Abstract
Abstract Among the earliest and most celebrated examples of modern landscape architecture is St Ann’s Hill (1935–1937). Christopher Tunnard designed the landscape and he worked closely with architect Raymond McGrath on the house, St Ann’s Court. The project graced the pages of numerous architecture magazines in the 1930s and 1940s and it made several appearances in Tunnard’s highly influential book Gardens in the Modern Landscape (1938/1948). While the project was designed exclusively for Tunnard and his male lover, there have been no analyses of the project regarding the role that sexual subjectivity played in its design. The following offers a rereading of the project through the lens of queer theories in architecture and domesticity, revealing that St Ann’s Hill hides in plain sight while challenging conventions of the time and likely pays homage to a couple who lived on the site previously and whose relationship also demanded secrecy.
期刊介绍：
JoLA is the academic Journal of the European Council of Landscape Architecture Schools (ECLAS), established in 2006. It is published three times a year. JoLA aims to support, stimulate, and extend scholarly debate in Landscape Architecture and related fields. It also gives space to the reflective practitioner and to design research. The journal welcomes articles addressing any aspect of Landscape Architecture, to cultivate the diverse identity of the discipline. JoLA is internationally oriented and seeks to both draw in and contribute to global perspectives through its four key sections: the ‘Articles’ section features both academic scholarship and research related to professional practice; the ‘Under the Sky’ section fosters research based on critical analysis and interpretation of built projects; the ‘Thinking Eye’ section presents research based on thoughtful experimentation in visual methodologies and media; the ‘Review’ section presents critical reflection on recent literature, conferences and/or exhibitions relevant to Landscape Architecture.
