Garden + Design + History
A Discussion of Landscape Design in Historic Context
As with any website, this one is constantly evolving and is in what we honestly call a DRAFT. But I am putting it up and publishing in the hope that some may find it and would like to take part. I will be reaching out to an audience as I find more avenues for doing so properly. Please let me know what you think by emailing: moreinfo@gdhc.info
My organizing hypothesis: As you stroll happily through a garden, park, or street knowing the realm in which it was created lends meaning and a richer experience for the walker. G+D+H will illustrate the history which is needed to understand the zeitgeist, the cultural context of the time, in which the design was created. You should be able to hum the music and empathize with the perspective of the patrons from the past.
I am reaching into many other professions to explore contemporary elements of a garden’s era and will share insight of the experts and scholarship I discover in my exploration of garden history. So, here are the measures that, if known while you take your garden walk, I think will create a window into the context of the garden’s design.
Compartive Statistics for each era
Art and Music
Political / Societal Structure
Economic Form and Statistics
Transportation and Mobility
Lifespan and Health
Religion / Myth and World View
Navigating the Website
The website is organized around historic eras. You will find links to each at the pull down menu ‘Design Eras’ located at the top of this page. Once you have landed on your selected era there will be further links to the measures that define that era and the gardens that typify it.
