A History of Landscape Architecture in 100 Scenes
 |
Description
Book Introduction
When writing history, we usually go back in time and begin the story with the creation of heaven and earth.
If we do that, it becomes impossible to know when we will arrive at the time we are living in now.
It may seem contradictory, like a mountain climb that starts from the top of a mountain.
So, rather than going back to the distant past and digging up the tombs of the pharaohs for a historical review, the author of this book looked at the gardens of today and examined how they were connected to the gardens of the pharaohs.
This is why the 'Poet's Garden' created in 1959 was introduced in the first scene, rather than the 'Egyptian Murals' that appear first when talking about the history of Western gardens.
To condense the long history of gardening into 100 scenes, I zigzagged through history, searching for the garden's genes that stretch back and forth around 1959, and listened intently to the stories of countless people, cities, and myths I encountered along the way.
It features masterpieces from ancient, medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, and landscape gardens, as well as modern gardens, but more effort is put into introducing the stories behind the creation of new gardens in each era.
This is because I wanted to provide readers with reading pleasure rather than just adding one more piece of information introducing a well-known garden.
Thanks to the author's journey, which involved delving into the back alleys of history as if he were a detective, we can encounter the fascinating history of landscape architecture, which crosses over 'gardens and parks, architecture and cities, art and literature, ecology and aesthetics, nature and mythology' in one book.

Into the book
In the ancient Roman Republic, he met the unexpectedly talkative Cicero and was delayed, and when he went to the Gentlemen's Club, the birthplace of landscape gardens, he found the composers Handel and Mozart there.
Landscape gardens are the most important part of landscape architecture, but I was worried that the story would become boring.
From then on, I think I was looking for a scandal.
I wanted to make reading fun for readers by any means possible.
I thought it would be okay to go through trash cans if I could properly convey the essence of a landscape garden.

His prime was in the 1920s.
He was one of the most successful architects not only in Germany but also in Europe, and was a representative of the so-called 'Streamline Architecture'.
His most famous work is the Einstein Tower, a solar observatory in Potsdam.
Made between 1919 and 1922.
When Einstein was developing his general theory of relativity, he was researching at the University of Berlin and asked the astronomers there to test his theory of relativity.
Professor Freundlich, who was the head of the astronomy department at the time, was a close friend of Mendelsohn.
Professor Freundlich proposed to Mendelsohn that he build a solar observatory suitable for testing the theory of relativity.
The result was the Einstein Tower.
Upon seeing the completed observatory, Einstein is said to have commented, “The building is quite organic.”
In the end, Einstein not only created the theory of relativity, but also the term 'organic architecture'.

Hercules reappeared in Rome some 2,200 years later, in 1546, carrying the golden apples.
What he was holding in his back hand were golden apples from the Garden of Hesperides.
When this fact came to light, the protagonists of the Renaissance were very excited.
If an ancient stone statue of the legendary Mago Fairy holding a peach were discovered somewhere on the Korean Peninsula today, wouldn't it cause a furor? It wouldn't be out of the question to use this as a catalyst for the creation of a peach garden and erect a statue of Mago Fairy within it.
This is exactly what happened after the discovery of Farnese's Hercules.
A myth that had long been forgotten due to Christianity was brought back to mind, and a reinterpretation of the garden of golden apples began.

Since humans are social beings and have an innate desire to play, any place where we can play together would be a true paradise.
But how much time do modern people, who lead busy lives, have to visit parks?
Should I just keep looking at the park in the distance like a pie in the sky and feel thirsty?
Or should I work hard and earn money to buy a house in the suburbs or countryside?
But there is another problem:
As Ebenezer Howard's garden city concept illustrates, most people want and must live in cities.
If so, the answer is very simple.
All you have to do is make the city a paradise.
