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.

Résumé:
Fondé en 2000, l’atelier de Julien Descombes et Marco Rampini s’est distingué sur la scène architecturale par son large éventail d’intérêts, du territoire à l’urbanisme, de l’architecture aux ouvrages d’art. Il s’intéresse en particulier aux aménagements paysagers et urbains. En témoignent plusieurs projets de haute qualité : la Turbinenplatz (2000-2003), à Zurich, étonne l’observateur par le contraste entre les aménagements « minimalistes » et le spectacle féerique offert par son éclairage artificiel ; la place Simon Goulart recrée une ambiance festive et conviviale au centre de Genève ; entamé en 2001, le projet de la renaturation sur quatre kilomètres de l’Aire, un cours d’eau canalisé au XXe siècle, se matérialise peu à peu, offrant un nouvel espace de promenade au promeneur contemplatif. La production de l’atelier, territoriale, urbaine et architecturale, s’étend hors des frontières helvétiques, par l’aménagement des rives de la Saône à Lyon-Confluence ou le dessin du Jardin d’Eole à Paris.

Résumé:
Envisioned as a new urban model for sculpture parks, the Seattle Art Museum’s Olympic Sculpture Park is located on the city’s last undeveloped waterfront property—a nine-acre industrial site sliced by train tracks and an arterial road. New York–based architecture, landscape, and urban design firm Weiss/Manfredi has created a continuous constructed landscape for art that rises over the existing infrastructure to reconnect Seattle’s urban core to the revitalized waterfront. The park not only brings art outside the museum walls but also brings the park itself into the landscape of the city. This study offers an opportunity to take a fresh look at the city and explore some hypotheses about the wider meaning of an urban design project.
