    Skrevet af HOFER

    New York may be most easily recognized by its trademark skyscrapers and brick tenement buildings, but the truth is that the city is actually teeming with luxurious roof gardens and private courtyard oases. Creative gardeners and architects have risen to meet the unique challenges of the urban landscape, designing spaces that celebrate the city while providing a restful escape.

     

    New York City Gardens presents New York’s evolving tradition of garden culture through images and discussions of thirty of its most outstanding gardens, from world-famous botanical gardens to richly re-cultivated public urban spaces, luxurious penthouse terraces, and innovative art gardens without soil or plants. Many of the gardens are set against vistas of the quintessential New York—Central Park, the Empire State Building, skyscrapers of Midtown, and the sensational skyline of Lower Manhattan. Other gardens reveal surprising and exotic intimate retreats from the bustle of the city. While most were designed by noted landscape architects, including Dan Kiley, Hideo Sasaki, Ken Smith, and Halsted Wells, many others were created over decades by talented homeowners themselves.

     

    As more and more city dwellers in New York and beyond look to cultivate their own kitchen and container gardens and individual outdoor sanctuaries, this book provides hundreds of inspiring images as well as historical background and insight into the practical and imaginative solutions of city garden designers.

This publication emerges from ‘Architecture and Extreme Environments’, a master’s programme at the Royal Danish Academy that aims to generate a positive impact on the issues our world faces today. Through a site-specific approach, the programme responds to present and future global challenges through research by design, fine-tuned and site-specific strategies, and active fieldwork in remote locations around the world. The book compiles fieldwork investigations, personal and student work, reflective, methodical and personal essays and finally a summary of the MAP Publication issues to date. A selection of these MAP publications will also be reissued and independently available alongside the book.
