Embellie aux Tuileries. A chacun son jardin secret. Pour Matt Damon et Leonardo DiCaprio, c'est celui des Tuileries. Quand ils sont de passage à Paris, ils y font leur jogging, à un jet de pierre de leur hôtel favori, le Crillon. Lors d'une récente interview, le héros de Titanic a même lâché: "C'est le jardin le plus classe que j'aie jamais vu! " Voilà qui devrait attirer ici quelques vagues de groupies matinales. Une goutte d'eau toutefois dans le flot des 10 millions de visiteurs qui s'y promènent chaque année. Cher au c? Pas question pour autant de chambouler le bel ordonnancement imaginé en 1664 par André Le Nôtre. Les splendeurs botaniques vont être, elles aussi, clairement signalées.

Si le jardin est tant aimé des Parisiens, c'est aussi en raison de son fleurissement spectaculaire. Ces efforts sont accueillis avec bienveillance par les Amis des Tuileries, une association fondée en 2003, regroupant 200 riverains et une poignée d'Américains amoureux de Paris. Sheffield’s Impossible Eighteenth-Century Garden | Furnace Park.

There’s a garden growing at Furnace Park. It isn’t just any garden though: this is an impossible garden. On the one hand, it is growing in a place where you might not have expected to find a garden this time last year. In promotional material explaining the ambitions of the Furnace Park project Dr Matt Cheeseman described the site as ‘an odd thing, a safe wasteground.’ It was concrete, overgrown and previously neglected for decades. But with a lot of grit and determination you can garden almost anywhere. It is also anachronistic. What is impossible is that this is a garden that (through its creation, propagation and completion) will have a lot more to give than the cream of its crop. The garden is fundamentally (impossibly!) The eighteenth-century was a period which not only saw the co-existence of many types of garden, but also significant shifts in conceptualisations of what a garden was meant to be.

The early garden was designed to be decoded. Further Reading N. Lost Heritage | a memorial to the lost country houses of England.

The Artificial Magic in Optical Distortions Catoptrics is an area of study concerned with the properties of reflection and the formation of images by reflecting light off mirrors. Dioptrics is a branch of optics dealing with the refraction of light, especially by lenses Anamorphosis is a distorted projection of an image which only becomes clear when the observer's point of view changes or it is viewed as a reflection produced by a specific curved mirror surface The 17th century book illustrations below instruct artists about the basic geometrical properties involved in producing artworks with some types of projected and distorted perspectives and optical illusions.

Scientific societies^ were beginning to emerge in Niceron's time and he became a member of the 'Circle of Mersenne' (or Académie Parisiensis), named after Niceron's mentor, a polymath acoustics mathematician and theologian, Father Marin Mersenne^. A later expanded treatise ensured Niceron's place in history. Neuester Staat Von Franckreich - Jean-Aimar Piganiol de La Force - Google Books.

Les graines, des biens communs ?

Plus spécifiquement les semences utilisées par les agriculteurs font-elles toutes partie de "l'ensemble des ressources, matérielles ou non, relevant d'une appropriation, d'un usage et d'une exploitation collectifs" c'est-à-dire du domaine public ? Manifestement non, puisque certaines de ses semences sont brevetées par des firmes. Et ce type particulier de brevet dénommé certificat d'obtention végétale conditionne l'usage des semences qui y sont soumis. En clair, il y a des semences protégées par des droits de propriété intellectuelle. Et d'autres libres de droits, on dira tombées dans le domaine public et dont l'usage est a priori libre. La réalité est bien plus complexe.

Sachant que cette procédure comporte des coûts, on voit mal quelle firme pourrait engager cette procédure pour un produit (semence) qu'elle n'envisage pas de commercialiser.

Toward an Archaeology of the Gaze: the Perception and Function of Garden Views in Italian Renaissance Villas | Denis Ribouillault. A relatively recent concern among garden histori-ans. Although garden views have been included inthe scholarship since the late nineteenth and earlytwentieth centuries, they are rarely put under criti-cal scrutiny. Rather, images of gardens functionedin these publications essentially as illustrations ordocuments that provide a visual stimulus to helpreaders understand the topography of the land-scape and imagine the atmosphere and beauty of the gardens.

These images, which are generallyconsidered faithful representations of a particularstate of the garden, have been employed to provideinformation about the garden’s topography andhistory. In this, historians have followed the dis-course associated with topographical images duringthe Renaissance, a genre that was predominantlylinked with the idea of truthfulness and objectivity. Civitates orbis terrarum (1572–1618),stated that “the painters really went through thetowns they drew and assumed the real world astheir starting point.” š. Academia.edu.

Paris : CTHS – INHA (coll. « L’Art et l’Essai », 12), 2013. Et si le paysage n’était pas seulement un genre pictural, mais aussi une construction culturelle et sociale… Des décors peints aux jardins, des parcs de chasse aux cartes géographiques, les formes changeantes du paysage révèlent les intérêts territoriaux d’une élite aux yeux de qui posséder la terre revêtait une dimension éminemment symbolique. Rome à la Renaissance offre un terrain d’observation idéal pour comprendre la nature de ces enjeux et leurs modalités.

