Summary:
Grant Jones, founding principal of the noted landscape architecture firm Jones – Jones, has practiced ecological design for more than 30 years and has been a pioneer in river planning, scenic highway design, zoo design, and landscape aesthetics. The latest addition to our successful Source Books in Landscape Architecture series, Grant Jones/Jones – Jones ILARIS, focuses on Jones's "green print" plan for Puget Sound in Washington State. Working in collaboration with the Trust for Public Lands and using new GIS technology, Jones – Jones developed the software tool ILARIS. This CAD-like tool helps to evaluate the aesthetic resources of landscape regions and is used as a basis for future planning. The Puget Sound model can be applied to other landscapes at risk. Including an interview with Grant Jones, critical essays discussing his work, as well as numerous diagrams, plans, and photographs, Grant Jones/Jones – Jones ILARIS is a thorough study of an important project.

Summary:
L'expression "Territoires équivoques", le titre de ce deuxième volume de la série Jeunes Architectures, n'est pas sans évoquer la dimension transnationale d'Artgineering. Aglaée Degros est belge. Stefan Bendiks est allemand, Leur agence, installée à Rotterdam dans un rez-de-jardin à deux pas de l'Institut Néerlandais d'Architecture (NAi), conçoit des projets destinés aux Pays-Bas, mais également à la Wallonie et à la Flandre. C'est toutefois à la spécificité de la pratique d'Artgineering que renvoie ce,"Territoires équivoques", Comme l'annonce le nom même de l'agence, cette pratique que l'on pourrait qualifier un peu rapidement de transversale, met à mal l'acception communément admise de la figure de l'architecte et déborde largement du cadre de prédilection traditionnel de l'architecture. Entre urbanisme, intervention artistique, marketing et consultance, le travail d'Artgineering se déploie au-delà des limites disciplinaires. Cette pratique "transversale" n'est cependant pas le fruit d'un processus cumulatif qui étendrait peu à peu le champ d'intervention de l'architecte par le truchement de collaborations avec divers spécialistes en réponse aux exigences de la commande ou par opportunisme stratégique, Ce qui distingue le travail d'Artgineering des pratiques de nombre d'agences d'architecture s'adonnant au multidisciplinaire, c'est qu'ici, la dimension équivoque est présente d'emblée, dès l'amont du projet et de manière exclusive...

Summary:
Landscape ecology focuses on spatial heterogeneity, or the idea that where things are and where they are in relation to other things can have important consequences for a wide range of phenomena. Landscape ecology integrates humans with natural ecosystems and brings a spatial perspective to such fields as natural resource management, conservation, and urban planning. The thirty-seven papers included in this volume present the origins and development of landscape ecology and encompass a variety of perspectives, approaches, and geographies. The editors begin with articles that illuminate the discipline's diverse scientific foundations, such as L. S. Berg's keystone paper outlining a geoecological analysis based on soil science, physical geography, and geology. Next they include selections exemplifying landscape ecologists' growing awareness of spatial pattern, the different ways they incorporated scale into their work, the progression of landscape ecology from a qualitative to a quantitative discipline, and how concepts from landscape ecology have come to permeate ecological research and influence land-use policy, conservation practices, landscape architecture, and geography. Together these articles provide a solid introduction to what is now widely recognized as an important area of research and application that encourages new ways of thinking about natural and human-dominated ecosystems.

Summary:
Wartime gardens are dramatic examples of what landscape architect Kenneth Helphand calls defiant gardens—gardens created in extreme social, political, economic, or cultural conditions. Illustrated with ninety-five compelling archival photographs and illustrations, some from the Gulf Wars, this remarkable book examines gardens of war in the twentieth century—a period of the deadliest wars in human history—including gardens soldiers built inside and behind the trenches in World War I; gardens built in the Warsaw and other ghettos under the Nazis during World War II; gardens in the POW and civilian internment camps of both world wars; and gardens created by Japanese Americans held at U.S. internment camps during World War II. Proving that gardens are far more than peaceful respites from the outside world, "Defiant gardens" is a thought-provoking analysis of why people build and work in gardens. Helphand portrays the dramatic range of circumstances in which people have created gardens—as a means of nourishment, as a pursuit of beauty, and as an expression of hope. This history of gardens during wartime documents how gardens have humanized landscapes and experience, even under the most dire conditions.

D'Homère à Marguerite Duras, de Virgile à Marcel Proust, de Gustave Flaubert à Amélie Nothomb, de Mme de Sévigné à Renaud Camus, ils sont omniprésents dans la littérature, toutes époques et genres confondus. Imaginaires pour les uns (la Génèse, Esope, La Fontaine), objets de traités savants pour d'autres (Walopole), mais aussi lieux affectifs (Chateaubriand, George Sand, Colette), moyens d'expression et de pouvoir (Louis XIV), de connaissance (Jardin des Plantes), de loisir (parc des Buttes-Chaumont), ils suscitent l'engouement et parfois la passion. Structurés ou fous, ils ont tous un même goût de liberté qui nous accroche plus ou moins consciemment à notre enfance, et à celle de l'humanité...
