Fundamentals of Mid-Century Landscapes Type: Recorded Webinar Price: $35.00 This selection is out of stock Description Modern architecture eradicated, or melded, the boundary between indoors and outdoors. It is the major concern of the 20th century. That has consequences for preservation professionals, because the setting is more complicit than ever in evaluating a potential resource, and thus for us as preservation professionals. As framed by "Six Axioms for a Modern Landscape Architecture" established by landscape historian Marc Treib, What are the basic attributes of a Modern landscape? How do we identify it as Modern, rather than a Picturesque or Classical garden? After all, sometimes the geometries of a French garden are just as intricate and building-responsive as a Modern garden. Of course there are the remarkable gardens of landscape architects such as Roberto Burle Marx and other luminaries, but in more modest arenas, what are some typical plants Modern architects used? Why? What were their goals? Do you believe that there are the same or different latitudes in approaching the restoration or rehabilitation of landscapes than those established for architecture in the Secretary's Standards? How so? How do you establish a Period of Significance? What contemporary landscape restoration or rehabilitation of a Modern landscape is a role model for you? Do you distinguish between early Modern, postwar, and mid-century gardens, or is that too fine (and unhelpful) a parse? What impact did the prevalence of Japanese gardeners in California have on the Modern garden here, or was the influence more modern painting, much of that in Europe or the East Coast?
