This volume includes \"Soundings\", an introductory personal tour, plus two early works on European gardens: \"An Italian Study\" (Jellicoe's own reappraisal of his seminal \"Italian Gardens of the Renaissance\", published 1925) and \"Baroque Gardens of Austria\" (published 1932). \"Soundings\" is a self-appraisal of seven decades of practice as a landscape architect and is intended to convey to the reader the same feelings towards the subconscious in creative design that Jellicoe himself has experienced. In the literature on landscape architecture, \"Italian Gardens of the Renaissance\" has been one of the pivotal works. To the original photographs and drawings first published in 1925, Jellicoe has added a completely new text. \"An Italian Study\" is his own evocation and ressessment of that generative trip taken almost 70 years ago. Sir Geoffrey sets out to describe the study and the various phases of its making, ranging from the choice of subject to drawing as an interpretation of history. The third in this volume is \"Baroque Gardens of Austria\", which makes a return to print as part of the \"Collected Writings\". Each work in the volume is illustrated with the original photographs and drawings (to scale). The book is aimed at architects, landscape architects, garden planners and should be a useful reference work in libraries.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50771485917457,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50771486212369,"sku":"GOR004497480","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52723614843153,"sku":"GOR014598810","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52733918118161,"sku":"GOR009873847","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1870673042.jpg?v=1751186607"},{"product_id":"geoffrey-jellicoe-vol-ii-the-studies-of-a-landscape-designer-over-80-years-book-sir-geoffrey-jellicoe-9781870673075","title":"Geoffrey Jellicoe (vol Ii) : the Studies of a Landscape Designer Over 80 Years","description":"\"Gardens and Design\", a collaboration with J.C. Shepherd and originally published in 1927, is arranged in three sections, the first of which comprises Jellicoe's general observations in a series of essays entitled \"People and Gardens, Art and Nature and Unity\". The next section deals with the Villa Gamberaia in Italy, Le Notre at Versailles and the English tradition. The final part is devoted to a discussion of \"The English School of Landscape Gardening, Little Thakeham, Sussex\" with a concluding study entitled \"The National Garden\". The text is supported throughout with photographs and measured drawings. \"Gardens of Europe\", based upon lectures given in 1936, is intended primarily as a leisurely summary of earlier work, such as \"Italian Gardens of the Renaissance\", \"Gardens and Design\", \"Baroque Gardens of Austria\", \"Garden Ornament and Decoration\" and of articles such as \"The Rhine Gardens\" which have appeared from time to time in the architectural press. England, Scotland, France, Germany, Austria and Italy are the European countries containing gardens discussed and commented upon by the author.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50951741636881,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50951742030097,"sku":"GOR014141770","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51517276356881,"sku":"CIN1870673077VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52628885438737,"sku":"GOR006984183","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1870673077.jpg?v=1750725512"},{"product_id":"landscapes-of-civilisation-moody-gardens-book-sir-geoffrey-jellicoe-9781870673013","title":"Landscapes of Civilisation - Moody Gardens","description":"The following is inscribed on page 308 of the author's copy of Bertrand Russell's A History of Western Philosophy:    'During this chapter decided to write a history of landscape architecture, at 10.05am Sunday 23rd May 1958', and 'completed at Taormina, Feb. 1975'    Ten years later the idea of translating his great work The Landscape of Man into visible form was formulated at Seattle on the evening of 19 May 1985. The sketch plan, with little future deviation, was completed in time for breakfast the following morning.    The Historical Gardens that this book describes are only part of a multi-million twenty year programme initiated by the Moody Foundation for the enrichment of Galveston, Texas - a city destroyed by inundation in 1900 and now materially recovered. The site of the gardens themselves is twenty-five acres of flat land adjoining sea marshes. This will be divided by artificial mountains into West and East. There will be fifteen cultures and the guide will take the visitor through them by water in a spectacular mile-long odyssey. First comes the western classical sequence, heralded by a succession of water trumpets: Eden, Egypt, Rome, Islam, the middle ages, 16th century Italy, 17th century France, 19th century England. Then follows a twisting tour through 18th century romantic Europe, through the awesome mountain within which lie the painted caves of universal pre-historic man. Thence through the three spheres of China: Taoism, Tao-Buddha, and pure Buddhism; and so home through Japan and primeval forest. The journey by water-bus should awaken visitors' interest to return on foot to study more closely what is in fact a cultural history of the world as seen in miniature through landscape.    While it is essential that the interpretation of the spirit of history should be academically correct, this principal and, we hope, enchanting composition of cultures (elsewhere usually in opposition one to another in time, space and philosophy) is intended to be a single deeply suggestive work of surrealist art of our own time.    Of the 200 black and white and 32 colour illustrations, over 100 are fine detailed drawings and sketches by the author.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50954894967057,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50954895294737,"sku":"GOR004183812","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1870673018.jpg?v=1751092433"},{"product_id":"guelph-lectures-in-landscape-design-book-sir-geoffrey-jellicoe-9780889550186","title":"Guelph Lectures in Landscape Design","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53433683575057,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53433684033809,"sku":"GOR014917879","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780889550186.jpg?v=1776499345"},{"product_id":"landscape-of-man-book-sir-geoffrey-jellicoe-9780500340615","title":"The Landscape of Man","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53722685702417,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53722685767953,"sku":"GOR005709944","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780500340615.jpg?v=1782843140"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-sir-geoffrey-jellicoe.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
