| book description |

A rare glimpse into the mind of Jacques Herzog, Calder Gardens: Drawings and Texts by Jacques Herzog traces the poetic and probing journey behind a visionary cultural landmark where architecture, art, and landscape meet. Calder Gardens: Drawings and Texts by Jacques Herzog gives unique insights into the creative process that led to the architectural realization of the Calder Gardens in Philadelphiaâ€”a new cultural destination that brings together the visionary architecture of Herzog & de Meuron and the meticulous garden design of Piet Oudolf to celebrate the human spirit through Alexander Calderâ€™s art. This large-format publication invites readers to look over Jacques Herzogâ€™s shoulder during the development of the project. Numerous sketches and drawings are grouped into ten chapters, from â€œVertical Stacks of Fragmentsâ€ to â€œThe Underground Is Not Innocent,â€ each accompanied by an equally personal short text. As Herzog writes in the preface, â€œThe drawings express uncertainty and doubt, perhaps also enthusiasm in moments when they made me believe I was reaching a new step in finding out what the architectural and sculptural identity of the project was going to be.â€ A selection of collages and study models round out this deep-dive into the acclaimed architectâ€™s working method, artistic intelligence, and questioning, creative approach.
