DOWNLOAD EBOOKModernity was critically important to the formation and evolution of landscape architecture, yet its histories in the discipline are still being written. This book looks closely at the work and influences of some of the least studied figures of the era: established and less well-known female landscape architects who pursued modernist ideals in their designs. The women discussed in this volume belong to the pioneering first two generations of professional landscape architects and were outstanding in the field. They not only developed notable practices but some also became leaders in landscape architectural education as the first professors in the discipline, or prolific lecturers and authors. As early professionals who navigated the world of a male-dominated intellectual and menial work force they were exponents of modernity. In addition, many personalities discussed in this volume were either figures of transition between tradition and modernism (like Silvia Crowe, Maria Teresa Parpagliolo), or they fully embraced and furthered the modernist agenda (like Rosa Kliass, Cornelia Oberlander). The chapters offer new perspectives and contribute to the development of a more balanced and integrated landscape architectural historiography of the twentieth century. Contributions come from practitioners and academics who discuss women based in USA, Canada, Brazil, New Zealand, South Africa, the former USSR, Sweden, Britain, Germany, Austria, France and Italy. Ideal reading for those studying landscape history, women’s studies and cultural geography.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA valuable collection of material has been gathered in this book for the benefit of the student or for the owner who is to understand the ideas of his landscape architect. An unusual feature is the uniform method of presentation used in all the plans, and the explanatory key plan indicating the kinds of line which represent grass, flowers, shrubs, trees, steps, and so on. Each landscape architect's plan has been redrawn in pen and ink to suitable scale by the same illustrator, Mr. B. Y. Morrison, so that exceptional intelligibility and a pleasing unity result. The photographs used (their viewpoints indicated by arrows on the plans) are also well chosen and well reproduced. Within the limits of the scope set, -the small estate, - a variety of problems is included, representing the work of the following landscape architects: H. A. Caparn, Elizabeth Bootes Clark, Marian C. Coffin, E. Gorton Davis, A. S. DeForest, C. N. Lowrie, Warren H. Manning, Olmsted Brothers, Pray, Hubbard and White, Prentice Sanger, Arthur A. Shurtleff, Sibley C. Smith, and Elizabeth Leonard Strang. The text sympathetically sets forth the ideas of the landscape designers, with comments, and touches general principles of estate design as these are brought out by the examples under discussion. Planting design is well emphasized, but not at the expense of the total effect. Some of the chapters, since revised, appeared as articles in House and Garden and The Garden Magazine. Miss Rehmann's interest in the "small place" was brought to the attention of readers of Landscape Architecture in the July number, when the results of her competition on that subject were announced. -"Landscape Architecture Magazine," Vol. 9 [1918]
