Le livre dresse un état des lieux de la santé des sols, de leurs potentiels à leur raréfaction à différentes échelles (mondiale, nationale et locale) et opère un retour d´expériences issu des travaux de l'agence BASE. Ces derniers témoignent de la nécessité d'un renouvellement des pratiques paysagères. Ils cherchent à mesurer la consommation de terres végétales, au vu de la raréfaction des terres fertiles et retrace le long processus de fabrication de sol comme un écosystème fragile et une ressource bienfaitrice. La nécessité de fabriques de terres selon les besoins métropolitains est interrogée, ainsi que leur intégration dans les politiques urbaines. Les expérimentations s'inscrivent au sein du territoire lyonnais, et tirent parti de la gouvernance spécifique du Grand Lyon, qui teste de nouveaux modèles de production de sols au sein d'une économie circulaire. Ces expériences dévoilent les prémices de nouvelles figures urbaines, de paysages en cours de transformation (appelés paysages productifs), jouant un rôle dans l'économie des ressources et dans l'adaptation au réchauffement climatique.

Summary:
For more than twenty-five years, Swiss architects Bernhard Aebi and Pascal Vincent have been running their practice with offices in Bern and Geneva. Housing is one of the firm’s main fields of activity, yet it has also won several high-profile public commissions, such as the restoration and reconstruction of Switzerland’s national parliament building in Bern, the renovation of the Swiss National Bank’s Bern headquarters, and the south wing of Zurich’s main train station. The images by photographers Adrian Scheidegger and Alexander Jaquemet, both longtime companions of the architects, demonstrate how the spaces they created gradually and naturally integrate with their environment. Writer Gianna Molinari joined Scheidegger and Jaquemet on their expeditions to Aebi & Vincent’s buildings. Her literary snapshots supplement the images in this volume, stimulating our imagination of the inner life of these structures and their occupants.

With photographs, plans, and explanatory texts, this volume sets forth the intellectual foundation on which the projects of Vogt Landscape Architects are based. In words and pictures, it describes and illuminates thirty projects, organized according to the exterior typologies of landscape, park, square, garden, cemetery, courtyard, promenade, and interior. Among them are the exterior spaces of the Allianz Arena in Munich, various projects on Novartis Campus in Basel, and the Masoala Rain Forest Hall at the Zurich Zoo. The broad range of essays and articles by friends—Olafur Eliasson, Peter Erni, Hamish Fulton, Roman Signer, Olaf Unverzart, and Christian Vogt—expresses Günther Vogt’s conception of landscape architecture as a heterogeneous field combining a variety of disciplines from the natural sciences, the arts, and design.
