ABSTRACT

THE WORD MODERN APPLIED TO ARCHITECTURE, though useful, is already tarnished with suspicion, and one cannot apply it to gardens without at least a gesture of apology. Nevertheless, its strongest critics cannot deny that there exists a great deal of architecture which may be described as part of the modern movement in that it not only belongs to but is inspired by the age in which we live. This book attempts to illustrate examples of landscape architecture which belong to the same category.
