A landmark garden design and landscape architecture book, this major monograph explores the work of Piet Oudolf, one of the most influential garden designers of our time. Created in close collaboration with Oudolf himself, it brings together his gardens, ideas and the largest collection of his drawings ever published.
Renowned for his naturalistic, perennial-led planting style, Oudolf’s gardens are immersive and atmospheric, rich in seasonal colour, structure and texture. This beautifully illustrated hardback traces his career across decades and continents, featuring celebrated projects such as New York’s High Line, Chicago’s Lurie Garden, the Vitra Campus in Germany, Hauser & Wirth Somerset and Menorca, the Venice Biennale, Belle Isle in Detroit and Noma, among many others.
Combining garden photography, sketches and plans, the book offers rare insight into Oudolf’s creative process from both a horticultural and artistic perspective. Essays and contributions by leading voices including Cassian Schmidt, James Corner and Noel Kingsbury place his work in a wider cultural and landscape context.
This is a perfect for garden lovers, landscape architects, designers and anyone interested in contemporary garden design.
