Summary:
Elegant and magnificent, conservatories reveal fascinating social, cultural, botanical, and engineering advances as they have evolved across history.

The importance of conservatories continues to grow with efforts to conserve phenomenal plants and their environments.

Summary:
Once referred to as Toronto’s ''accidental wilderness,'' Tommy Thompson Park is now recognized as a fortuitous urban miracle. Initially created as a landfill site on the city’s rapidly developing waterfront, the park’s physical and ecological footprint have grown dramatically. Forests, grasslands, and wildlife now thrive – all within a stone’s throw of some of the most densely populated areas of North America’s fourth-largest city. ''Accidental wilderness'' is a collection of essays curated by internationally recognized landscape architect and original designer of Tommy Thompson Park, Walter H. Kehm, complemented by a collection of photographs by renowned landscape photographer Robert Burley. The book explores the city’s port origins; the park’s master plan principles and design; the native-plant succession process; the park’s unique flora and fauna; public advocacy; and public recreation in the park and its effect on mental, physical, and spiritual health.

As regards the positive social and healthy development of inhabitants, landscape planning has become an integral part of all urban planning. Sometimes it is possible to truly merge nature and architecture. “best of DETAIL Landscape” presents highlights of the past few years from DETAIL: buildings that disappear into their surroundings, lush meadows revealed as roofscapes only after closer inspection, paths and walkways through jungle-like gardens. Architecture and cities can no longer be counterpoints to nature and the landscape. Rather they should strive to create stunning symbioses.

Summary:
Edelaar Mosayebi Inderbitzin Architects was founded in Zurich in 2005 by Ron Edelaar, Elli Mosayebi, and Christian Inderbitzin. Their work encompasses design and realization of building projects, urban planning, exhibitions, and publications, and the garden has long been a recurring motif, featuring prominently in many of their architectural projects as idea, vision, or built space. In their exhibition Garden at Architektur Galerie Berlin in 2016, the architects foregrounded that theme and, in collaboration with Swiss landscape designer Daniel Ganz, transformed the gallery space into a living garden. This book presents that installation and offers insight into its creation through striking photographs. Essays by the architects and Stephen Bates, and a conversation with the trio conducted by Martin Steinmann explore the meaning of the garden in a selection of their projects also from a historical and theoretical perspective.

The Climate Garden experience attempts to solve that problem by enabling people to experience the anticipated effects of climate change firsthand. How will the vegetation common to a place change? What food will we be eating in consequence? This book, illustrated with atmospheric images by photographer Nina Mann, serves as a manual for the implementation of such a public experiment on a local or regional level anywhere in the world. Contributions by human geographers, art historians, and ecologists are complemented by a step-by-step guide to creating a climate garden so that people can begin to truly grasp the reality of the problem and its effects.
