Summary:
The sensing, processing, and visualizing that are currently in development within the environment boldly change the ways design and maintenance of landscapes are perceived and conceptualised. This is the first book to rationalize interactive architecture and responsive technologies through the lens of contemporary landscape architectural theory. 'Responsive Landscapes' frames a comprehensive view of design projects using responsive technologies and their relationship to landscape and environmental space. Divided into six insightful sections, the book frames the projects through the terms; elucidate, compress, displace, connect, ambient, and modify to present and construct a pragmatic framework in which to approach the integration of responsive technologies into landscape architecture.

Summary:
Modern architects are often condemned for a seeming disregard of site considerations such as climate, topography, and existing vegetation. Noted landscape and architectural historian Marc Treib counters this prevailing view in an authoritative and unprecedented survey of 20th-century buildings and their landscapes. Exploring a range of architectural, philosophical, and theoretical approaches, Treib investigates the site strategies of five prominent modern-period architects: Frank Lloyd Wright (1867–1959), Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886–1969), Richard Neutra (1892–1970), Alvar Aalto (1898–1976), and Luis Barragán (1902–1988).

Summary:
Comme l'illustrent "L'École d'Athènes" de Raphaël ou "L'Apothéose d'Homère" d'Ingres, la Renaissance marque l'avènement de l'artiste, qui revendique désormais un statut intellectuel et social comparable à celui des philosophes-poètes. Mais le travail manuel reste au cœur de son activité : matériaux et pratiques artistiques sont engagés dans l'œuvre au même titre que la vision poétique. L'idée artistique elle-même ne naîtrait-elle donc pas aussi du maniement physique des outils et des matériaux ? Et l'architecture, semblant confinée dans une pensée isolée de la fabrication matérielle, pourrait-elle s'intégrer dans cette perspective progressivement admise pour les autres arts ? Les questionnements qui traversent ce livre invitent à une réflexion sur le rôle de la matière, des instruments et des gestes dans le travail artistique, mais aussi sur le dialogue qu'entretiennent les arts entre eux, favorisé par l'utilisation de matériaux communs, à travers une étude de quelques œuvres majeures de l'architecture de la Renaissance italienne.

By investigating a series of recent crises in each of these areas, Securing the Past shows how their underlying justifications relate closely to one another. Paul Eggert shows how they have been philosophically undermined by postmodern theories and charts another, richer way forward to a new future for the past.

The recent collaboration between Gian Piero Frassinelli – founder of the Florentine collective Superstudio – and 2A+P/A an architectural practice based in Rome – relaunched a long-established, yet generally overlooked, debate on the relationship between architecture and anthropology. Moving away from a historical or scientific perspective to embrace the point of view of the project, the exhibition Savage Architecture genealogically reconstructs the ethos of such collaboration in four episodes. The outcome is a journey through the imaginative potential of the anthropological gaze in constructing both meaning and a method for the architectural project as an alternative to the dominant belief in the economic and technological reasons.
