Résumé:
Kate Orff has an optimistic and transformative message about our world: we can bring together social and ecological systems to sustainably remake our cities and landscapes. Part monograph, part manual, part manifesto, ''Toward an Urban Ecology'' reconceives urban landscape design as a form of activism, demonstrating how to move beyond familiar and increasingly outmoded ways of thinking about environmental, urban, and social issues as separate domains; and advocating for the synthesis of practice to create a truly urban ecology.

Résumé:
Gilles Clément confronts the homogenizing effects of globalization with the diversity of life. As a trained gardener, he places our current knowledge of plant utilization and ecology in the service of the "planetary garden," in which plant species from a tremendous variety of cultures are collected, composed, and carefully overseen in their development by the landscape designer. Clément has taken this approach, which was developed for private gardens, and worked with celebrated architects – most recently, Jean Nouvel – to apply it in his large city parks, including Parc Citroën, the park at the Grande Arche de La Défense, and the museum park at the Musée du Quai Branly in Paris. The high artistic caliber of his designs is attested by exhibitions and installations at the Canadian Centre for Architecture CCA in Montreal and the Centre Pompidou, where they stand beside the work of Daniel Buren, Nan Goldin, and others. Gilles Clément has been presenting his contribution to landscape architecture for decades in more than thirty publications and numerous lectures throughout the world. This is the first comprehensive English-language monograph on his work.

Résumé:
Michel Desvigne est certainement l’architecte paysagiste français le plus marquant sur la scène internationale. Il collabore avec des architectes tels que Richard Rogers, Norman Forster, Renzo Piano, Ieoh Ming Pei, Herzog et de Meuron ou encore Jean Nouvel, et ses projets dotés d’une forte composante conceptuelle sont intimement liés à la notion de géographie. La notion de circulation joue également un grand rôle dans son travail, soulignant l’importance stratégique de l’architecture du paysage dans le domaine de l’urbanisme. Cette monographie thématique analyse les éléments clés du travail de Desvigne à travers différents chapitres consacrés au processus de transformation, à la géographie, au territoire, aux structures urbaines et aux places publiques. Ces notions sont toujours clairement illustrées par une sélection de projets, notamment le Walker Art Center à Minneapolis, le Dallas Center for the Performing Arts, le jardin du ministère de la Culture à Paris et le jardin japonais de la Keio University à Tokyo.

Résumé:
In the summer of 2008, Apeldoorn, the Netherlands' garden city, hosts the inaugural International Garden and Landscape Architecture Triennial--which takes on key issues at the heart of landscape and garden architecture and aims to define and refine the relationship between nature, culture and landscape. Contemporary landscape architecture is called on to create and implement pleasing and ecologically sustainable solutions in situations where different--and often competing--functions exist on the same tract of land. There are a great many people--local residents, ecological and cultural heritage conservationists and academics--for whom these questions are of great concern. Even for the average urban dweller or suburban homeowner, public and private gardens provide society, respite, leisure and an increasingly rare connection with the land. Not just a catalogue overview of the triennial's program, this thoughtful volume includes essays by leading scholars as well as interviews with policy makers and designers.

Résumé:
Amsterdam-based landscape architect Michael van Gessel has been working with, rather than against, nature for the past three decades. He expresses his ethos by quoting the English author and landscape architect Joseph Spence: "Respect for the past, combined with a curiosity for what is and a feeling for what could be. This is the dynamo that starts the engine of the design." Accordingly, van Gessel embraces a diversity of projects, from private gardens to urban planning. He supervised the renovation of Amsterdam's Vondel Park, drew up the master plan to restore the landscaping around Utretch's Castle De Haar and managed to integrate the inner courtyards of the Ministry of Agriculture in The Hague into the urban fabric. This comprehensive volume places van Gessel's myriad approaches into context and illuminates his pivotal role in the formation of contemporary Dutch landscape architecture.

Résumé:
Depuis vingt ans, l’Atelier Le Balto dessine et réalise des parcs et des jardins oscillant aux frontières de l’art et du paysage. « Escales » propose de s’attarder sur certains d’entre eux, à Paris, Berlin ou Göteborg. Des jardins disparus, d’autres qui ne cessent de s’inventer, ou encore des expérimentations à grande échelle. D’escale en escale, le lecteur est amené à découvrir la démarche de l’atelier par des chemins de traverse évoquant tour à tour le dessin, les hivers, les débordements, les savoir-faire. L’ouvrage se propose de témoigner d’une manière d’être paysagiste. En donnant toute sa place aux processus mis en oeuvre dans chacun des projets, en faisant la part belle à l’audace des plantes, « Escales » atteste également de cette belle aventure humaine qu’est la création d’un jardin.
