Summary:
"Tiny taxonomy" describes the practice of gardening and the implications of strict classification. It seems that as the world around us gains complexity and intricacy, our biological world is trending towards monotony. As our experiences become more and more uniform, our capacity to apprehend transformation and detail diminishes. Using the scale of the individual plant, smallness becomes a design opportunity while classification embraces the aliveness of plants.

Summary:
There is scarcely any construction principle that can boast an equally extensive array of positive e ffects than the greening of the exterior and interior building envelope. "Green, greener, greenest : façades, roofs, indoors o ffers a comprehensive survey of a range of façade, roof and interior greenings. Here, it is plants that are the main building material: neatly arranged, they complement minimalist high-rise architecture; wildly rampant, they serve as an extravagant element of interior design; and through creative composition, they come to form a sophisticated work of art. The cross-disciplinary juxtaposition of technological progress and creative design is never far from view. Whether in an urban setting or part of a natural landscape, the projects showcased in this volume prove that there is still limitless creative potential in architectural greening, posing new and exciting challenges for designers and landscape architects alike.

De ces notes d’urgence, prises souvent à la hâte, de ces moments passés auprès des acteurs de cette aventure, elle a cousu son texte à partir des rapiècements multiples de son enquête et de son écoute. Elle lance aussi un cri d’alerte à propos de l’écho qui partout agite l’opinion en déformant le plus souvent la réalité de ces arrivées, sur tout le territoire, de migrants contraints. Mais il est rare qu’une libre expression se partage ainsi, à chaud, et relate une expérience d’écriture. Cette forme d’engagement qui demande une disponibilité et une certaine posture est aussi un autoportrait de l’écrivaine à son établi.

Tiergarten is Berlin’s oldest park, with more than five hundred acres of woodland in the heart of the city. Before it was absorbed by the city, the area that became Tiergarten was a naturally occurring forest. Throughout its history, it was used as royal hunting grounds and as a landscaped public park, and—in the years of hardship following World War II— an area where(...)

Summary:
Tiergarten is Berlin’s oldest park, with more than five hundred acres of woodland in the heart of the city. Before it was absorbed by the city, the area that became Tiergarten was a naturally occurring forest. Throughout its history, it was used as royal hunting grounds and as a landscaped public park, and—in the years of hardship following World War II— an area where trees were felled for firewood, before changing social and political circumstances and the growing ecological movement led to measures to restore and replant the vast public space. Thus, Tiergarten has become not only a very popular place of recreation but as well a biotope of extraordinarily high biodiversity. “Tiergarten, Landscape of Transgression” takes readers through the history of the park, with an eye toward exploring it as a radical spatial expression—a space where humans and other species and conflicting histories coexist in close proximity, and a model for future environments in areas of intense urbanization.
