Attraverso una serie di approcci differenziati il volume ricostruisce la storia del Foro Italico dalle origini – la concezione eminentemente paesaggistica di Del Debbio – agli sviluppi successivi, dominati dall’emergere di importanti volumi fuori-terra – la sede del Partito Nazionale Fascista (poi Ministero degli Esteri), lo Stadio Olimpico (progressivamente imponente),(...)

Summary:
Attraverso una serie di approcci differenziati il volume ricostruisce la storia del Foro Italico dalle origini – la concezione eminentemente paesaggistica di Del Debbio – agli sviluppi successivi, dominati dall’emergere di importanti volumi fuori-terra – la sede del Partito Nazionale Fascista (poi Ministero degli Esteri), lo Stadio Olimpico (progressivamente imponente), lo stadio centrale del tennis (di cui è prevista la copertura) – che quella concezione originaria profondamente modificano. Il libro è dunque uno strumento prezioso tanto per la conoscenza del complesso, quanto in funzione dell’ambizioso percorso di riqualificazione che Sport e Salute ha avviato.

Summary:
Shifting away from the celebration of greenhouses as technical mastery and exceptional architectural feats, "Greenhouse stories" is an invitation to critically look at greenhouses as controversial (agri)cultural production tools. Re-examining them from a social, historical, environmental and creative perspective, the essays and interviews featured in this book highlight stories of vegetal displacement, colonial appropriation and pollution. Yet they also help us to understand that greenhouses can be fertile spaces for women's empowerment and the nurturing of socially-engaged and eco-conscious projects. At a time of great anthropocentric pressure on the planet, we believe that questioning the greenhouse as a symbol and a tool can help us re-establish more humble and meaningful connections with the Earth and its living communities.

Summary:
From the 1950s to the 1980s, the open-air playground was a social laboratory. Innovative, wacky, and educational playground designs emerged in European and American cities, as well as elsewhere around the world. Artists, landscape designers, architects, and activists sought to provide children with the best possible place to play, while also reimagining cities and communities as a whole. This expanded new edition revives the wealth of ideas of that period to inspire us today. It offers many previously unpublished images, numerous new portraits—especially of female protagonists of the time—as well as findings from the latest research on playground design.

Summary:
A phenomenology of the mall: If the mall makes us feel bad, why do we keep going back? In a world poisoned by capitalism, is shopping what makes life worth living? Kate Black grew up in West Edmonton Mall – a mall on steroids, notorious for its indoor waterpark, deadly roller coaster, and controversial dolphin shows. But everyone has a favourite mall, or a mall that is their own personal memory palace. It's a place people love to hate and hate to love – a site of pleasure and pain, of death and violence, of (sub)urban legend. Blending a history of shopping with a story of coming of age in North America's largest and strangest mall, "Big mall" investigates how these structures have become the ultimate symbol of late-capitalist dread – and, surprisingly, a subversive site of hope.
