Designing the Century - Geoffrey Jellicoe
Writer and garden historian Katie Campbell looks at the life and work of Geoffrey Jellicoe, whose designs were always elegant, unique and utterly intriguing. His work encompassed private, public, industrial and commercial landscapes, memorials, workers housing, roof gardens and water terraces. A writer and teacher as well as a practitioner, from his first book, Italian Gardens of the Renaissance, 1924 (with JC Shepherd) through his seminal 1975 The Landscape of Man, to his final 1995 Garden and Design, Jellicoe, who described his beloved profession as ‘the most comprehensive of the arts’, shaped Britain’s land.
