The Architecture of Western Gardens presents an international tour of garden design from the Renaissance to the present. As object and as literature, it is a sumptuous and unprecedented resource. The more than seventy essays by scholars from Europe and America all commissioned for this book - and over 650 illustrations raise the standard of garden literature to a new level. The result is an invaluable compendium that will serve as a fundamental starting point for exploring the many expressions of the place where nature and culture, project and diversion, work and pleasure meet.

Organized chronologically, the essays and illustrations make up a mosaic of the garden in the Western world. The humanist garden in Renaissance Italy, the concepts of the "Sublime" and the "Picturesque," mazes, grottoes, and other curiosities, city parks, American land art, and even Disneyland are among the topics treated. Discussions of characteristic aspects of history and theory are followed by analyses of individual gardens as paradigms of their type: the Hortus Palatinus in Heidelberg, the Parc Monceau in Paris, the Park Güell in Barcelona, Stowe in England, and many more.

The illustrations are a model of how iconography can function as text. They include ground plans meticulously redrawn from original archival material to provide precise information on the scale and nature of many of the projects, as well as a wealth of drawings, reconstructions, paintings, and photographs.

Nice and Inexpensive!
Color: Light Brown, Size: 4, Color: Light Brown, Size: 4
Thé shelves are good quality and easy to hang. Thé instructions do leave a bit to be desired as they misidentify which anchor to use for dry wall. I followed instructions for the first shelf and it was not very stable. I switched to the other anchors and it was great. All hardware in included. These require minimum size holes in your wall, but it is a floating shelf so be prepared to patch when you take them down.  It’s a set of 4 so a good value!

Not worth the time
Color: Light Brown, Size: 4
Plastic pieces for the dry wall broke and also created an even bigger hole in the wall. One of the shelves wouldn’t even stay level despite following all instructions. Wood gives you splinters as well since it’s not sanded down.

Love this screen room divider!
Color: Beige, Size: 6 Panel
Loved this room divider screen so much bought another one! Several months ago bought the 6 panel and have used it on numerous occasions and was thinking of buying another 6 panel so went ahead and did just that. It’s packaged so well it arrived undamaged and no assembly required. Instant gratification with this beautiful and classy looking screen. (No pictures, already posted them on the first review of the first screen). It’s not wobbly at all, nice height, light enough that it’s easy to move from area to area and set up in seconds, no weird smells. Maybe this is adulting excitement but I can’t recommend this screen/room divider enough, you will LOVE it!

Overall great find!
Color: Beige, Size: 3 Panel
This privacy room divider is awesome! Pretty and lightweight. Easy to move around and stands very sturdy. I purchased this to use as a privacy screen for a family member who is ill. And now I'm actually using it in front of my sliding glass doors to block the extreme heat and sun! Works great!
