Summary:
Hard Surface is a lyrical, informative and amusing approach to what we encounter every day and often take for granted. Stopping at points of human, geographical and historical interest, it is also a journey through a country’s past and present, celebrating as it goes along our search for meaning and nationhood. As the first non-fiction celebration of the Canadian road, Hard Surface takes the reader on a brisk ride that joyfully reveals the road to be an extension of our search for truth, meaning and a better life, demonstrating that the real value of the road may not be the transportation of goods and cargo, but the search for ourselves, and the gathering and spreading of stories across a great and vast land.

Summary:
When cars emerged in the last century, people began connecting their cities through roadways. In the course of time, a narrow grid of roads originated. But what permits great mobility is, in the urban context, a barrier to urban relations and movement flows beyond the use of cars. The urban potential lying in these residual spaces is explored by the experimental design(...)

Summary:
When cars emerged in the last century, people began connecting their cities through roadways. In the course of time, a narrow grid of roads originated. But what permits great mobility is, in the urban context, a barrier to urban relations and movement flows beyond the use of cars. The urban potential lying in these residual spaces is explored by the experimental design studio of professor Lafranchi at Burgdorf University for Applied Sciences, Switzerland. Documented in this book, the project of a research center and a world of experience “Fascination of automobile and traffic” by Lukas Ingold and Fabio Tammaro is based, in its constructive design, on concepts of automotive engineering as well as the parameters of the loop-shaped dynamics of a highway hub with its streets, ramps, bridges, and residual surfaces.

Summary:
Airports have never been more central to the life of cities, yet they have remained relatively peripheral in design discourse. In spite of this, however, landscape architects in recent decades have reaffirmed their historic assertions about the airfield as a site of design through a range of practices. Airport Landscape: Urban Ecologies in the Aerial Age presents these practices through case study projects for the ecological enhancement of operating airports and the conversion of abandoned airports. This material supports the claim of an augmented role for landscape architects commensurate with their desire to be considered urbanists of the aerial age. The book gathers work from the eponymous exhibition that was held at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, presenting the airport as a site of and for landscape.
