. single visual motif, imported visual motifs, eclectic or personal, alternative ways of making, autobiographical. Developing the idea: working with the site, the narrative approach, the visual method, autobiographical and art-based. Ways of making (building ideas): unconventional versus the commonplace, paving to create an illusion, drawing with bricks, painting in concrete and turf, constructivist timbers, modern materials and methods - portable and disposable, theatrical and kinetic, planting technologies. Selected Projects: site-specific (5), narrative-based (6), new ways of making (7), garden as art (6), specialist (2). Further reading. Index.
Synopsis
Conceptual gardens depend on inspiration which is the result of an exhaustive intellectual process. The starting point is an IDEA or stimulus that pushes the design along, rather than observing more conventional styles - whether classical of modernist - into which idea or relationships are fitted. Horticultural considerations, architectural or aesthetic doctrines and practically-based problem-solving are either abandoned or regarded as a means to an end, rather than the end in itself. Idea-driven design, therefore, cannot be taught by a 'rule-of-thumb' methodology. So, the way to design a conceptualist garden is not the theme of this book; nor does it contain 'of-the-peg' solutions for garden and landscape designers. Rather it encourages student and professional designers to think further towards their designed solutions.

Item as described, good price, well packaged, arrived slightly later than hoped (not in time for Christmas ) but the order was placed in a very busy shipping period. No issue with the seller’s speed of response and sending the item. Great seller!

The seller is one of the best there is - high quality books, reasonable prices, securely packaged.
I do, however, recommend some changes to their shipping - they show a shipper (SortHub) on eBay, but the tracking # they email is for a different carrier. It’s difficult to know where my purchase is.
This time, it was delivered a week late. In the grand scheme of things not a big deal. But it shouldn’t be this difficult to accurately track my purchase.
