desert de retz

den ich so gerne besuchen möchte. Vor Jahren hat das gute alte Zeit-Magazin eine sehr ansprechende Fotostrecke über diesen Garten gedruckt. Ich habe den Artikel auch noch irgendwo in meinem Archiv. Sprich Schublade. *... the Désert was a robust testing grounds for new forms and theories of landscape and architecture. Perhaps not unlike the Nevada Test Site and other military training facilities, it was an experimental terrain within which alternative systems to, say, Le Nôtre and Vitruvius, were dreamt up, cultivated and then promoted. And for these and other reasons, Diana Ketcham, in her slim but copiously illustrated book, judged it accurately as “one of the glories of the architecture of fantasy.”* Ich bin an dem Punkt, wo Bücher und Fotos nicht mehr weiterhelfen. Also: hinfahren (The Broken Column House, At the Gates of the Desert , Photos by M. McKenna)...
