Brussels : two and a half centuries of public parks and gardens 1775-2020
"This book offers a new look at the capital's landscape by highlighting, through a richly illustrated panorama - ranging from the eighteenth century to the present day - the unique history of its parks and gardens as well as of its green infrastructure. Focused on public spaces, the book enables a new reading of these everyday sites which visitors sometimes pass through distractedly, without always deciphering their style, period or raison d'etre. The creators of these landscape designs, often left in the shadows of history, are also honoured, as the volume seeks to show that far from being the result of chance or nature, these spatial designs are artistic creations in their own right. Lastly, by placing these works in an international context, the book shows how much the Brussels region has been, throughout history, at the crossroads of various influences that have contributed in a decisive way to shaping its character"--Publisher information
