The Gardens of La Gara: An 18th-Century Estate in Geneva with Gardens Designed by Erik Dhont and a Labyrinth by Markus Raetz - Hardcover
- A comprehensive and beautifully designed monograph on the history and restoration of the historic La Gara estate near Geneva and the contemporary re-design of its gardens by Belgian landscape designer Erik Dhont
This new book tells the full story of the La Gara estate and illustrates its beauty. The essays investigate various aspects of its preservation and restoration of buildings and gardens and the contemporary interventions. They highlight features such as the historic watering system for the gardens and the fishponds, and look at the specific Genevan garden tradition and characteristics of the rural landscape around Jussy with its biodiversity. Moreover, they contextualise La Gara with the 'ferme ornée', a villa with agricultural and ornamental features following ancient Roman models. The beautiful volume is rounded out with newly commissioned photographs by renowned Swiss photographer Georg Aerni.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. La Gara is an 18th-century country estate in Jussy, a village near Geneva, Switzerland. The buildings have been carefully restored by Swiss architect Verena Best, who also added inspired touches to the interior design. The renowned Belgian landscape designer Erik Dhont reinterpreted and subtly redesigned the gardens and surrounding grounds, completed by a palindrome-like labyrinth designed by Swiss artist Markus Raetz.

Book Description Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Dieses englischsprachige Buch porträtiert das historische Landgut La Gara in Jussy bei Genf und dessen Gartenanlage aus dem 18. Jahrhundert. Die Gebäude hat die Schweizer Architektin Verena Best-Mast restauriert und mit stimmigen innenarchitektonischen Interventionen ergänzt. Die Gärten wurden vom renommierten belgischen Landschaftsarchitekten Erik Dhont in zeitgenössischer Weise subtil neu interpretiert und mit einem palindromartigen Heckenlabyrinth ergänzt, das der Schweizer Künstler Markus Raetz gestaltet hat. Anette Freytag verfolgte die Verwandlung La Garas in den vergangenen Jahren aus nächster Nähe. Ihre eigenen und die Beiträge ihrer Mitautoren - Verena Best-Mast, Erik A. de Jong, Erik Dhont, Éric Dumont, Leïla el-Wakil, Iris Lauterbach, Gaël Maridat, Rainer Michael Mason, Markus Raetz, Luc-Éric Revilliod und Natalie Rilliet - beleuchten die Geschichte des Anwesens, die Restaurierung der Bauten und Gärten samt historischem Bewässerungssystem und Karpfenteichen sowie die zeitgenössischen landschaftlichen Interventionen. Ins Blickfeld gerückt werden auch die Genfer Gartenkultur und die Charakteristik der Landschaft von Jussy mit ihrer grossen Biodiversität. Das Buch widmet sich ausserdem dem Phänomen der «Ferme ornée», einer antiken Vorbildern nachempfundenen Villa mit landwirtschaftlichen und ornamentalen Funktionen. Ein gewichtiger Bestandteil dieses Buchs sind die neuen Fotografien des Zürcher Fotografen Georg Aerni aus allen vier Jahreszeiten. Ausgezeichnet mit dem European Garden Book Award.
