- Geoffrey Jellicoe
Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe (1900-1996) was an English
landscape architect ,garden designer ,Architect and author.Jellicoe was born in Chelsea. He studied at the Architectural Association in London in 1919 and won a Rome Scholarship in 1923 which enabled him to research his first book "Italian Gardens of the Renaissance" with
Jock Shepherd . This pioneering study did much to re-awaken interest in this great period of landscape design and through its copious photographic illustrations publicised the then perilously decayed condition of many of the gardens. In 1929 he was a founding member of theLandscape Institute and from 1939-49 he was its President. In 1948 he became the founding President of theInternational Federation of Landscape Architects (IFLA). From 1954-68 he was a member ofRoyal Fine Art Commission and from 1967-74 a Trustee ofTate Gallery . He died in 1996, the best-known English landscape architect of his generation.Design projects
