Sir Jeffery Jellicoe experienced Classicism, Modernism and Postmodernism eras as a Landscape Architect, realising before many architectures of the time the deep theoritical processes behind designing and creating extraordinary places for people. Integating the visible and invisible world became a key methodology.  Jellicoe was able to fuse his knowledge of these artistic eras with the Kennedy Memorial project at Runnymede, UK.

His condition of AIDS led Koolhaas to believe his exploitation of clashes between culture and nature through collage were an aggressive outlet of this struggle with the disease. Yves understood a tensions between city and country, and would impatiently produce collage and drawings to contented with, I perhaps imagine, a highly intelligent struggle in his mind and need to physicalise the pieces.   Shown here is Brunier’s Model for the Garden Rooms of Museum Park, Rotterdam. Collage conveys mood, here Brunier demonstrates the different feels of the rooms within the garden. The magic is that you don’t really need to know what is there completely. The collage conveys enough about scale, sense of place, entrances, routes, colours and tone, the figure in the foregro...
