Résumé:
Tree explores the forms, uses, and alliances of this living object's entanglement with humanity, from antiquity to the present. Trees tower over us and yet fade into background. Their lifespan outstrips ours, and yet their wisdom remains inscrutable, treasured up in the heartwood. They serve us in many ways-as keel, lodgepole, and execution site-and yet to become human,(...)

Their lifespan outstrips ours, and yet their wisdom remains inscrutable, treasured up in the heartwood. They serve us in many ways-as keel, lodgepole, and execution site-and yet to become human, we had to come down from their limbs. In this book Matthew Battles follows the tree's branches across art, poetry, and landscape, marking the edges of imagination with wildness and shadow.

He draws on groundbreaking scientific discoveries to describe how trees are like human families: tree parents live together with their children, communicate with them, support them as they grow, share nutrients with those who are sick or struggling, and even warn each other of impending dangers. Wohlleben also shares his deep love of woods and forests, explaining the amazing processes of life, death, and regeneration he has observed in his woodland. After learning about the complex life of trees, a walk in the woods will never be the same again.

Quetchenbach writes about urban and suburban places as well as wild lands. In the first section of the book, he focuses on suburban neighborhoods, “the places where tensions between human and animal nature, and between differing concepts of the natural world, come to the fore.” In the second section, he juxtaposes these humanized places with Yellowstone National Park, in the context of climate change and other contemporary pressures. This is nature writing at its finest.

Constructed Ecologies presents ecology as critical theory for design, and provides major ideas for design that are supported with solid and imaginative science. Margaret Grose presents wide-ranging new approaches and shows the importance of learning from science for design, of going beyond assumptions, of working in multiple rather than single issues, of disrupting linear design thinking, and of dealing with data.

Des splendeurs à portée de chacun, mais que l’on peut piétiner toute sa vie sans jamais se pencher pour les admirer. On passe ainsi à côté de joies, à coup sûr renouvelables chaque année. Ce plaisir intense exige un apprentissage : savoir reconnaître ces fleurs demande un peu de patience mais se révèle gratifiant au possible, tant est grande la diversité des fleurs sauvages et leurs variations selon les moments de leur vie – et de la nôtre. Pour faciliter cette initiation, j’ai souhaité ici livrer mon rapport personnel à chacune de ces fleurs. » H. R. Ainsi, l’auteur présente avec tendresse plusieurs dizaines de fleurs observées au quotidien sous ses fenêtres et dans les bois de Malicorne, mais que nous pouvons tous croiser au cours de nos promenades : du Millepertuis perforé à l'altière Reine-des-prés, du Pissenlit Dent-de-lion (sur lequel tous les enfants ont soufflé un jour) à la délicate Véronique de Perse en passant par le Bouillon-blanc (surnommé Mars attacks à Malicorne tellement ils est partout) et la Monnaie-du-Pape (dont le nom fait référence à ses fruits plats). Pour chacune de ces fleurs aux noms évocateurs, Hubert Reeves nous dévoile une anecdote, une histoire, une sensation. Puis, à travers ses « Propos botaniques », il nous rappelle la science de la ronde des saisons, de la minutieuse pollinisation, des incroyables copies de l’ADN... Et oui ! C’est plus beau maintenant que l’on sait !

Résumé:
Phenomenology, Materiality, Cybernetics, Palimpsest, Cyborgs, Landscape Urbanism, Typology, Semiotics, Deconstruction - the minefield of theoretical ideas that students must navigate today can be utterly confusing, and how do these theories translate to the design studio? "Landscape theory in design" introduces theoretical ideas to students without the use of jargon or an assumption of extensive knowledge in other fields, and in doing so, links these ideas to the processes of design. In five thematic chapters Susan Herrington explains: the theoretic groundings of the theory of philosophy, why it matters to design, an example of the theory in a work of landscape architecture from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, debates surrounding the theory (particularly as they elaborate modern and postmodern thought) and primary readings that can be read as companions to her text. An extensive glossary of theoretical terms also adds a vital contribution to students’ comprehension of theories relevant to the design of landscapes and gardens.

But today’s landscape architecture explores both of them as a single system, making it possible to see the mutual dependency of these supposedly opposing developments. In view of massive changes in ecological systems, as well as increasing migration and the spread of unplanned human settlements, landscape architecture is also being confronted with global challenges. "Out there: landscape architecture in the global terrain" is a plea to redefine the discipline’s position. Innovative but complex approaches are presented in examples of specific projects from all over the world. Landscape architecture today commits itself to the spatial systems that will shape tomorrow’s society.

Résumé:
Hong Kong’s border with Shenzhen is dissolving. By 2047, the border will likely not exist. Integration with the Mainland will remove distinctions created by the "One Country Two Systems" policy. The uncertainty surrounding what will happen has created anxiety relating to law, identity, freedom of speech, and voting rights. Caught in this debate is the Frontier Closed Area, a 1951 undeveloped buffer zone of estuaries, fish farms, forests, villages and military posts. In contrast, Shenzhen, has exploded into a metropolis of 15 million plus. The book explores this unique border ecology. Design strategies inserted within this ecology promote alternate forms of development. The example widens the discourse on borders to raise critical issues that impact the contemporary city.
