Summary:
Industrialisation, mechanisation and expansion have wrought profound changes on European cities and the surrounding landscapes in the last century. As regards the positive social and healthy development of inhabitants, landscape planning has become an integral part of all urban planning. Sometimes it is possible to truly merge nature and architecture. “best of DETAIL Landscape” presents highlights of the past few years from DETAIL: buildings that disappear into their surroundings, lush meadows revealed as roofscapes only after closer inspection, paths and walkways through jungle-like gardens. Architecture and cities can no longer be counterpoints to nature and the landscape. Rather they should strive to create stunning symbioses.

Summary:
Edelaar Mosayebi Inderbitzin Architects was founded in Zurich in 2005 by Ron Edelaar, Elli Mosayebi, and Christian Inderbitzin. Their work encompasses design and realization of building projects, urban planning, exhibitions, and publications, and the garden has long been a recurring motif, featuring prominently in many of their architectural projects as idea, vision, or built space. In their exhibition Garden at Architektur Galerie Berlin in 2016, the architects foregrounded that theme and, in collaboration with Swiss landscape designer Daniel Ganz, transformed the gallery space into a living garden. This book presents that installation and offers insight into its creation through striking photographs. Essays by the architects and Stephen Bates, and a conversation with the trio conducted by Martin Steinmann explore the meaning of the garden in a selection of their projects also from a historical and theoretical perspective.

Though the effects of climate change are more visible every year, it is still largely not a tangible phenomenon in day-to-day life—which is one of the reasons it’s hard to galvanize action to prevent it.

Summary:
Though the effects of climate change are more visible every year, it is still largely not a tangible phenomenon in day-to-day life—which is one of the reasons it’s hard to galvanize action to prevent it. The Climate Garden experience attempts to solve that problem by enabling people to experience the anticipated effects of climate change firsthand. How will the vegetation common to a place change? What food will we be eating in consequence? This book, illustrated with atmospheric images by photographer Nina Mann, serves as a manual for the implementation of such a public experiment on a local or regional level anywhere in the world. Contributions by human geographers, art historians, and ecologists are complemented by a step-by-step guide to creating a climate garden so that people can begin to truly grasp the reality of the problem and its effects.

Summary:
In the 21st century the architects and designers of urban spaces face great challenges to integrate nature in order to transform 'cement forests' into 'forest cities'. Perhaps the best solution is to go green with vertical landscapes. More than just a decorative trend, this is a means of bringing life and greenery into metropolitan areas by using different framing systems to create compositions of plant life and adapt them to diverse settings, including offices, factories, parking lots, hotels, and installations within larger parks. Enriched by the reflections of the inventive protagonists of this fertile new aesthetic, Going Green with Vertical Landscapes is organised by theme and canvases early experiments conducted by famous design companies such as Vo Trong Nghia Architects (VTN), Fytogreen Australia and RYUICHI ASHIZAWA ARCHITECTS & associates. All of these projects combine man-made materials, recent technologies, and diverse types of vegetation to conquer the vertical dimension.
