The city's masterpieces of classical Chinese garden design, built from the eleventh through the nineteenth centuries, attract thousands of visitors each year and continue to influence international design. In The Gardens of Suzhou, landscape architect and scholar Ron Henderson guides visitors through seventeen of these gardens. The book explores UNESCO world cultural heritage sites such as the Master of the Nets Garden, Humble Administrator's Garden, Lingering Garden, and Garden of the Peaceful Mind, as well as other lesser-known but equally significant gardens in the Suzhou region.Unlike the acclaimed religious and imperial gardens found elsewhere in Asia, Suzhou's gardens were designed by scholars and intellectuals to be domestic spaces that drew upon China's rich visual and literary tradition, embedding cultural references within the landscapes. The elements of the gardens confront the visitor: rocks, trees, and walls are pushed into the foreground to compress and compact space, as if great hands had gathered a mountainous territory of rocky cliffs, forests, and streams, then squeezed it tightly until the entire region would fit into a small city garden.Henderson's commentary opens Suzhou's gardens, with their literary and musical references, to non-Chinese visitors. Drawing on years of intimate experience and study, he combines the history and spatial organization of each garden with personal insights into their rockeries, architecture, plants, and waters. Fully illustrated with newly drawn plans, maps, and original photographs, The Gardens of Suzhou invites visitors, researchers, and designers to pause and observe astonishing works from one of the world's greatest garden design traditions. 410 0$aPenn studies in landscape architecture. 606 $aGardens, Chinese$zChina$zSuzhou (Jiangsu Sheng) 606 $aHistoric gardens$zChina$zSuzhou (Jiangsu Sheng) 606 $aLandscape architecture$zChina$zSuzhou (Jiangsu Sheng) 610 $aAfrican Studies. 610 $aArchitecture. 610 $aAsian Studies. 610 $aFine Art. 610 $aGarden History. 610 $aMiddle Eastern Studies. 615 0$aGardens, Chinese 615 0$aHistoric gardens 615 0$aLandscape architecture 676 $a635.90951/136 700 $aHenderson$b Ron$f1961-$01684976 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821886203321 996 $aThe gardens of Suzhou$94056763 997 $aUNINA
