Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines a new style of landscape gardening and architecture. The author was commissioned to redesign the gardens of the Royal Pavilion in Brighton, and his ideas on the subject arose from these experiences. This style draws inspiration from the architecture and gardens of Hindustan (now India). The author discusses the differences between this style and traditional Greek or Gothic styles. He argues that the combination of forms found in this style offers much more beauty and variety than traditional styles, and provides better opportunities to design around space limitations. The author feels this style is the best way to preserve both the grandeur and coziness of the traditional English estate, while also allowing for creative flourishes that reflect the tastes and personality of the owner. The author concludes by discussing the details and benefits of this style, and how it can be used in both large and small gardens and homes. This book offers a fresh perspective on landscape gardening and architecture, and is sure to inspire readers to think outside the box when designing their own outdoor spaces. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
