Résumé:
Best known as the firm chosen to work on the World Trade Center Memorial, the landscape architecture projects of Peter Walker and Partners vary both in scale and program: urban design and planning, corporate headquarters and university campuses, parks, plazas, museums, and gardens. Exploring the relationships of art, culture, and context, Walker and the members of the firm re-form the landscape, challenging traditional concepts of design. Through drawing, model-making, computer graphics, and full-size mock-ups, the office moves from defining the program to experimenting with materials and forming the space. The design process, therefore, faithfully reflects the constant exchange occurring with clients, architects, and consultants. A knowledge of history and tradition and an understanding of contemporary needs and patterns of living allow the firm to produce landscapes that are both timeless and unique. This extensive monograph opens with a short essay about the organization and history of the office, the importance of apprenticeship in landscape architectural education, and the particular way that PWP artfully practices the craft of landscape architecture. It features nearly 300 images (with 3 gatefolds) of the firm’s work since 1997, including 16 built landscape projects in the United States, Europe, and Asia. Seven projects in progress include the American Embassy in Beijing, several university campuses, and the World Trade Center Memorial. The 10 site-planning and urban design projects include Millennium Parklands in Sydney, Australia, and the Novartis Headquarters in Basel, Switzerland. Each section begins with a brief introduction by Walker, and the book concludes with four competition entries, including one for 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Résumé:
The past decade has witnessed a profound transformation in European landscape architecture, away from the formal, centrally-planned garden art that hallmarks traditional European parks, toward projects, often the result of interdisciplinary cooperation between architects, artists, and landscape architects, of a more informal, almost exploratory, nature. "In Gardens" examines more than thirty of the most influential recent landscape projects in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, France, Spain, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland, and from designers like Kathryn Gustafson, Dani Karavan, and Charles Jencks. In the process, this panoramic book illuminates a new paradigm of garden design in Europe and provides a fount of inspiration for landscape designers everywhere.

Résumé:
The mysterious world beneath the ocean's surface has captivated people for centuries - the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, and ancient Chinese all kept fish in their homes for purposes other than the culinary. But it was not until the nineteenth-century invention of the aquarium that the deep was truly domesticated, offering the curiously inclined a chance to invent their very own exotic sea world within their own walls. In this fascinating history of the aquarium, Bernd Brunner traces the development of this most wonderful invention, giving insight into the cultural and social circumstances that accompanied its swift rise in popularity. Brunner tells a compelling story of obsession, beauty, discovery, and delight, from the aquarium's humble origins as a tool for scientific observation to the Victorian era's elaborately decorated containers of oceanic curiosity, to the great public aquaria of the twentieth century.

On the mountain's summit he was as far as he could be from the 'world's stage all around'.

Résumé:
Standing on Mont Ventoux near Avignon, the fourteenth-century poet Petrarch experienced an entirely new sensation that he described as 'stepping out of time and space'. On the mountain's summit he was as far as he could be from the 'world's stage all around'. The huge distance reduced reference points to insignificant specks down below, and everything in the panorama seemed motionless, dispelling any notion of time. Petrarch had placed himself outside reality. That is what makes aerial photography so fascinating, writes Clemens M. Steenbergen, professor of landscape architecture at Delft University of Technology, in his introduction. The higher the viewpoint the greater the visual control and the more abstract the image. We can see whether a landscape has been shaped by man or is pure nature, how space and mass form one composition. Aerial photographer and landscape architect Peter van Bolhuis captures on camera the Dutch landscape: areas devoted to agriculture, forestry, nature, infrastructure and urban development. The pictures show us the achievements of a half century of landscape architecture. We see a landscape in which everything is precisely measured and demarcated, everything is planned and calculated, with no space left unattended. We see, writes Tracy Metz in one of the essays, 'a landscape that is the sum of negotiations about ever smaller parts'.

Résumé:
À l’ère des mégapoles, de l’agriculture hors sol, des manipulations génétiques et du contrôle du territoire, il est tentant de dire que le mot de nature ne désigne plus rien. Pourtant, il fonctionne en continu comme un opérateur de nostalgie. Ici, dans ce numéro 3, nous avons voulu réfléchir, non en prétendant qu’existe et que doit être sauvée une essence de la nature ou du naturel, mais en observant ou en décrivant des fonctionnements ou en ouvrant des chemins de traverse : la forêt et la ville, les jardins anglais revisités, des projets pour un tramway en banlieue, une abbaye en Normandie, le cube rouge dans la vallée, etc. Textes et images en opus incertum dans ces cahiers où paysages et disciplines se croisent et se saluent mutuellement.

Résumé:
Depuis dix ans, la Provence connaît une vague exceptionnelle de créations de jardins, se plaçant désormais au cœur des tendances actuelles. Tous les genres s'y expriment (paysage miniature, jardin narratif, minimalisme, nouveau pittoresque, jardin-sculpture, jardin-paysage, /and art...), révélant un autre jardin provençal, à la fois contemporain et fortement lié au terroir, loin du modèle galvaudé. Des "petits jardins secrets" aux vastes "projets partagés", ces nouveaux jardins sont de véritables objets d'art, paysages dans le paysage en accord avec l'esprit des lieux et porteurs de la mémoire du site. Louisa Jones examine en détail trente des plus beaux de ces "paysages jardinés" réalisés par les meilleurs paysagistes.
