Summary:
As ecology becomes the new engineering, the projection of landscape as infrastructure—the contemporary alignment of the disciplines of landscape architecture, civil engineering, and urban planning— has become pressing. Predominant challenges facing urban regions and territories today—including shifting climates, material flows, and population mobilities, are addressed and(...)

Summary:
As ecology becomes the new engineering, the projection of landscape as infrastructure—the contemporary alignment of the disciplines of landscape architecture, civil engineering, and urban planning— has become pressing. Predominant challenges facing urban regions and territories today—including shifting climates, material flows, and population mobilities, are addressed and strategized here. Responding to the under-performance of master planning and over-exertion of technological systems at the end of twentieth century, this book argues for the strategic design of "infrastructural ecologies," describing a synthetic landscape of living, biophysical systems that operate as urban infrastructures to shape and direct the future of urban economies and cultures into the 21st century.

Summary:
This multidisciplinary study considers the concept of green from multiple perspectives - aesthetic, architectural, environmental, political, and social - in the Kingdom of Bahrain, where green has a long and deep history of appearing cooling, productive, and prosperous - a radical contrast to the hot and hostile desert.

Summary:
This multidisciplinary study considers the concept of green from multiple perspectives - aesthetic, architectural, environmental, political, and social - in the Kingdom of Bahrain, where green has a long and deep history of appearing cooling, productive, and prosperous - a radical contrast to the hot and hostile desert. Although green is often celebrated in cities as a counter to gray urban environments, green has not always been good for cities. Similarly, manifestation of the color green in arid urban environments is often in direct conflict with the practice of green from an environmental point of view. This paradox is at the heart of the book. In arid environments such as Bahrain, the contradiction becomes extreme and even unsustainable.

Summary:
Jill Jonnes’s Urban Forests is a natural history of the tree in American cities over the course of the past two centuries. Jonnes’s survey ranges from early sponsors for the Urban Tree Movement to the fascinating stories of particular species (including Washington, DC’s famed cherry trees, and the American chestnut and elm, and the diseases that almost destroyed them) to the institution of Arbor Day to the most recent generation of tree evangelists who are identifying the best species to populate our cities’ leafy canopies. The book examines such questions as the character of American urban forests and the effect that tree-rich landscaping might have on commerce, crime, and human well-being. As we wrestle with how to repair the damage we have wrought on nature and how to slow climate change, urban forests offer an obvious, low-tech solution.

A l'image du jardin de pierre où les enfants sont invités à jouer avec cet intriguant terrain créé par les portes d'embarquement tirées tout droit d'un pavillon d'aéroport, chaque projet peut être exploré grâce aux photographies couleurs, croquis, plans, et commentaires. Les nouvelles formes d'existence sociale ont données lieu à une augmentation de l'intérêt porté sur la définition de l'espace urbain. Nos villes ont dors et déjà passées la limite qui divise les espaces habitables et les lieux de vie, il devient difficile de concevoir un bon plan de développement urbain qui ne contienne pas une bonne conception des espaces publics qui en font partis. Ce volume a rassemblé 20 des meilleurs exemples de conception d'espaces urbains marqués du tampon indélébile des professionnels les plus connus internationalement. Chacun d'entre eux est documenté par de somptueuses photographies couleurs, et de dessins qui permettent de capturer l'ensemble de la complexité du projet, de ses ressources techniques et de ses innovations esthétiques. Ce livre, qui est le fruit d'une profonde étude de cas deviendra sans aucun doute un ouvrage de référence de grande valeur pour tous les architectes, les designers urbains et les étudiants à la recherche des dernières tendances qui ont lieu dans le champ de la conception d'espaces urbains.

Summary:
The positive effects of urban green spaces are well-known, ranging from the promotion of health, support of biodiversity to climate regulation. However, the practical implementation of urban landscapes is less discussed. How can we make these spaces functional, economically feasible and inclusive, especially as cities become more diverse? The publication explores strategies to reconcile the various demands, such as food production, resilience and nature conservation. Indeed, urban landscapes have to be restorative, ecological and aesthetically pleasing at the same time. This is a particular challenge in high-density cities like Singapore, Seoul or New York where space is a scarce commodity. The continuing growth of the worldwide urban population imbues the topic with a special urgency.

Hortitecture seeks to discover the creative and construction potentials of vital plant material, and explores its applications in ecosystem services and urban food production. Through research at the intersections of architecture, biology and technology, IDAS (Institute for Design and Architectural Strategies) explores this topic with the aim of transferring the knowledge gained to the design of buildings. This book documents the projects, ideas and experiences shared by 33 international experts at symposia held at TU Braunschweig. Their critical reflections advance the awareness and expertise needed to develop a nature-based urban architecture.

The essays examine the design techniques and contexts of projects in which atmosphere is brought to the fore. Throughout, photo-essays by Iwan Baan showcase selected design projects as milieus for everyday life. The book concludes with a combined taxonomy of design techniques. The critical and visual examinations of these projects—from William Kent to Lawrence Halprin, Carlos Villanueva to Alexandre Chemetoff, Le Corbusier to Lina Bo Bardi—illustrate that the continual integration of atmosphere as medium in the design process creates spaces with social, emotional and environmental relevance.
