Abstract

French landscape architect Ferdinand Duprat left a vivid mark on the development and consolidation of the landscape architect profession in France and Europe. In 1934 at the National School of Horticulture in Versailles (ENH), he took over the department and program of garden architecture and urban planning (Cours d’architecture des jardins et d’urbanisme) from René André (1867–1942), and headed it until 1951. Since 1946 this school establishes a Department or Sector of Landscape and Garden Arts (la Section du paysage et de l’art des jardins de ENH). It is logical to say that F. Duprat formed the basis of French and European landscape architecture studies, which were also studied by Lithuanian specialists before the Second World War. The article analyzes the aspects of pedagogical, social and creative activities of this creator.
