Résumé:
Today, contemporary landscape design is increasingly drawing from ideas of sustainability and ecological stability. Not in fact new, the foundations of this approach stem from early twentieth century Germany, where architects and planners were already beginning to use the design concepts which are now referred to as "green." This ecological school of thought was driven by modernist landscape architect Leberecht Migge (1881-1935). Working with significant modernist architects of the age including Martin Elsaesser, Ernst May, Bruno Taut, and Martin Wagner Migge was responsible for some of the most important housing and planning projects of the age; the mass housing settlements, or Gro siedlungen, of Frankfurt Main and Berlin. Using "biotechnic" principles to integrally link dwelling and garden, Migge was able to recycle household waste to grow foodstuffs through the use of innovative infrastructure and open space planning. Also a skilled park and garden designer, he drew together green and architectural elements in his "garden-architectonic" approach.

Résumé:
Collaborateur puis associé, propagateur de ses idées, André Wogenscky (1916-2004) a longtemps été dans l'ombre de la haute stature de Le Corbusier. Il participe et mène à bien de grands projets corbuséens (unités d'habitation de Marseille et de Rezé) puis en terminera d'autres comme à Firminy. Bien que fortement inspiré par l'esprit et l'humanisme du maître, Wogenscky développe dès 1955 une oeuvre architecturale propre marquée par des bâtiments emblématiques en France (maison de la culture de Grenoble, préfecture des Hauts-de-Seine) et des projets de grande ampleur au Proche-Orient et au Japon. Il accorde une attention extrême aux paysages, aux usages, aux perceptions spatiales et colorées qui stimulent la vie et modifie le quotidien, car pour lui "Tout en architecture est dicté par l'homme, pour l'homme. ".

Résumé:
Fragments of Wilderness City reviews the work of renowned architect Brian Avery. This publication presents perspectives from academics and architecture historians, exploring projects in India and the Middle East; major cultural commissions such as the National Film Theatre, the Museum of the Moving Image, London Transport Museum, and the Royal Academy of the Dramatic Arts' headquarters in Bloomsbury, London; masterplanning work for Oxford Street in London, The Horniman Museum, and the Avenue of the Emirates in Abu Dhabi. Alongside profiles of their innovative work in product design and within the workplace is an essay by director Bryan Avery, providing insights into his notion of the sustainable 'wilderness city'. This manifesto sets out a vision of an accountable architectural and planning approach to the contemporary city, situated in a natural landscape and taking on board references to both the walled cities of the medieval period and the self-contained urban environments of the twentieth century 'new towns'.
