Garden design history > Abstract Modernism in garden design

Abstract Modernism, garden design and music

Many garden and landscape designers were influenced by abstract art. Few were fully committed to Bauhaus principles in the classic Modernist era but they remain a foundation for design projects in the third decade of the 21st century. Modernist abstract designs were made with:

• rectilinear geometry

• curvilinear geometry

• steel

• glass

• concrete

• mown grass

• expressionist planting design
