YSOA History of Landscape Architecture
Bryan Fuermann
Ancient Roman House in Pompeii
“...but at the far end is the brilliance of the garden seen through the peristyle which spreads out this light with a large gesture, distributes it and accentuates it, stretching widely from left to right, making a great space. Between the two is the Tablinum, contracting this vision like the lens of a camera. On the right and on the left two patches of shade - little ones. Out of the clatter of the swarming street which is for every man and full of picturesque incident, you have entered the house of a Roman.”
– Le Corbusier, Towards a New Architecture
