Regional Development Conclusion Notes Bibliography Illustration Credits IndexReviews“This book offers an intriguing framework for considering the history of the design and construction of the TVA through the praxis of architects, planners, engineers, and landscape architects. But The Garden in the Machine is equally engaged in the actual material manifestations of the design and construction of the dam itself, the landscape of recreation, and the housing and residential development. Sachs successfully merges the two–a narrative that has not been fully developed elsewhere.” - Thaïsa Way, University of Washington, author of Unbounded Practices: Women, Landscape Architecture, and Early Twentieth Century Design “The Garden in the Machine promises to make a significant contribution to the scholarship of the Tennessee Valley Authority, particularly in terms of the landscape planning and the research agenda of the TVA 'atelier.'” - Christine Macy, Dalhousie University, author of Dams Author InformationAvigail Sachs is Associate Professor of Architecture and Landscape History and Theory in the College of Architecture and Design at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and the author of Environmental Design: Architecture, Politics, and Science in Postwar America (Virginia).