À travers l’analyse d’un riche corpus de vues peintes dans les loges des palais – paysages de villes ou de campagnes, séries de villas ou de bourgades –, ce livre met en œuvre une « archéologie du regard » en conviant le lecteur à une promenade dans ces lieux de mémoire et de pouvoir.

Gardening Women: Their Stories from 1600 to the Present by Catherine Horwood. When I began my first garden 40 years ago in a village near Oxford, the cottage where we lived had one cold tap and an outdoor lavatory and the ceilings sagged with damp; but the ground outside was rich and black from 500 years of digging and the accumulated silt of millennia of flooding.

And, almost as important, across the water meadows on the other side of Oxford was Waterperry, where Beatrix Havergal, Miss H as she was universally known, had set up her Waterperry School of Horticulture for Ladies in 1928. Waterperry was where I first tasted an Ashmead's Kernel apple, bought my first blackcurrant bushes and fell in love with phlox. It never occurred to me that horticulture could ever be thought an unsuitable job for a woman. But it had been a long, hard fight. But after training, the problem was still where to find work – and what to wear. The first female gardeners taken on at Kew in 1896 (dubbed the "Kewriosities" by the London press) were attired in bloomers. This is a pity. Programme_england-hanover_14-01-30. Pl@ntNet-mobile enfin disponible pour smartphones Android ! La version Android de Pl@ntNet-mobile, le système d’aide à l’identification des plantes par l’image développé dans le cadre du projet Pl@ntNet, est désormais disponible sur Google Play Depuis près de 4 ans, le projet « Capitalisation d’Images » du Réseau Tela Botanica vise à constituer une base d’images unique en son genre pour évaluer et faire progresser les techniques de reconnaissance de plantes à partir de photos.

Ceci a notamment permis la réalisation des applications Pl@ntNet-Identify pour le web en 2011 et Pl@ntNet-mobile pour iPhone en 2013. Depuis janvier 2014, cette dernière est disponible sur Google Play pour smartphones Android. Depuis le démarrage de ce projet, la base d’images et le moteur de recherche visuel développés n’ont cessé de s’améliorer, grâce entre autres aux nombreuses contributions des membres du réseau. Inria a récemment réalisé un film sur cette initiative, qui permet de mieux en comprendre les mécanismes et objectifs.

Multimillion pound boost to save UK’s Magnificent Meadows - Heritage Lottery Fund. There were once natural wild flower meadows in every parish – today only 2% of the meadows that existed in the 1930s remain. Nearly 7.5million acres of wildflower meadow have been lost so far and they are still being destroyed. The Save our Magnificent Meadows Project: A £3million project which will transform the fortunes of our vanishing meadows and grasslands Over the next four years, over 74,000 acres across the UK will be targeted Over 500,000 members of the public will be involved Save our Magnificent Meadows is led by Plantlife working in close partnership with ten organisations including county wildlife trusts, the National Trust, RSPB, Cotswold Conservation Board and Medway Valley Countryside Partnership Wildflower meadow planting is enjoying a huge vogue in gardening; they look beautiful and attract wildlife, particularly threatened pollinators.

Nicola Hutchinson from Plantlife said: "For the conservation of grassland plants and other wildlife this is incredible news. Le roi et le potager.

Vanité de la géométrie ? Euler et les jets d'eau de Sans-Souci. Kent Gardens Trust - Research. Try Formality? by Susan Cohan on thinkingardens | thinkinGardens. Our last piece was by Michael King and suggested that the New Perennial or Naturalistic style was getting everywhere and being used insensitively.

Susan Cohan goes slightly further than that and dares to express an admiration for formality; indeed, four hundred year old formality. Interesting? Anne Wareham, editor Versailles Susan Cohan: I’m taking sides with Andre le Notre. Four hundred years ago he was practising a type of landscape design that is still valid and revered today. I’m tired of the so called ‘new’ perennial gardens with all of their blowsy grasses and prairie leanings. I have a profound reverence for the work of designers like Piet Ouldof and Gilles Clement, but as a designer, their naturalistic ‘new’ style doesn’t make my heart sing.

The style isn’t really all that new at all. Lurie and Gehry Michael King argues in his recent post Never New Gardening (see also) that the so called ‘new’ has become not much more than a ‘look’.

William Kent by Benedetto Luti, 1718, oil on lined canvas (reduced). © Devonshire Collection, Chatsworth. Reproduced by permission of the Chatsworth Settlement Trustees, PA 609. Photographer: Bruce White William Kent divided opinion both during his life and after his death. Praised as a 'genius', an 'oracle… much consulted by all those who affected taste'1, and the 'greatest designer of the eighteenth century'2, he has also been considered the 'best architect'3 of the Georgian era and the 'father of modern gardening'4.

These plaudits befit a man who is said to have spent a charmed existence 'sailing thro the wayes of Life well befriended, well employed and [amassing] plentifull incomes…'5. However, Kent has also been described (usually by the same people) as an 'opportunist' whose work was 'often third-rate or disastrous'6, an over-rated sycophant who hid his lack of talent behind 'civil and obliging behaviour'7.
