Rather than a book, it was the architect  Horiguchi&#8217;s 1934 essay <em>The Garden of Autumn Grasses<\/em> that  initiated a new direction for garden making in Japan, with a considered  and artful use of seasonal plants and a stronger connection to the  modern architecture it accompanied. Unlike Tunnard, who sought  inspiration and sources in contemporary art, Horiguchi looked to the  eighteen-century Rimpa School of painting for insights into the  composition of the new garden by carefully placing individual plants  against a simple background. Although the two theorists-practitioners  never met, Tunnard&#8217;s interest in Japan, and use of Horiguchi&#8217;s work as  illustrations, links them in a shared quest for a landscape architecture  appropriate to their times and respective countries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lavishly illustrated with 150 historical and contemporary photos and drawings, Christopher Tunnard and Sutemi Horiguchi offers the first compressive study into their thinking, landscape designs, and consequent influence on landscape architectured.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":14571,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[5559],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-14570","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-architecture-landscape-design","7":"author-by-author-marc-treib","8":"publisher-oro-editions","10":"first","11":"instock","12":"shipping-taxable","13":"purchasable","14":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Thinking a Modern Landscape Architecture, West &amp; East - ACC Art Books UK<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Title: Thinking a Modern Landscape Architecture, West &amp; East, Pages: 242 Pages, Publish Date: 3rd Jul 2020, Author: Marc Treib, ISBN: 9781943532780.
