Résumé:
Jadis bien circonscrite dans ses murs, la ville en tant qu'unité administrative, politique ou territoriale fermée n'est plus qu'un souvenir. Mais, quelle que soit l'échelle, ce souvenir de ville traverse, inégalement, le centre et les périphéries. Comment, dans l'éclatement, redéployer l'effet ville ? Que ce soit du côté du «Grand Paris» ou en d'autres lieux (Berlin,(...)

Résumé:
Jadis bien circonscrite dans ses murs, la ville en tant qu'unité administrative, politique ou territoriale fermée n'est plus qu'un souvenir. Mais, quelle que soit l'échelle, ce souvenir de ville traverse, inégalement, le centre et les périphéries. Comment, dans l'éclatement, redéployer l'effet ville ? Que ce soit du côté du «Grand Paris» ou en d'autres lieux (Berlin, Barcelone, Roubaix, Dunkerque, Saint-Étienne, Moscou...), ce numéro propose que la notion de paysage urbain soit prise au sérieux : que le paysage, au lieu de servir de supplément d'âme à la violence technocratique ou à l'autisme du discours architectural, devienne vraiment le principe d'organisation des territoires à l'âge de leur redéfinition.

Résumé:
Infrastructure is currently a much discussed notion in the field of landscape architecture. It regards the entire urban and rural space as a network that calls for an integrated planning approach. Natural and man-made infrastructures are viewed as forming a single, overarching whole. The book examines this new and ecologically sustainable approach. It also documents thirteen international examples. The Infrastructure Research Initiative is part of the SWA Group, which was founded in 1957 by Peter Walker and Hideo Sasaki and has since developed into one of the largest and most important landscape planning agencies in the United States. Among the projects of the firm that have captured international attention are the technologically innovative roof domes for Renzo Piano's California Academy of Science in San Francisco ( 2008 ), which were planted with indigenous flora.

Résumé:
“When walking, or perhaps more rarely when sauntering on horseback, one is in direct contact with surroundings, reifying a connection to natural rhythms. To forget the season, soil, and sky is to deny existence.” So writes landscape architect Roger G. Courtenay in this publication. Whether walking the Piedmont of Virginia, canoeing the French Broad River near Asheville, North Carolina, driving along the Blue Ridge Parkway, or exploring Thomas Jefferson’s Academical Village, Courtenay turns to his local countryside for inspiration. In this book the author delves into the nuances of his craft, inviting us to share his encounters with a myriad of landscapes and revealing how he then interprets these experiences in his sketches.

Résumé:
In this walking meditation, forest ranger and writer William Tweed takes us to California’s spectacular High Sierra to discover a new vision for american national parks as they approach their 100th anniversary facing dramatic changes. Tweed, who worked among the Sierra Nevada’s big peaks and big trees for more than thirty years, has now hiked more than 200 miles along California’s John Muir Trail in a personal search for answers : How do we address the climate change we are seeing even now — in melting glaciers in Glacier National Park, changing rainy seasons on Mt Rainer, and more fire in the West’s iconic parks. Should we intervene where we can to preserve biodiversity? Should the parks merely become ecosystem museums that exhibit famous landscapes and species? Tweed weaves his experiences along this high-altitude trail together with reflections on the people and ideas that created the parks and on their status and meaning today. Asking how we can make these magnificent parks relevant for the next generation, Tweed’s journey ultimately shows why we must do just that.

Résumé:
Landscapes are all around us, but most of us know very little about how they have developed, what goes on in them, and how they react to changing climates, tectonics, and human activities. Examining what landscape is, and how we use a range of ideas and techniques to study it, Andrew Goudie and Heather Viles demonstrate how scientists have built on classic methods--pioneered by the great researchers of the nineteenth century--to shed new light on our planet. Using examples from around the world, including New Zealand, the Tibetan Plateau, and the deserts of the Middle East, they examine some of the key controls on landscape today such as tectonics and climate, as well as humans and the living world. They also discuss some major "landscape detectives" from the past, including Charles Darwin, who did some important, but often overlooked, research on landscape. Concluding with the cultural importance of landscape, and exploring how this has led to the conservation of much "earth heritage," they delve into the future and look at how we can predict the response of landscapes to the projected climate change.

Résumé:
C'est l'histoire des raisons pour lesquelles la société urbaine des pays riches en est venue à idéaliser le modèle de l'habitation individuelle au plus près de la nature. De ses plus anciennes expressions mythologiques jusqu'à l'urbain diffus contemporain, cette histoire couvre plus de trois millénaires. Elle aboutit aujourd'hui à un paradoxe insoutenable : la quête de " la nature " (en termes de paysage) détruit son objet même : la nature (en termes d'écosystèmes et de biosphère). Associée à l'automobile, la maison individuelle est effectivement devenue le motif directeur d'un genre de vie dont l'empreinte écologique démesurée entraîne une surconsommation insoutenable à long terme des ressources de la nature.
