When one of the world’s leading photographers of hyper-beautiful gardens decides that beauty is no longer enough, it captures your attention.
In this most recent Talk, we heard first hand from Australian photographer Claire Takacs about her epic two-year journey to explore and document 80 of the most innovative garden landscapes from around the world.
For this trip, her focus shifted to projects that dare to take on the bigger questions about sustainability, pollution, biodiversity, and urbanization, all in the face of climate change. The solutions found and realized are astounding. And in many cases, beautiful in a whole other way.
Claire collaborated with multi-talented Italian landscape architect and writer Giacomo Guzzon to create a monumental book based on these travels:– Visionary: Gardens and Landscapes for Our Future.
