With their centuries-long development, the English landscape garden, the formal French garden, as well Japanese and Chinese gardens constitute an unparalleled repository of design solutions familiar throughout the world. They are frequently drawn upon as reference works, but often in a piecemeal and haphazard fashion and from botanical or art-historical vantage points. That is where the books of this new series come in. They present the various garden types from the perspective of contemporary landscape and garden design. Starting from the formidable beauty of the world's most distinguished gardens, they point the way toward the essential compositional principles, the plants most commonly utilized and their most characteristic uses, and the possibilities for employing them in contemporary projects, thus providing readers with a rich source of inspiration for their own designs and creations. The panorama of "The Chinese Garden" stretches from the surviving historical gardens all the way to such modern examples as the garden at the Bank of China in Hong Kong (designed by I. M. Pei), Ai Weiwei's Yiwu Riverbank Park, the Garden of Flowering Fragrance in the Los Angeles, California, region and the Garden of Awakening Orchids in Portland, Oregon.

Le Yuanming Yuan, situé à 10 kms au nord ouest de Pékin, est un jardin aménagé au début du XVIII° siècle pour le futur empreur Yongzheng qui en fait sa résidence principale. Son fils Qianlong (1736-1796) le parachéve et le fait immortaliser à son apogée dans la série de peintures sur soie "les quarante scènes du jardin de la clarté parfaite". Ensemble de 350 hectares où architecture et paysage sont intimement liés, ce microcosme de l'empire évoque le paradis et confronte techniques constructives et ornementales d'occident et d'orient. Il est incendié et pilée en 1860 par les troupes anglaises et françaises.
