Modernism, in the context of landscape design, is a result of forms and functions that reflect the need for outdoor living spaces that enhance contemporary lifestyles. As Garrett Eckbo, one of the central figures in modern landscape architecture, said, landscape design is the "arrangement of environments for people." Contemporary garden design tends to focus on scale as opposed to formal landscape designs that are based on axial relationships. It also foregoes the more classic landscape design ...

Dia dhuit, hello! 'The road from Chicago to Ireland is marked in green,' they say, and the annual dying of the Chicago River emerald green is described as 'right up there with the parting of the sea by Moses and the Pyramids of Egypt.' Well, what's a little blarney, it's St. Patrick's Day. And how is this different from the normal murky green of the River? 'The difference,' the official Chicago St. Patrick's Day Parade website says, 'is both significant and breathtaking.' (Where is that stone ...

In the fall as the nights draw in and the days become shorter many people think that a quiet and restful time for the gardener is approaching and that it's almost time to put the garden tools away in the shed till spring. While this may be true for the lawn mower, there are many other garden tools whose services can still be required during the fall. For the more serious gardener who wants to continue to grow as late in the season as possible or who wants to optimise his lawn and garden in ...

In the first millennium, a wealthy Roman family would most likely have had a garden surrounding their home. In it, you might find an open-air palazzo, pergola-style structures dripping with vines and blooming flowers, a dining area with couches for relaxation, water features such as an outdoor water fountain or wall fountain, and walkways that led out into the garden proper, perhaps to a prized rosebush or into an olive grove. These are some of the elements characterizing what is now called ...

You know one when you see it. The English garden design is all about curved beds, winding paths, riotous color. The gardener's hand is light. There-but just barely. It lets nature do its own thing. You might even say that the English garden design is controlled chaos. The history of English garden design began with the revolt against the constraints of formal landscape design and classic landscape design. These two forms, with their appreciation of balance, symmetry and geometry, sit on the ...

Formal landscape design invokes order and balance. Think of the gardens of Monticello, the landscaping of Versailles, and, closer to home, the gardens of Bayou Bend, which is part of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. The hand of the gardener is clearly in evidence in formal landscape designs as the pathways and plantings are controlled along crisp lines. It is this discipline that gives a sense of peace and order. Formal landscape design is our attempt to exert our control over nature, to ...

In Ireland those who run the hospitals would rather you did not know how many people were being infected as a result of a hospital acquired infection. Incredibly, journalists have been forced to use freedom of information legislation to prise the information from the hospitals and even then the picture is incomplete with some hospitals 'unable' to provide any figures at all and with no national figures available on the death rate from MRSA or other 'superbug' type infections. The Health ...

Many times, we accidentally delete Excel files, save over files that we had previously created and sometimes not even save changes that we have made to a file. At such times, it may seem impossible to recover these files or to get back valuable data that were contained in the file. However, users of Excel should be aware that the program has a very powerful AutoRecover feature that allows for an automatic and quick recovery of workbooks when there are problems like an accidental failure of ...

Most people consider landscaping a great factor in water conservation. However, most critics contend that landscaping is the number one consumer of water. Most people believe that the more abundant the garden is, the more water it consumes. What they do not know is that, in reality, landscaping only consumes 2.9% of the overall water consumption on a national scale. This can even be lowered if people will be sensible enough to take into consideration the limitation of the water supply. So what ...
