An informative and beautiful reference work, discussing the inspiration, themes, and practical considerations behind more than 400 of the lovliest tropical gardens in the world. Landscape architect and designer Made Wijaya provides a sound resource for professionals interested in water gardens, pavilions, paths and paving, courtyards, and other features characteristic of tropical garden design.Particular attention is given to ways to complement the architecture, and the methods of developing a story, or point of view that unites the elements of design. Emphasis is also given to the importance of observing and emulating nature, and reverent credit is given to the inspiration of Balinese culture, as well as to the design ideas found in ancient gardens of the Indo-Chinese civilizations. Includes appendices, bibliography, plant list, chronological list of the author's design projects, list of gardens mentioned in the book, and index. Additional information on some specimen plants can be found in Ornamental Plants & Flowers of Tropical Mexico.
