JOVIS Verlag Nature Modern: The Place of Landscape in the
Book SynopsisNature is not simply “green” or the “opposite of culture.” Essentially, it is an intellectual construct. The relationship between man and Nature, for instance, articulates itself architectonically. Now what could one see as the possible role of Nature in projects of architects representative of the International Style (including successive echoes in postwar modernity), and how does Nature itself only become “visible” through the built environment? Based on key architecture projects, this fourth volume of the Landscript series attempts to instigate a change of perspective. In series of investigations, renowned researchers analyse architecture through the lens of its own inherent understanding of Nature. Their essays try to gain insights both into concepts of Nature in modernity, whose entire range of characteristics have yet to be explored, and into an architecture, whose relationship to Nature is usually only negotiated in disciplines like garden history. How does this finally relate to our present condition?

JOVIS Verlag Landscape Analogue: About Material Culture and
Book SynopsisThe difficulty of reconciling our basic needs with the long history of cultural landscapes, in all their inherent beauty and sufficiency, has become clear. With our deep trust in modern technology, in progress and in a demanding global lifestyle we have become a real threat to our world. Yet, today the existential and elementary nature of landscapes remains the bearer of a successful metaphor for “balance”. Why not draw—amidst a truly global crisis—conclusions out of our long history of designed nature, of places shaped by skilled labor and a quest for pleasure? Landscape Analogue seeks to stimulate the “Analogue” dimension as a substantial concept for everyday landscape thinking. In an anthology of interdisciplinary essays, Landscript 6 stresses the necessity for a fundamental shift, within the likely framework of a future of restricted resources, a radically different mobility or “hot” cities.

New India Publishing Agency Fundamentals of Ornamental Horticulture and
Book SynopsisOrnamental Horticulture is a specialized branch of horticulture that deals with the commercial cultivation of ornamental plants and the enhancement of the aesthetic appeal of the surrounding environment. It plays a crucial role in improving the overall environment and combating visual pollution through the use of ornamental plants. Flowers, in particular, have been admired by poets and artists for generations not only for their beauty but also for their medicinal properties. The study of ornamental horticulture encompasses two aspects: the cultivation of a wide variety of plants, including annuals, shrubs, climbers, trees, bulbous plants, succulents, cacti, shade-loving plants, and lawns, and their application in beautification programs. However, information on these topics is scattered across different books, making it difficult for students, landscape designers, and scientists to access. Therefore, there is a pressing need for a comprehensive book on the introduction, cultivation, and management of ornamental plants that can meet the demands of horticulture students and florists in India. This book provides a comprehensive guide to the collection, identification, propagation, cultivation, nutritional management, weed control, and plant and flower senescence management of annuals, herbs, shrubs, climbers, and ornamental trees. In addition to these topics, the book also covers bio-aesthetic planning, the basics of landscape design, and flower arrangement.
