Summary:
L’observation des territoires urbains contemporains fait apparaître un paradoxe singulier. Si les politiques publiques s’efforcent de freiner la consommation de sol et les pressions sur le paysage par la promotion de stratégies pour juguler l’étalement urbain, un stock considérable de terrains situés au coeur des villes et des agglomérations n’en demeure pas moins à(...)

Summary:
L’observation des territoires urbains contemporains fait apparaître un paradoxe singulier. Si les politiques publiques s’efforcent de freiner la consommation de sol et les pressions sur le paysage par la promotion de stratégies pour juguler l’étalement urbain, un stock considérable de terrains situés au coeur des villes et des agglomérations n’en demeure pas moins à l’abandon. Ces friches urbaines, qui abritaient autrefois des activités industrielles, ferroviaires, militaires ou infrastructurelles, offrent pourtant de précieuses réserves de terrains constructibles. Selon certaines estimations récentes, une surface équivalant au double de la superficie d'une ville comme Genève sommeille actuellement au coeur des territoires urbains en Suisse. Plusieurs exemples de projets de reconversion ont mis en évidence la pertinence des démarches visant à régénérer les friches urbaines en quartiers animés, attractifs pour l’habitat et propices au déploiement d’activités économiques, sociales et culturelles. Cet ouvrage dresse un état des lieux précis de la situation. A l’aide de multiples exemples , il se focalise sur les stratégies de régénération des friches urbaines dans une perspective de développement territorial durable. Il fournit enfin une panoplie de propositions concrètes, visant à transférer les enseignements tirés d'expériences pionnières en matière d’intégration de la durabilité vers les pratiques courantes de la planification urbaine.

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 term "guerrilla" may bring to mind a small band of armed soldiers, moving in the dead of night on a stealth mission. In the case of guerrilla gardening, the soldiers are planters, the weapons are shovels, and the mission is to transform an abandoned lot into a thing of beauty. Once an environmentalist's nonviolent direct action for inner-city renewal, this approach to(...)

Summary:
The term "guerrilla" may bring to mind a small band of armed soldiers, moving in the dead of night on a stealth mission. In the case of guerrilla gardening, the soldiers are planters, the weapons are shovels, and the mission is to transform an abandoned lot into a thing of beauty. Once an environmentalist's nonviolent direct action for inner-city renewal, this approach to urban beautification is spreading to all types of people in cities around the world. These modern-day Johnny Appleseeds perform random acts of gardening, often without the property owner's prior knowledge or permission. Typical targets are vacant lots, railway land, underused public squares, and back alleys. The concept is simple, whimsical and has the cheeky appeal of being a not-quite-legal call to action. Dig in some soil, plant a few seeds, or mend a sagging fence - one good deed inspiring another, with win-win results all around.

Contemporary Western life has given rise to all sorts of mobilities, flexibilities and incentives that fuel the sometimes dramatic changes in the landscape we are witnessing today. Can the relationship between leisure and landscape be a productive one and, if so, under what conditions? This complex relationship was the subject of a European project, instigated by Dirk Sijmons, Dutch Government Advisor on Landscape, involving thirty universities from twenty countries. This book presents the resulting design proposals in facts, figures, essays, illustrations, bibliography, maps, and photography by Martin Parr.
