Christopher Tunnard's "Gardens in the Modern Landscape" (1948, second and revised edition) stands as a seminal work that revolutionized landscape architecture. Tunnard boldly advocated for a departure from traditional garden design, emphasizing functionality, simplicity, and integration with modern architecture. His ideas pioneered the concept of the garden as an extension of architectural principles, promoting clean lines, spatial organization, and a harmony between built and natural environments. This book profoundly influenced post-World War II landscape design, inspiring practitioners to rethink conventional approaches and embrace a more contemporary aesthetic. Tunnard's vision continues to resonate today, highlighting the enduring importance of his contributions to the evolution of modern landscape architecture. Click here to Order
