Summary:
De la ferme briarde à la cité-jardin, des ateliers d'artistes aux gares, des maisons de villégiature aux théâtres de verdure, le label « Patrimoine d'intérêt régional », créé en 2017 par la Région Île-de-France, met en lumière un patrimoine souvent méconnu, insolite mais essentiel. Il distingue ces lieux qui façonnent la singularité et l'identité du territoire. Il invite les Franciliens à redécouvrir, à quelques pas de chez eux, le paysage de leur quotidien : une mosaïque de lieux dévoilant une région d'une étonnante diversité, où la ruralité, l'industrie, la villégiature dialoguent avec la modernité architecturale. Ce nouvel opus de la collection Ré-inventaire propose un voyage photographique à travers une sélection de plus de soixante-dix sites, une invitation à la déambulation pour admirer des lieux souvent insoupçonnés.

Un regard à la fois graphique, artistique et documentaire sur la transformation du bâtiment du Centre culturel suisse à Paris et sur le processus de rénovation mené entre 2022 et 2026 par les studios d'architecture ASBR (Paris) et Truwant + Rodet + (Bâle). Ce regard est porté par les photographes Florine Leoni et Nicolas Delaroche, ainsi que par la graphiste Adeline Mollard, qui développe un traitement des images en risographie afin de permettre une lecture en parallèle des différentes étapes de cette métamorphose architecturale. Les images du chantier en risographie dialoguent avec des photographies en pleine page des espaces achevés. L'ensemble est enrichi de plans et d'un entretien avec les personnes impliquées dans le projet, mené par l'architecte Stéphanie Bru, et se déploie sur deux papiers distincts. À la manière d'un palimpseste, l'ouvrage révèle les strates du temps, la mémoire et les transformations successives d'un lieu jusqu'à sa réouverture au public.

Summary:
With a changing climate, sea levels are expected to rise at an increasing rate over the next centuries, jeopardising populations living in smaller or larger urban communities along the coastlines. The extent and speed of this process is uncertain, which puts coastal cities in the difficult position of deciding which urban planning and design responses are adequate. Also, the complexity and extended time-frame of this wicked problem calls for multidisciplinary and open-minded approaches, where knowledge, practice, and visions for the future all contribute to robust, evidence-based, and locally attuned adaption. This book tackles the challenge of sea level rise and how cities can respond.

Summary:
**OUT OF PRINT / EPUISÉ** Urban places can only be considered a success if they are being used. Here an overview of thriving squares and urban spaces in European architecture. What would a town be without squares? It is precisely these open spaces which give the built areas their meaning, function and character. Squares provide a breathing space within the structure of the city, separating and joining. They are the stage for urban actors, the heart of the political and social life of an urban community, and as such designing new squares or redesigning existing ones is one of the most delightful tasks for architects, urban planners and landscape architects. Open-air and multi-functional, squares are always unique and more strongly defined by their surroundings than buildings. This book presents the best and most attractive squares which have been presented in individual Topos magazines since 1993. It contains successful examples from Barcelona, Lyon, Reykjavik, Verona, Dublin and Vienna. Some of the examples, for instance, the Schouwerburgplein in Rotterdam, the Place des Terraux in Lyon or the Gustav-Adolf-Torg in Malmö were much discussed even criticized. Yet they bear the confident signature of their designer and a distinctive interplay of material and form, art and commerce, work and fun.

Summary:
New ideas and concepts for urban architecture and landscape architecture from the Netherlands: this survey takes stock of the current situation. In any discussion on contemporary landscape architecture, visionary urban development or revolutionary building, it is impossible to overlook the Netherlands. The experts look to this small, flat country which constantly seeks to exceed its narrow boundaries by creating new space. The Netherlands is crowded and so it is hardly surprising that architects endeavour to "stack" landscapes and functions as the Dutch pavilion in the Expo 2000, designed by MVRDV demonstrated. Here, new ideas and concepts in architecture and landscape design fall on the fertile ground. Rem Koolhaas had prepared the way: nothing must stay as it is, even the open countryside and the towns can be changed, moulded, shaped. The Dutch are experts at building in the sea, on polders, on man-made islands, and on former harbour areas as in Rotterdam Kop van Zuid. Architecture and landscape architecture are not only a matter of public interest but they are ongoing processes in the Netherlands, and this is reflected in many of the projects in this book which include the gardens and squares of West 8, the Museumsplein in Amsterdam, the town planning in Zutphen or Apeldoorn. The examples have all been published in different contexts in Topos, but this is the first time that they have been collated to provide an illuminating overview of contemporary Dutch landscape architecture.

How does the fusion of natural and artificial materials produce new architectural organisms, new environments, new natures? How does technology animate space and how do users and programs animate matter? Because everything grows, especially cities, the fifth volume of Actarís Verb series looks for a new definition of the organic through architecture, graphics, and photography as well as visual and digital art. Verb Natures follows Verb 1, Verb Matters, Verb Connection and Verb Conditioning.
