Résumé:
A collection of essays in which revered poet Mary Oliver reflects on her willingness, as a young child and as an adult, to lose herself within the beauty and mysteries of both the natural world and the world of literature. Emphasizing the significance of her childhood “friend” Walt Whitman, through whose work she first understood that a poem is a temple, “a place to enter, and in which to feel,” and who encouraged her to vanish into the world of her writing, Oliver meditates on the forces that allowed her to create a life for herself out of work and love. As she writes, “I could not be a poet without the natural world. Someone else could. But not me. For me the door to the woods is the door to the temple.” "Upstream" follows Oliver as she contemplates the pleasure of artistic labor, her boundless curiosity for the flora and fauna that surround her, and the responsibility she has inherited from Shelley, Wordsworth, Emerson, Poe, and Frost, the great thinkers and writers of the past, to live thoughtfully, intelligently, and to observe with passion. Throughout this collection, Oliver positions not just herself upstream but us as well as she encourages us all to keep moving, to lose ourselves in the awe of the unknown, and to give power and time to the creative and whimsical urges that live within us.

Résumé:
«Lorsque nous détruisons un paysage nous sommes un peu plus perdus, car notre rapport au temps, et donc avec nous-mêmes, s’en trouve appauvri et comme effiloché» affirme le poète-écrivain Giorgio Todde. Face à une société effrénée où tout le monde veut gagner du temps, alors que le réel défi consisterait à gagner un autre rapport au temps, cet ouvrage tente de calmer le jeu en repositionnant les fondements d’une pensée de l’espace développée à partir du paysage et de son architecture. Dans ce contexte, l’auteur tisse des échanges privilégiés avec les travaux de l’Agence Latz+Partner. Temps et histoire, corps et tactilité, lieu et parcours, matériaux et restes, sol et profondeur, accueil et ouverture, seuils et limites ainsi qu’avenir du paysage postindustriel sont autant de thématiques alimentant une réflexion autour de cette pensée de l’espace et du projet. Cette approche spécifique prend ses distances du chant des sirènes et des éblouissements passagers qui nous guettent à tout moment. S’opposant à l’effilochement regretté par Todde, les points d’ancrage proposés dans cet ouvrage permettent d’appréhender les forces qui agissent sur l’espace des hommes et concourent à sa transformation. L’auteur montre par cet essai qu’il appartient au groupe restreint de ceux qui écrivent à la fois sur le paysage et sur l’architecture, et dont les réflexions contribuent au nécessaire rapprochement des deux versants d’une même pensée.

Résumé:
Dans le champ du projet, la nature est aujourd’hui sans cesse évoquée. Invoquant l’impératif environnemental et écologique, les architectes promettent de rendre la ville de demain plus accueillante et agréable, grâce à une architecture de plus en plus « végétale ». Des images séduisantes et « verdoyantes », associées à un vocabulaire étranger au champ lexical du projet, cachent l’architecture en tant qu’objet minéral. L’hégémonie et l’abus de la notion de paysage révèlent en réalité des problématiques culturelles profondes. Le retour à l’identité, aux racines, au lieu : un triptyque hégémonique chez les architectes et le grand public, qu’il convient de remettre en question. Politiquement très ambigus dans leurs implications, ces nouveaux mots d’ordres instrumentalisent une version banalisée de la beauté. C’est en ce sens que nous parlons ici de paysages réactionnaires. L’acception esthétisante et nostalgique du paysage transforme l’impératif écologiste en une idéologie dénuée de toute l’urgence politique que la question mériterait. Cet ouvrage, en dressant une histoire synthétique du « dispositif visuel » structurant une certaine idée de Modernité, entend montrer comment cette dérive contemplative du paysage est révélatrice d’une crise de la notion de projet, entendu dans son sens le plus profondément politique. Nous entendons au contraire affirmer une conception du paysage complexe et évolutive, synthétisant plusieurs questions (d’échelle, de temps, d’objectivité/subjectivité), contre toute rhétorique nostalgique de la « belle intégralité perdue ».

Résumé:
A celebrated figure in myth, song, and story, the nightingale has captivated the imagination for millennia, its complex song evoking a prism of human emotions,-from melancholy to joy, from the fear of death to the immortality of art. As philosopher and musician David Rothenberg shows in this searching and personal new book, the nightingale's song is so peculiar in part because it reflects our own cacophony back at us. As vocal learners, nightingales acquire their music through the world around them, singing amidst the sounds of humanity in all its contradictions of noise and beauty, hard machinery and soft melody. Rather than try to capture a sound not made for us to understand, Rothenberg seeks these musical creatures out, clarinet in tow, and makes a new sound with them. He takes us to the urban landscape of Berlin—longtime home to nightingale colonies where the birds sing ever louder in order to be heard—and invites us to listen in on their remarkable collaboration as birds and instruments riff off of each other's sounds. Through dialogue, travel records, sonograms, tours of Berlin's city parks, and musings on the place animal music occupies in our collective imagination, Rothenberg takes us on a quest for a new sonic alchemy, a music impossible for any one species to make alone.

In courses and manuals the generalist or in-depth levels are frequently under-represented, or the attempted comprehensive view becomes too complex. "Landscape for Architects" now offers a fundamental reference work which is as comprehensive as it is practical and as holistic as it is detailed. Created in cooperation with the Architecture Department of Braunschweig Technical University, Landscape for Architects addresses the aspects of landscape architecture: "questions" are raised with abstract schematic drawings, and possible 'answers' are illustrated with analytical drawings of case studies from the 20th and 21st centuries in order to inspire the reader's own creativity and to support the design process.

Some of the authors express a sense of awe in the face of the abyss of time that is locked into the lie of the land, a sense that jostles up against our own fleeting encounters with it. For example, Sara Maitland tries to grasp the extraordinary journey through space and time that's been undertaken by Lewisian gneiss, one of the most ancient of rocks found in the UK, while Alan Garner captures the ways in which flint has enabled and accompanied human evolution, ever since our ancestors walked out of Africa with it, stone in hand.

Résumé:
Parks are importantly fertile places to talk about land. Whether its big national parks, provincial campgrounds, isolated conservation areas, destination parks, or humble urban patches of grass, we tend to speak of parks as unqualified goods. People think of parks as public or common land, and it is a common belief that parks are the best uses of land and are good for everyone. But no park is innocent. Parks are lionized as "natural oases," and urban parks as "pure nature" in the midst of the city -- but that's absurd. Parks are as "natural" as the roads or buildings around them, and just as political. Every park in North America is performing modernity and settler colonialism everyday. Furthermore, parks are not private property, but while they are called ''public'', they are highly regulated spaces that normatively demand and closely control behaviours. Parks are a certain kind of property, and thus creations of law, and they are subject to all kinds of presumptions about what parks are for, and what kinds of people should be doing what kinds of things in them. Parks- as they are currently constituted- are colonial enterprises.
