Résumé:
"Landscape + 100 words to inhabit it" is a title that intends to present a condition of contemporary landscape by measuring it through a direct and immediate form : terms, definitions, ideas, microstories, short texts, notes. It is a collection of instant snaps rather than a complete critical and theoretical look at the subject. It is a group of terms asked for and formulated by authors that are not only architects and landscape architects, but also urbanists, philosophers, critics, poets, geographers and writers. It is a collection of reflections that underlie aesthetic and cultural categories as much as technical-professional values and practices. It is a Tower of Babel of meanings, each having its specific characteristics, which, far from exhausting all the issues of a particular point, propose 'listening' to it from various multifaceted standpoints. These concepts do not guide this book towards a definition of landscape but towards a search for the most suitable instruments for dealing with it.

Résumé:
En ce début de millénaire, quel regard porter sur la production récente de l'espace public ? Loin des grands aménagements urbains, ce livre explore la question de l'invention du paysage urbain dans des petites ou moyennes communes et au travers d'opérations modestes, situées dans de grandes villes ou non. Le "paysage intime" résulte du fragile équilibre obtenu par une évolution lente de la matière bâtie et non bâtie, en fonction des techniques, des particularités culturelles, des usages et du climat de chaque région. Or, force est de constater que, souvent, la production courante de l'aménagement urbain et le traitement infligé aux espaces publics manquent d'attention et de pertinence. L'objet de cet ouvrage est de montrer qu'il est pourtant possible de faire évoluer le cadre urbain avec intelligence et sensibilité tout en évitant les pièges d'un conservatisme frileux ou d'un "modernisme" tapageur. Vingt opérations ont été choisies pour leur qualité de conception et de réalisation, leur caractère innovant ou simplement pour la justesse de leur réponse. Elles prennent en compte les particularités des sites dans lesquels elles s'inscrivent ainsi que les demandes en termes d'usage et de fonctionnalité, pour créer des paysages "à valeur ajoutée", loin des solutions toutes faites qui banalisent et dénaturent généralement les paysages urbains. Ce recueil de projets remarquables par leur qualité devrait contribuer à relever le niveau d'exigence dans la réalisation des espaces publics et à encourager les initiatives ambitieuses.

Socrates Sculpture Park is a public art spaces. The Park opened in 1986 and has been an outdoor studio to over 500 artists, a venue presenting more than 40 exhibitions of large-scale sculpture, and a vital park attracting a diverse audience to Long Island City’s East River waterfront.

Sculptor Mark di Suvero founded the Park with the assistance of fellow artists, community members, and city officials who transformed an abandoned lot into an award-winning urban renewal project. The history, spirit, and nature of this collaborative enterprise is presented through photographs and essays that reveal the beauty, energy, and import of this successful public art space.

Résumé:
Hester argues that it is only by combining the powerful forces of ecology and democracy that the needed revolution in design will take place. Democracy bestows freedom; ecology creates responsible freedom by explaining our interconnectedness with all creatures. Hester's new design principles are founded on three fundamental issues that integrate democracy and ecology: enabling form, resilient form, and impelling form. Urban design must enable us to be communities rather than zoning-segregated enclaves and to function as informed democracies. A simple bench at a centrally located post office, for example, provides an opportunity for connection and shared experience. Cities must be ecologically resilient rather than ecologically imperiled, adaptable to the surrounding ecology rather than dependent on technological fixes. Resilient form turns increased urban density, for example, into an advantage. And cities should impel us by joy rather than compel us by fear; good cities enrich us rather than limit us. Design for Ecological Democracy is essential reading for designers, planners, environmentalists, community activists, and anyone else who wants to improve a local community.

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.
