The projects selected are grouped according to scene of origin: ·Industrial areas ·Peripheral voids ·Infrastructures ·Waterfronts Each project is located: · within surroundings of 60 km2 at a scale of 1:20,000 · within surroundings of 3.5 km2 at a scale of 1:10,000. Each intervention undergoes a layer analysis: ·water ·vegetation ·buildings ·routes ·rooms ·activities The 20 most used strategies arise from the comparison of all the projects. This is the first book published by a+t ediciones in the "In common" series, which came about in 2005 in the pages of a+t magazine.

Résumé:
Cette collection d'extraordinaires projets d'espaces publics est un très bon tour d'horizon des tendances actuelles de la conception urbaine. A l'image du jardin de pierre où les enfants sont invités à jouer avec cet intriguant terrain créé par les portes d'embarquement tirées tout droit d'un pavillon d'aéroport, chaque projet peut être exploré grâce aux photographies couleurs, croquis, plans, et commentaires. Les nouvelles formes d'existence sociale ont données lieu à une augmentation de l'intérêt porté sur la définition de l'espace urbain. Nos villes ont dors et déjà passées la limite qui divise les espaces habitables et les lieux de vie, il devient difficile de concevoir un bon plan de développement urbain qui ne contienne pas une bonne conception des espaces publics qui en font partis. Ce volume a rassemblé 20 des meilleurs exemples de conception d'espaces urbains marqués du tampon indélébile des professionnels les plus connus internationalement. Chacun d'entre eux est documenté par de somptueuses photographies couleurs, et de dessins qui permettent de capturer l'ensemble de la complexité du projet, de ses ressources techniques et de ses innovations esthétiques. Ce livre, qui est le fruit d'une profonde étude de cas deviendra sans aucun doute un ouvrage de référence de grande valeur pour tous les architectes, les designers urbains et les étudiants à la recherche des dernières tendances qui ont lieu dans le champ de la conception d'espaces urbains.

Résumé:
The term "guerrilla" may bring to mind a small band of armed soldiers, moving in the dead of night on a stealth mission. In the case of guerrilla gardening, the soldiers are planters, the weapons are shovels, and the mission is to transform an abandoned lot into a thing of beauty. Once an environmentalist's nonviolent direct action for inner-city renewal, this approach to urban beautification is spreading to all types of people in cities around the world. These modern-day Johnny Appleseeds perform random acts of gardening, often without the property owner's prior knowledge or permission. Typical targets are vacant lots, railway land, underused public squares, and back alleys. The concept is simple, whimsical and has the cheeky appeal of being a not-quite-legal call to action. Dig in some soil, plant a few seeds, or mend a sagging fence - one good deed inspiring another, with win-win results all around.

Résumé:
Leisure has a huge impact on European landscapes. Contemporary Western life has given rise to all sorts of mobilities, flexibilities and incentives that fuel the sometimes dramatic changes in the landscape we are witnessing today. Can the relationship between leisure and landscape be a productive one and, if so, under what conditions? This complex relationship was the subject of a European project, instigated by Dirk Sijmons, Dutch Government Advisor on Landscape, involving thirty universities from twenty countries. This book presents the resulting design proposals in facts, figures, essays, illustrations, bibliography, maps, and photography by Martin Parr.

Résumé:
Urban gardening has become recently popular. We only have to think of the riverbanks restored to their natural state, the urban gardening and urban farming projects springing up all over the world, the green skyscrapers (prospective and actually built) such as, for instance, the utopian farmscrapers of Vincent Callebout, the conversion of former high rail lines into green recreation spaces, the meditation gardens of Piet Oudolf, and the vertical gardens of Patrick Blanc. These days, we feel close to greenery, just as we feel close to our pets. We tend and nurture the seeds and stalks, the leaves and flowers, the shrubs and grasses, the bushes and trees, with a matchless solicitude. These culturally coded natural phenomena also have therapeutic qualities, because they offer us self-determination and the possibility to share in social development. This is nothing less than the reintegration of the first, primal nature into the context of the conditions that have become ubiquitous today into the context of what has, today, become 'second nature'. For some people, such as the campaigners of 'Guerilla Gardening', these plants, wild and domestic, provide a way of criticizing the system; others, such as vertical planners of wall gardens like Ken Yeang, utopia-infatuated and bitten by the green bug, presumably see themselves as an avant-garde working in harmony with the system. Volker Fischer was deputy director of the Deutsches Architekturmuseum in Frankfurt am Main for over ten years. From 1994 to 2012 he has built up a new design department at the Museum for Applied Arts in Frankfurt. At the same time, he taught on the history of architecture and design at the Hochschule fur Gestaltung in Offenbach.

'A vertical forest' is the book in which Stefano Boeri said the project of what has become one of the most emblematic buildings in Milan. An attempt to introduce a concept in architecture that until now it has been completely alien: biodiversity. The vertical forest is indeed not only a building thought to be inhabited by humans, but also from other species (birds, insects) that the unstoppable dominance of the concrete has been driven from our city.

Résumé:
L’observation des territoires urbains contemporains fait apparaître un paradoxe singulier. Si les politiques publiques s’efforcent de freiner la consommation de sol et les pressions sur le paysage par la promotion de stratégies pour juguler l’étalement urbain, un stock considérable de terrains situés au coeur des villes et des agglomérations n’en demeure pas moins à l’abandon. Ces friches urbaines, qui abritaient autrefois des activités industrielles, ferroviaires, militaires ou infrastructurelles, offrent pourtant de précieuses réserves de terrains constructibles. Selon certaines estimations récentes, une surface équivalant au double de la superficie d'une ville comme Genève sommeille actuellement au coeur des territoires urbains en Suisse. Plusieurs exemples de projets de reconversion ont mis en évidence la pertinence des démarches visant à régénérer les friches urbaines en quartiers animés, attractifs pour l’habitat et propices au déploiement d’activités économiques, sociales et culturelles. Cet ouvrage dresse un état des lieux précis de la situation. A l’aide de multiples exemples , il se focalise sur les stratégies de régénération des friches urbaines dans une perspective de développement territorial durable. Il fournit enfin une panoplie de propositions concrètes, visant à transférer les enseignements tirés d'expériences pionnières en matière d’intégration de la durabilité vers les pratiques courantes de la planification urbaine.
