Profusely illustrated in b/w. This book is an innovative analysis of western European landscape design that is the first to provide an insight into conceptual thinking and the three-dimensional aspect. This analysis has been implemented to examine the "rational plan" in the classic tableaux of the 15th and 16th century Italian Renaissance villa, the "formal design" that reached its zenith in the quintessential 17th century French Baroque garden, and the "scenic composition" as expressed in the panoramic English gardens in the 18th century classical revival period.
