Description
Excerpt from European and Japanese Gardens: Papers Read Before the American Institute of Architects
Only within a very recent period have architects of the United States appreciated the fact that the garden should be designed in connection with the house. To encourage and popularize this fact the Committee of Arrangements for the Thirty-fourth Annual Convention of the American Institute of Architects determined to make the subject of Gardens one of the principal topics of consideration. It was fortunate to have been able to secure papers from those who were such enthusiastic and scholarly students of the field which each presented in their papers to the Institute. The articles were read in Washington, D. C., December 14th, 1900, and they produced such a favorable impression that it was thought proper by the Board of Directors to have them, together with the illustrations, printed so that their influence would be of a more permanent value. After due consideration by the Board the publication of the material, under the supervision of the Institute, was given to The Architectural Publishing Company of Philadelphia. In the work as issued the authors have in some cases enlarged the scope of their papers and many illustrations in addition to those presented to the Institute have been inserted in the present volume.
