  • Publisher: Unknown

C'est en 1990, après des tempêtes dévastatrices, qu'un vaste projet de remise en état du parc de Versailles à été décidé. La réalisation en a été confiée à Pierre-André Lablaude, architecte en chef des Monuments Historiques, avec pour objectif le pari d'en restaurer au plus près possible les dispositions originelles. Cette entreprise ambitieuse a nécessité un travail de recherches considérable, pour retrouver tant les principes généraux d'aménagement de l'espace que le détail des diverses innovations décoratives, botaniques ou hydrauliques, aux époques successives de la création des jardins. L'auteur retrace ici l'histoire des jardins de Versailles, depuis le petit domaine acquis par Louis XIII comme rendez-vous de chasse jusqu'au parc actuel où affluent promeneurs et touristes, en passant par cette période fastueuse, unique au monde, où Versailles devient l'extraordinaire symbole du Roi-Soleil.

  • Publisher: Routledge

Over the past century, luxury has been increasingly celebrated in the sense that it is no longer a privilege (or attitude) of the European elite or America’s leisure class. It has become more ubiquitous and now, practically everyone can experience luxury, even luxury in architecture. Focusing on various contexts within Western Europe, Latin America and the United States, this book traces the myths and application of luxury within architecture, interiors and designed landscapes. Spanning from antiquity to the modern era, it sets out six historical categories of luxury - Sybaritic, Lucullan, architectural excess, rustic, neoEuropean and modern - and relates these to the built and unbuilt env...

Vaux and Versailles

  • Categories: Art

Goldstein shows how the connection between Vaux and Versailles is at the heart of classical style. She retraces the roots of Versailles in Fouquet's short-lived experiment, and destabilises any easy understanding of the court of the Sun King as the origin of French national style.

Of Gardens

Paula Deitz has delighted readers for more than thirty years with her vivid descriptions of both famous and hidden landscapes. Her writings allow readers to share in the experience of her extensive travels, from the waterways of Britain's Castle Howard to the Japanese gardens of Kyoto, and home again to New York City's Central Park. Collected for the first time, the essays in Of Gardens record her great adventure of continual discovery, not only of the artful beauty of individual gardens but also of the intellectual and historical threads that weave them into patterns of civilization, from the modest garden for family subsistence to major urban developments. Deitz's essays describe how peopl...

  • Publisher: CRC Press

The conservation of monuments and historic sites is one of the most challenging problems facing modern civilization. It involves, in inextricable patterns, factors belonging to different fields (cultural, humanistic, social, technical, economical, administrative) and the requirements of safety and use appear to be (or often are) in conflict with the respect of the integrity of the monuments. The complexity of the topic is such that a shared framework of reference is still lacking among art historians, architects, structural and geotechnical engineers. The complexity of the subject is such that a shared frame of reference is still lacking among art historians, architects, architectural and ge...
