1. Modern garden at Sutton Place, London in 1980.                                                      A Tudor house with a great twentieth century garden, designed by Geoffrey Jellicoe for Stanley J Seeger. With his developing interest in Jung, Jellicoe saw the design as an allegory of human evolution, with creation, life and aspiration. He made a Paradise Garden, a Moss Garden, a Music Garden a Surrealist Garden and one of the finest features in any English garden: the Nicholson Wall. The Sutton Place garden has since changed hands and is being further developed. There is a new Ellipse Garden and an orchard (on the slope where Jellicoe intended a cascade).
4. Luis Barrigan -- 1902, a Mexican, educated as an engineer
1. Pedregal Subdivision  (1945-1950)                                                                               The Jardines del Pedregal de San Angel, an exclusive Mexico City subdivision designed and built between 1945 and 1953, is widely recognized as one of the most important works of modern architecture in Mexico. A turning point in the career of its architect, Luis Barragán (1902-1988), it has also been said to mark the emergence of a distinctly Mexican modernism. Since the 1970s, Barragán's postwar designs have typically been discussed as Mexican in essence and association, yet study of El Pedregal reveals how this project was also informed by broader trends. For commentators in the early 1950s, much of El Pedregal's success and regionalist aesthetic lay in its sympathetic integration of architecture and landscape, and in this Barragán was clearly informed by the work of Le Corbusier, Richard Neutra, and Frank Lloyd Wright, among others. This paper considers El Pedregal as part of an international discourse, circa 1930 to 1950, on the integration of site and architecture.

1. University of New Mexico campus many rooftop gardens 

   Beginning in 1962, Garrett Eckbo was contracted to develop a long-range development plan for the UNM campus including the North Campus Health Sciences area. His involvement with UNM extended over two decades. He professed "the incredible expansion of consciousness" as a more sensitive approach to architectural landscape planning. His design ideologies emphasized asymmetrical forms, native plantings and abstract sculptural elements. More importantly, he wished to include humanity's presence within the landscape and recapture space for the public.

   The UNM campus landscape is the vision of Garrett Eckbo. The curves and delineated diagonals match the buildings' traditional Southwestern style. Eckbo incorporated studies of pedestrian traffic in order to provide fluid walkways for students. He worked to move vehicular circulation and parking out toward the edge of campus, leaving the campus center as a student safe zone. He also worked to balance beauty with an arid climate and urban growth by researching comparative studies of weather conditions with native plant biology.

7. James Rose -- 1910-1991. Graduate from Harvard (also part of the so-called "Harvard Revolution").
