American Designed Landscapes: A Photographic Interpretation by Alan Ward

In this exquisite volume, over 100 black and white images reveal a powerful chronology of design on the land in the United States. Beginning with 18th-century Middleton Place and 19th-century University of Virginia, Mt. Auburn Cemetery, Riverside, and Biltmore, Ward's lens captures the essence of time and place. Ward's eye for 20th-century landscapes is similarly discerning: Gwinn, Dumbarton Oaks, Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Garden, and Naumkeag emerge as alluring places that only skillful design can engender. This remarkable photographer brings elegant clarity to more modern landscapes as well. Cranbrook Academy, Blue Ridge Parkway, and the Miller Garden are all featured here. The volume culminates with images of California Scenario, Bloedel Reserve, Paley Park, and Solana, making the book a visual feast of the seminal landscapes in America, from its founding to the present day. Printed in Italy with high-quality duotones. 12 1/2 by 10 1/2 inches; 128 pages. ISBN 1-888931-09-4. Hardcover.
