description Influential developments in landscape architecture paralleling those in architecture, industrial design, and engineering occurred during the French Second Empire (1851-1870). The civil engineer J.C.A. Alphand oversaw the design and construction of the Parc des Buttes Chaumont located in Paris's 19th arrondissement. The park opened concurrently with the Exposition Universelle on April 1, 1867; it is the only extant installation associated with the exposition. The park demonstrated advances in landscape design through numerous innovations in construction and materials, particularly concrete. Alphand's theoretical treatise and the physical presentation of the park as an engineered landscape fundamentally shifted the practice of landscape design.
