Summary:
''The Right to Nature'' is a new chapter of reflection and work of the AG greenscape, centered on the current and renewed relationship between man and nature, and the consequent transformation of our cities through new ways of living, inhabiting, working with nature and the landscape as the protagonist, in every area, at all project scales, as a social balancer and activator of a new urban sociality. The relationship between man and nature today is an urgent issue in the debate on the contemporary city, but it still has to be truly explored, defined, and built. Throughout seven main topics – Green and blue infrastructures, Regeneration, Public space, Dwelling, Green welfare, Heritage, and Care –, the book explores contemporary urban landscape issues at the different scales of the project, in the light of the relationship between human beings and nature.

Ten years after its initial publication, "Weather in the city" is more relevant than ever. Prolonged heat waves are a source of many stress-related problems, especially in densely populated areas. Certain wind phenomena in cities have also caused issues in the atmosphere. Based on these factors, Sanda Lenzholzer shows how basic climatic processes work in an urban(...)

Summary:
Ten years after its initial publication, "Weather in the city" is more relevant than ever. Prolonged heat waves are a source of many stress-related problems, especially in densely populated areas. Certain wind phenomena in cities have also caused issues in the atmosphere. Based on these factors, Sanda Lenzholzer shows how basic climatic processes work in an urban environment, and how they can be influenced by spatial planning and urban design. This revised edition draws on current examples in demonstrating how the comfort of the urban environment can be enhanced using modern techniques and new methods. The book is both a reference work and a source of inspiration for all those engaged in creating a liveable city: be they clients, policymakers, professionals or students involved in urban design, landscape architecture and planning.

Urban design and wildness may seem at odds, yet as cities evolve, wildness is increasingly seen as a resource - shaping how we think about and create our living environments. From urban gardening to rewilding projects, wild practices are gaining ground. Are these trends signs of genuine transformation or just the commercialization of sustainability? How are other(...)

From urban gardening to rewilding projects, wild practices are gaining ground. Are these trends signs of genuine transformation or just the commercialization of sustainability? How are other disciplines rethinking wildness? And how can architects and planners engage critically with these ideas? "Let’s Talk Wild!" brings together 12 interdisciplinary voices in a multi-layered dialogue on chaos, creativity, and the complex meanings of wildness.

Summary:
"Groundswell : constructing the contemporary landscape" presents 23 projects that reveal the surge of creativity and discussion surrounding the designed landscape in a broad, principally urban, international context. In the last 20 years, many significant new public spaces have been created for sites that have been reclaimed from conflict, environmental degradation, and abandonment. The projects, found throughout North America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, were selected for their design, and for their variety of contexts, materials, scale, and types of spaces. This fully illustrated volume includes an essay by Peter Reed, Curator in the Department of Architecture and Design at The Museum of Modern Art, that demonstrates how these innovative projects expand the definition of the modernist landscape while responding to a variety of conditions such as program, social function, and the transformation and reclamation previously industrial areas. The essay is followed by a full-color plate section featuring the selected projects. Catalogue entries for each project provide a succinct description of the site, its transformation, and design concepts illustrated by photographs, drawings, and models.

Summary:
L'ouvrage s'inscrit dans la continuité du titre paru au début des années 1980, Maisons creusées, maisons enterrées. Il propose un tour d'horizon des maisons creusées, puis de leur interprétation par une architecture contemporaine intimement intégrée au paysage. Aujourd'hui, toutes ces réalisations "semi-enterrées", parfois cataloguées marginales à l'époque de leur construction, servent de références avec l'émergence d'attentes nouvelles pour l'habitat de demain : vivre autrement, dans le respect des éléments. Ces maisons utilisent à la fois les savoir-faire vernaculaires, le bio-climatisme naturel, les recherches formelles du siècle dernier ou les tentatives de ces dernières décennies pour exploiter les bio-technologies et l'informatique. En abordant l'ensemble de ces aspects dans le monde entier, l'ouvrage en offre surtout une vue synthétique ; il voudrait être à l'origine de nouvelles découvertes pour chacun, susciter plaisir et passion pour un habitat naturel au milieu de la roche et du végétal, un habitat dans le paysage. Bibliographie et mots clés supplémentaires en bas de page invitent à approfondir l'un ou l'autre des domaines abordés.

Summary:
"Landscape + 100 words to inhabit it" is a title that intends to present a condition of contemporary landscape by measuring it through a direct and immediate form : terms, definitions, ideas, microstories, short texts, notes. It is a collection of instant snaps rather than a complete critical and theoretical look at the subject. It is a group of terms asked for and formulated by authors that are not only architects and landscape architects, but also urbanists, philosophers, critics, poets, geographers and writers. It is a collection of reflections that underlie aesthetic and cultural categories as much as technical-professional values and practices. It is a Tower of Babel of meanings, each having its specific characteristics, which, far from exhausting all the issues of a particular point, propose 'listening' to it from various multifaceted standpoints. These concepts do not guide this book towards a definition of landscape but towards a search for the most suitable instruments for dealing with it.
