A large selection of Piet Blanckaert gardens beautifully photographed¿In every place there are invisible lines to discover. These define the perspective, the auxiliary lines. On this foundation the scenes, the perspectives, the volumes, the circulations, the relationships with the existing landscape, are built." Piet Blanckaert, one of the major Belgian landscape architects, brings more than forty years of experience and love of gardens into his work. Inspired from the outset by the great English landscapers, Blanckaert`s repertoire covers a wide range from walled gardens in his hometown Bruges to magically textured landscape ensembles. With an introductory essay on Piet¿s approach by Caroline Donald, this book presents a large selection of Piet Blanckaert gardens, from the Baltic to the Mediterranean, from the first to the most recent, all photographed beautifully by Jean-Pierre Gabriel over the seasons.
