Summary:
Dans le champ du projet, la nature est aujourd’hui sans cesse évoquée. Invoquant l’impératif environnemental et écologique, les architectes promettent de rendre la ville de demain plus accueillante et agréable, grâce à une architecture de plus en plus « végétale ». Des images séduisantes et « verdoyantes », associées à un vocabulaire étranger au champ lexical du projet, cachent l’architecture en tant qu’objet minéral. L’hégémonie et l’abus de la notion de paysage révèlent en réalité des problématiques culturelles profondes. Le retour à l’identité, aux racines, au lieu : un triptyque hégémonique chez les architectes et le grand public, qu’il convient de remettre en question. Politiquement très ambigus dans leurs implications, ces nouveaux mots d’ordres instrumentalisent une version banalisée de la beauté. C’est en ce sens que nous parlons ici de paysages réactionnaires. L’acception esthétisante et nostalgique du paysage transforme l’impératif écologiste en une idéologie dénuée de toute l’urgence politique que la question mériterait. Cet ouvrage, en dressant une histoire synthétique du « dispositif visuel » structurant une certaine idée de Modernité, entend montrer comment cette dérive contemplative du paysage est révélatrice d’une crise de la notion de projet, entendu dans son sens le plus profondément politique. Nous entendons au contraire affirmer une conception du paysage complexe et évolutive, synthétisant plusieurs questions (d’échelle, de temps, d’objectivité/subjectivité), contre toute rhétorique nostalgique de la « belle intégralité perdue ».

S’il y a une nécessité du paysage, c’est avant tout parce qu’il est une donnée constitutive et incontournable de l’existence humaine, individuelle et sociale.

Summary:
« Je ne me serais pas intéressé au blanc s’il n’apparaissait constamment comme une anomalie du paysage, tantôt le valorisant, tantôt le dégradant. "Dans la nature, le blanc n’existe pas". Assertion frappante. Je la tiens de Bernard Lassus, alors enseignant en art plastique à l’École du paysage de Versailles. D’une manière ou d’une autre, les composantes inertes du paysage se trouvent liées au vivant en tant que système mais il arrive qu’on les perçoive pour elles-mêmes sans identifier les êtres auxquels elles se trouvent associées : une plage de sable blanc, une cime enneigée, une falaise de craie. Le blanc intervient alors de façon massive, occupant tout le regard et, même s’il s’agit d’un phénomène temporaire – le ciel, l’écume, la neige – il peut identifier un territoire durablement. » G. C.

Summary:
A celebrated figure in myth, song, and story, the nightingale has captivated the imagination for millennia, its complex song evoking a prism of human emotions,-from melancholy to joy, from the fear of death to the immortality of art. As philosopher and musician David Rothenberg shows in this searching and personal new book, the nightingale's song is so peculiar in part because it reflects our own cacophony back at us. As vocal learners, nightingales acquire their music through the world around them, singing amidst the sounds of humanity in all its contradictions of noise and beauty, hard machinery and soft melody. Rather than try to capture a sound not made for us to understand, Rothenberg seeks these musical creatures out, clarinet in tow, and makes a new sound with them. He takes us to the urban landscape of Berlin—longtime home to nightingale colonies where the birds sing ever louder in order to be heard—and invites us to listen in on their remarkable collaboration as birds and instruments riff off of each other's sounds. Through dialogue, travel records, sonograms, tours of Berlin's city parks, and musings on the place animal music occupies in our collective imagination, Rothenberg takes us on a quest for a new sonic alchemy, a music impossible for any one species to make alone.

Designing gardens, parks and landscapes requires a holistic approach. It also requires extensive specialist knowledge. In courses and manuals the generalist or in-depth levels are frequently under-represented, or the attempted comprehensive view becomes too complex. "Landscape for Architects" now offers a fundamental reference work which is as comprehensive as it is practical and as holistic as it is detailed. Created in cooperation with the Architecture Department of Braunschweig Technical University, Landscape for Architects addresses the aspects of landscape architecture: "questions" are raised with abstract schematic drawings, and possible 'answers' are illustrated with analytical drawings of case studies from the 20th and 21st centuries in order to inspire the reader's own creativity and to support the design process.

Adapted from the successful BBC Radio 3 series, Cornerstones explores how different rock types give rise to their own distinct flora and fauna, and even affect the food we eat. Some of the authors express a sense of awe in the face of the abyss of time that is locked into the lie of the land, a sense that jostles up against our own fleeting encounters with it. For(...)

Some of the authors express a sense of awe in the face of the abyss of time that is locked into the lie of the land, a sense that jostles up against our own fleeting encounters with it. For example, Sara Maitland tries to grasp the extraordinary journey through space and time that's been undertaken by Lewisian gneiss, one of the most ancient of rocks found in the UK, while Alan Garner captures the ways in which flint has enabled and accompanied human evolution, ever since our ancestors walked out of Africa with it, stone in hand.

Summary:
Parks are importantly fertile places to talk about land. Whether its big national parks, provincial campgrounds, isolated conservation areas, destination parks, or humble urban patches of grass, we tend to speak of parks as unqualified goods. People think of parks as public or common land, and it is a common belief that parks are the best uses of land and are good for everyone. But no park is innocent. Parks are lionized as "natural oases," and urban parks as "pure nature" in the midst of the city -- but that's absurd. Parks are as "natural" as the roads or buildings around them, and just as political. Every park in North America is performing modernity and settler colonialism everyday. Furthermore, parks are not private property, but while they are called ''public'', they are highly regulated spaces that normatively demand and closely control behaviours. Parks are a certain kind of property, and thus creations of law, and they are subject to all kinds of presumptions about what parks are for, and what kinds of people should be doing what kinds of things in them. Parks- as they are currently constituted- are colonial enterprises.
