Summary:
''Layered Landscapes Lofoten, Understanding of Complexity, Otherness and Change'' aims to challenge internalized concepts about how landscapes are considered and investigated, to open for alternative research, and legitimize subjective, singular and experimental approaches as valid and appreciated as a foundation for an informed process. These approaches take into consideration both the landscape and the practices taking place in the landscape, that are consistently full of individual and collective stories and experiences - the complexity created in both time and space, which influences our societies not only as traces of historical events, but as present realities and even expectations and what is to become.

Summary:
Les jardins ouvriers ont vu le jour à la fin du XIXe siècle et se sont multipliés à Paris et dans les grandes villes de province jusqu'à nos jours. Ces petits lopins de terre sagement rangés le long des voies ferrées, ou en plein cœur des villes, donnent aux plus démunis comme aux nostalgiques de la campagne la possibilité de faire pousser quelques carrés de légumes, quelques arbres fruitiers et buissons de roses, de se créer leur petit coin de paradis... Le jardinier, au fil des mois et des saisons, pense son territoire, le modèle, l'organise. Il se fait successivement poète, architecte, bricoleur de génie et technicien paysagiste. Sa cabane est un petit chez-soi reconstitué, un univers d'échanges et de rencontres. Avec illustrations de l'auteur.

Summary:
Transférée du monde rural a au vocabulaire urbain et postindustriel, la friche désigne en fait toute portion de territoire dont le devenir - provisoirement ou durablement - échappe aux hommes qui l'avaient jusque-là contrôlé. Alors même que les friches en tout genre se multiplient et forment une donnée constante du paysage contemporain, ce numéro 4 des Cahiers de l'Ecole de Blois (janvier 2006) s'interroge sur leur statut et sur ce qu'on pourrait appeler leur légitimité - ce principe d'incertitude ou ce suspens qu'elles font planer sur les enjeux du paysage. Textes de : Pierre Audat, Jean-Christophe Bailly, Chilpéric de Boiscuillé, Marc Claramunt, Gilles Clément, Christophe Degruelle, Aurélie Dewitte, Jean Echenoz, Claude Eveno, Delphine Lermite, Christophe Père, Kyohei Sakaguchi, Anne-Sophie Verriest, Hans Zischler.
