Summary:
Composite Landscapes examines one of landscape architecture's most recognizable representational forms, the montage view. The volume gathers work from a select group of influential contemporary artists and a dozen of the world's leading landscape architects. These composite views reveal practices of photomontage depicting the conceptual, experiential and temporal dimensions of landscape. Composite Landscapes illustrates the analogue origins of a method now rendered ubiquitous through digital means. In revisiting the composite landscape view as a cultural form, this book illuminates the contemporary status of the photographically constructed image for the design disciplines and beyond.

Summary:
As traces left behind by the last 200 years of profound historical change, architecture and photography contribute both to the contemporary skyline and to our image of the past. Their common history provides an indispensable background to discussions of what has been called the contemporary past modernity considered as an open problem rather than a closed historical(...)

Summary:
As traces left behind by the last 200 years of profound historical change, architecture and photography contribute both to the contemporary skyline and to our image of the past. Their common history provides an indispensable background to discussions of what has been called the contemporary past modernity considered as an open problem rather than a closed historical period. In both cases, an irregular border can be traced between the discursive and its opposite, the material. The intersection offers an interesting confrontation between traditional academic historiography and the artistic application of historical perspectives, an exploration of the contemporary past.

Summary:
This publication looks closely on transforming existing real estate by promoting creative clusters, starting with specific architectures that are examined using an open-minded approach. What are the economic, political and design mechanisms used to build and legitimise them? What city concept is designed and built in these spaces? Can we identify recurrent features, general issues, and compositional orders and logic? The book discusses creative clusters as fertile ground for research and action involving the architectural and urban project and outlines several distinctive traits of professional and design practices in China in the last decade. In particular, the book focus on three recurrent methods used by architectural projects to reconfigure space—Collecting icons, Shifting scale, Bounding borders.
