Michel Courajoud, Georges Descombes, Peter Latz, Michel Desvigne, Alain Marguerit et Guerric Péré s’interrogent comment, des périphéries aux nouveaux territoires, l’approche par le paysage et la place qu’elle accorde aux logiques géographiques peuvent renouveler la conception des espaces urbains, aider à leur donner du sens ainsi que procurer au plus modeste des utilisateurs un confort et agrément inusité.

Résumé:
"Shallow Water Dictionary" is both a celebration of the richness of our vernacular language and a lament on its passing - and with it, the passing of the words we need to understand our shallow water regions, once the primary landscape of America and now facing extinction, both physical and linguistic.

Résumé:
"Shallow Water Dictionary" is both a celebration of the richness of our vernacular language and a lament on its passing - and with it, the passing of the words we need to understand our shallow water regions, once the primary landscape of America and now facing extinction, both physical and linguistic. This small book is an intriguing and valuable addition to our knowledge of a changing landscape. Literary, etymological, historical, and vernacular investigations of such varied terms as "guzzle," "creek," and "chartreuse," Stilgoe's definitions are lyric explanations of words whose original meanings have been eroded by time.

Résumé:
The landscape architecture of the Nordic countries is just appealing for its aesthetics and high quality as modern Scandinavian architecture. Danish and Swedish landscape architects already numered among the European avant-garde in the first half of the last century. While Spain, France and The Nethelands were moving into the focus of interest in recent decades, a new generation of Scandinavian designers created remarkable landscape architecture - with different emphases in the individual countries. "Topos - European Landscape Magazine" reports regularly on new projects. Notable contributions are collected in this volume to provide a survey of current Scandinavian landscape architecture : Swedish and Finnish national landscapes, new squares in Bergen, architecture and landscape in Iceland, power dams in Norway, parks in Denmark ...

Résumé:
Public parks are among the most important open spaces in our cities, and contribute decisively to their character. They fulfil ecological, social and urban design requirements, and upgrade adjacent neighbourhoods and even whole city districts. New parks are being built all over Europe, in the hearts of cities or out in the periphery, as in the case of Invalidenpark in Berlin and Thames Barrier Park in London, respectively. Some, such as Park André-Citroën, Paris, serve purely recreational purposes. Others, namely the sculpture garden of the Kröller-Muller Museum Park in the Netherland, are devoted to art or to botanic abundance, as the Botanical Garden in Barcelona. The creation of such extensive new green spaces is always the subject of public and professional discourse, no matter whether this concerns La Villette in Paris, Duisburg-Nord Lanscape Park in the Ruhr, or the new park at Munich's old airport in Riem. According, the compact survey is rounded off by theoretical discussion. Based on essays published in "Topos - European landscape magazine" between 1993 and today, the resulting collection of familiar and less-known parks from many European countries provides an excellent overview of current approaches to park and park design.

Résumé:
In the early 1990s the design and creation of the Central Garden at the Getty Center were entrusted to the distinguished contemporary visual artist Robert Irwin. Irwin, a member of California's "light and space" movement, was an unexpected choice for this major commission, and his work has aroused intense interest in the art world and among gardening enthusiasts and visitors to the Getty Center. In "Robert Irwin Getty Garden", Lawrence Weschler offers a lively account of the creation of what Irwin has playfully termed "a sculpture in the form of a garden aspiring to be art." Weschler's narrative is followed by a transcript of conversations in which he and Irwin, in a series of walks through the garden, discuss in detail the decisions, both philosophical and practical, that shaped the making of this major art work in Southern California. The book contains more than 150 colour illustrations, many of them specially commissioned from photographer Becky Cohen.
