A superlative analysis of contemporary gardens as well as a fascinating collection of landscapes around the world,  Making the Modern Garden is a definitive study of the philosophy and practice of garden design at the outset of the 21st century. Christopher Bradley-Hole, himself a landscape designer of note, discusses the process of garden design in a presentation of modern landscapes in all sizes and locations. Among the designers in the book are Fernando Caruncho, Peter Walker, Kathryn Gustafson, and Vladimir Sitta. The gardens include roof gardens, courtyards, urban and country gardens, and dramatic landscapes.
