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(...)

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.

Summary:
When Claude Monet settled in Giverny in 1883, he designed a flower garden full of impressive color compositions for observing light and time. The American artist Sarah Schorr understands Monet’s garden as a creative, living laboratory. Her images in this book were inspired by the movement of water in Monet’s garden – from the tiny teardrops of rain to the steady stream(...)

Summary:
When Claude Monet settled in Giverny in 1883, he designed a flower garden full of impressive color compositions for observing light and time. The American artist Sarah Schorr understands Monet’s garden as a creative, living laboratory. Her images in this book were inspired by the movement of water in Monet’s garden – from the tiny teardrops of rain to the steady stream feeding the water lily pond. By collecting fallen, injured flowers in Monet’s historic green spaces, Schorr transforms them into striking works of art by bringing them to life with paint, light, paper, water, and photography: experimental still lifes. "Ephemeral Field Journal" is an evocative artist’s journal in which Schorr evokes the fragility of nature and illuminates the complex interplay of climate change, beauty, and loss. On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Monet’s death, the project will be exhibited internationally in 2025 and 2026.

Summary:
This book aims to encourage an awareness of sustainability as it is implemented across all areas of planning and design, and the ability to think and act on this knowledge. It will explore in genuine depth the sustainable strategies that could be applied, along with the practical work of key figures in the built environment, setting these against historical experiences and traditional cultures. It also aimes to revive the discourse around these subjects. Achieving this will require the involvement of architects and structural, energy and environmental engineers, construction businesses and specialists, research institutes and universities. The five chapters and 333 show-cased projects reflect important stages in the architectural and engineering-based design process, stages which need to be addressed when dealing with sustainable strategies in the built environment.
