A classic in German for the first time
China has a long history of garden design, resulting in the emergence of a unique style and diverse forms of expression. Common to all Chinese gardens is that they follow the principle that less is sometimes more, and are designed to evoke a sense of the infinite.
Chen wrote his text in five essays between 1978 and 1982, and these appeared in succession in the Journal of Tongji University. Due to continuing demand, they were eventually published as a book with 32 photographs and Chinese calligraphy by Jiang Qiting. This first German edition is based on that edition.
- Brief history of Chinese garden design
- Convenient format with calligraphy, over 30 photos and 10 hand drawings by the author
- A book for anyone who appreciates beautiful gardens
Chen Congzhou (1918-2000) was a renowned garden designer and an internationally recognized expert in Chinese architecture and garden history. He advocated the preservation of the natural environment and the restoration of many historic buildings. His numerous publications on traditional Chinese buildings and gardens have also been translated into English.
