Summary:
“Landscape Architecture and Town Planning in The Netherlands 01-03” offers a critical survey of current landscape architectonic and urban planning projects, and enables professional colleagues, clients and other interested parties to keep abreast of the 'state of the art' in landscape architecture and town planning in The Netherlands. The 2001-2003 edition is the fifth in a series of biannual publications. A commission under the leadership of Tineke Blok, comprised of Ruud Brouwers, Ton Hartman, Sylvia Karres, Martin Knuijt and Frits Palmboom, selected over 40 projects which are exemplary in one manner or another. Important themes this time are reconstruction of centres, neighbourhoods and parks, and what is being called the 'new collectivity' in town expansions and city centre projects. A number of analytic essays and opinion pieces by Ivan Nio, Rudi van Ettinger and Frans de Josselin de Jong, among others, precede the selection. The selection is accompanied by a commentary by Ruud Brouwers. Peter Paul Witsen wrote the project descriptions.

Summary:
The two World Wars had a tremendous impact in transforming Canada into a confident and robust industrial nation. With that came a building boom and an artistic explosion that gave young entrepreneurs, designers, artists and architects opportunities to dream big, bold and modern. MEAN CITY celebrates this great boom in architecture and industrial design (1945-1975), with emphasis on the work of John B. Parkin Associates: works that include the Sun Life Building, Yonge Subway and Terminal One at the Toronto International Airport. Also, MEAN CITY takes a closer look at the CNE's distinctive cluster of modern buildings. Beginning in 1947 with the new Grandstand Stadium and culminating in the Better Living Centre in 1962, young architects like Richard Fisher, George Robb and Peter Dickinson were given the opportunity to execute '50s fantastic and futuristic buildings.

Summary:
Studies of the landscape have ranged from discussions of cultural geography at one end and botany at the other, with quite a mix in between. In this book Marc Treib focuses on the subject of the designed landscape, which he takes to include gardens, cemeteries, plazas, as well as a number of other landscape forms. His writings begin with an investigation of order and its perception: How have humans organized landscapes so that the experience of them could be directed, or even "read," decoded, and understood? His writings include analyses of both historical and contemporary works, with a geographic distribution that treats Asia as well as Europe and North America. Certain essays address the question of content in landscape design, others its meaning; others examine the lives and contributions of major figures in the field, for example, cultural landscape historian John Brinckerhoff Jackson and landscape architect Garrett Eckbo; subjects such as influence also receive the author's attention. As a whole, the essays cover a remarkable range, examining issues that few other writers have attempted to explain in detail. Treib brings a designer's eye to his work, paring observation and formal analysis with a more theorical formulation of the ideas from which or by which landscape architecture is produced. Photographs by the author complement his writings, adding a visual dimension to the provocative ideas outlined in the essays. While all of these essays have appeared in print over a period of some twenty-five years, many have been published in specialist journals or in a foreign language. Settings and Stray paths assembles a vital collection of Marc Treib's writings on landscape architecture, for the first time in a single source book.

Summary:
The home is the very place where the intricate relations between architecture, gender, and domesticity become visible. This book investigates the multi-layered themes evoked by the interconnections between these terms. Despite modern architecture's prominent emphasis on housing, the point is often made that modern art and architecture were about the suppression, rather than the glorification of domesticity. The contention of the authors however is that the modern era marked the rise of a new sense of domesticity that developed simultaneously with re-definitions of gender roles and that led to unprecedented articulations of sexuality with domestic space. The essays brought together in this book address this issue through interdisciplinary contributions that enrich architectural theory and history with sociological, anthropological, philosophical and psychoanalytical approaches. They explore the relationship between modern domestic spaces and sexed subjectivities in a broad range of geographical locations of Western modernity.

Summary:
How do cities plan for the unplanned? Do cities plan for recovery from every possible sudden shock? How does one prepare a plan for the recovery after a tragedy, like the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on New York? The book discovers the systematic features that contribute to the success of planning institutions. In cities filled with uncertainty and complexity, planning institutions effectively tackle unexpected and sudden change by relying on the old and the familiar, rather than the new and the innovative. The author argues that planning programs institutions were successful because they were bureaucratic, and relied on standardized routines, rigorous sets of established regimes, familiar programs, and institutionalized hierarchies. Also contrary to popular perception, neither the leaders at the top of the institutions nor those workers at the grassroots level were the most important in the implementation of such routines. The key actors were middle managers, because they knew the institutional structures inside out, what the routines were and how to use them, and were successful go-betweens between national governments and grassroots community groups. Case studies from Mexico City, Los Angeles and New York provide a deeper understanding of urban planning processes. The case studies reveal that systematic institutional analysis helps us understand what works in planning, and why. They also demonstrate the manner in which institutional routines serve as powerful and effective tools for addressing novel situations.

Summary:
Are there significant variations in the ways planners in different nations have influenced urban, regional, and national development? Do such variations arise from differences in planning cultures, meaning the collective ethos and dominant attitude of planners in different nations towards the appropriate roles of the state, market forces, and civil society? How are such professional cultures formed? Are they indigenous and immutable, or do they evolve with social, political, and economic changes both within and outside the national territories? Specifically, what has been the impact of the intensification of global interconnectedness in trade, capital flows, labor migration, and technological connectivity on national planning cultures? "Comparative planning cultures" addresses these questions, drawing on the planning experience in ten nations and at different territorial levels. The result is an understanding of planning culture that is complex and dynamic-in contrast to traditional notions of culture that evoke a sense of immutability and inheritance of unchanging social attributes of planners. The volume concludes that there is no cultural nucleus or core planning culture, no social gene that can be decoded to reveal the cultural DNA of planning practice of any nation.
