Summary:
"Living systems" surveys a wide array of innovative approaches to material technologies within the field of landscape architecture. The selected projects and materials exhibit a contemporary demand for technological landscapes and the collaboration between designers, engineers, scientists and ecologists. The book redefines the conventional boundaries of landscape materiality by focusing on growth, flow, metabolism, climate, and atmospheric phenomena. Projects and materials are cross-referenced according to performance criteria, processes, and properties. Each of the 36 international projects and 23 material technologies is presented with drawing details, construction photographs and an analysis of the various complex systems featured, such as vertical growth structures, flood prevention, stormwater infiltration, erosion control, and the integration of digital media. Projects featured include works by West8, GROSS.MAX, Weiss-Manfredi Architects, Field Operations, Kathryn Gustafson, and Vogt Landschaftarchitekten.

Summary:
Thirty-six years ago, Nek Chand, a humble transport official in the northern Indian city of Chandigarh, began to clear a patch of jungle in order to make a small garden. He set stones around the clearing and before long sculpted a few figures recycled from materials he found at the site. Gradually his creation covered twenty-five acres, consisting of several thousand sculptures set in large mosaic courtyards and encompassing huge buildings and interlinking waterfalls. Published to accompany an exhibition of the same name at the Royal Institute of British Architects Gallery in Liverpool, The Ruin and the Theatre presents this incredible artistic and cultural achievement for the first time—analyzing key aspects of the garden’s collections, its architecture, and the landscape setting alongside beautiful full-color illustrations that pay homage to this modern wonder of the world.

Summary:
Gardens contain time, culture, and nature. They are powerful symbolic spaces onto which a society can project its ideals, either to conjure or contrive cultural change, rooting them in the flow of natural processes. Five authors explore the variety of relationships between garden making and cultural change in Argentina, the Caribbean, Mexico, and the United States. They show how gardens express popular cultural invention and attempts at political manipulation, as well as provide places of cultural resistance by subjugated people. Issues of identity and ideology; political coercion and resistance apply equally throughout the continent, inviting a renewed attention to gardens as places where cultural identities are forged and contested.

Si les émissions de gaz carbonique et d'autres gaz à effet de serre ne sont pas fortement réduites dans les décennies à venir, il en résultera des dégâts immenses et irréversibles. Ce livre pluridisciplinaire rassemble des points de vue scientifiques et politiques de sensibilités diverses, tous convaincus que la lutte contre le réchauffement de la planète est l'urgence de l'urgence et peut offrir l'occasion d'une conversion salutaire de notre système économique. Dans la situation historique, à nulle autre pareille, que nous vivons, c'est l'avenir de l'humanité en tant que telle qui se joue. Il est indispensable d'ouvrir les yeux sur le désastre et de saisir l'aubaine qui se présente à nous.

Summary:
Studies of rituals in sacred gardens and landscapes offer tantalizing insights into the significance of gardens and landscapes in the societies of India, ancient Greece, Pre-Columbian Mexico, medieval Japan, post-Renaissance Europe, and America. Sacred gardens and landscapes engaged their visitors into three specific modes of agency: as anterooms spurring encounters with the netherworld; as journeys through mystical lands; and as a means of establishing a sense of locality, metaphorically rooting the dweller's own identity in a well-defined part of the material world. Each section of this book is devoted to one of these forms of agency. Together the essays reveal a profound cultural significance of gardens previously overlooked by studies of garden styles.

Breaking with the idea that gardens are places of indulgence and escapism, these studies of ritualized practices reveal that gardens in Europe, Asia, the United States, and the Caribbean have in fact made significant contributions to cultural change. This book demonstrates methods and the striking results of garden reception studies. The first section explores how cultural changes occur, and devotes chapters to public landscapes in the Netherlands, seventeenth-century Parisian gardens, Freemason gardens in Tuscany, nineteenth-century Scottish kitchen gardens, and the public parks of Edo and modern Tokyo. The second part provides striking examples of construction of self in vernacular gardens in Guadeloupe and American Japanese-style gardens in California. Finally, the third section analyzes struggles for political change in gardens of Yuan China and modern Britain.
