Résumé:
Partout sur la surface de la terre, la culture matérielle et les représentations des hommes ont marché d’un même pas pour aménager les terroirs, structurer les espaces et donner jour à une architecture. Par leur nombre encore réduit comme par la limitation de leurs moyens techniques, les groupes humains qui se sont succédé sur la terre ont marqué l’espace, rares sont ceux qui auront dévasté leur territoire au point de menacer la vie autrement qu’à une échelle locale. Emblème des multiples attentes de nos sociétés, la catégorie de paysage pose qu’il est temps que l’anthropisation généralisée du milieu terrestre se fasse sous le signe d’une culture de l’aménagement, c’est-à-dire d’un projet concerté équilibrant de façon prudente l’urgence du besoin avec la limite des ressources et se souciant de leur juste répartition. Les beaux paysages de demain sauront-ils donner une mesure à l’instinct de prédation aussi bien qu’à l’envie du futile, incarneront-ils une responsabilité face à la question des valeurs?

Résumé:
David Cooper identifies garden appreciation as a special human phenomenon distinct from both from the appreciation of art and the appreciation of nature. He explores the importance of various 'garden-practices' and shows how not only gardening itself, but activities to which the garden especially lends itself, including social and meditative activities, contribute to the good life. And he distinguishes the many kinds of meanings that gardens may have, from representation of nature to emotional expression, from historical significance to symbolization of a spiritual relationship to the world. Building on the familiar observation that, among human beings' creations, the garden is peculiarly dependent on the co-operation of nature, Cooper argues that the garden matters as an epiphany of an intimate co-dependence between human creative activity in the world and the 'mystery' that allows there to be a world for them at all.

With populations decentralizing and cities sprawling ever outward, twenty-first-century urban planners are challenged by the need to organize not just people but space itself.

Fourteen essays written by leading figures across a range of disciplines including James Corner, Linda Pollak, Alan Berger, Pierre Bélanger, Julia Czerniak, and more—capture the origins, the contemporary milieu, and the aspirations of this relatively new field.

La pensée paysagère, ce n'est pas la pensée du paysage. Ce livre n'est pas une histoire de la pensée du paysage. Il pose la question : pourquoi cet étonnant contraste entre, d'une part, ces innombrables générations qui n'avaient pas de pensée du paysage mais qui nous ont laissé tant d'admirables paysages, et d'autre part cette génération qui, tout en ne cessant de parler et d'écrire à propos du paysage, le détruit à grande échelle sur tout son territoire - hormis quelques icônes ? Nous avons une pensée du paysage, mais nous n'avons plus de pensée paysagère, c'est-à-dire cette pensée concrète, vivante et agissante qui s'exprimait par de beaux paysages. Fétichiser cet objet de consommation (touristique, immobilière, académique etc.) qu'est aujourd'hui le paysage, cela ne suffira pas pour retrouver cette manière d'être qui s'incarnait dans la pensée paysagère.

Résumé:
Caspar David Friedrich (1774–1840) is heralded as the greatest painter of the Romantic movement in Germany, and Europe’s first truly modern artist. His mysterious and melancholy landscapes, often peopled with lonely wanderers, are experiments in a radically subjective artistic perspective—one in which, as Freidrich wrote, the painter depicts not “what he sees before him, but what he sees within him.” This vulnerability of the individual when confronted with nature became one of the key tenets of the Romantic aesthetic.

Résumé:
In this publication, Raffaele Milani interprets natural landscapes as an aesthetic category. Drawing from philosophical traditions, literature, and art, he calls the reader's attention to a special consciousness, originally established during the pre-Romantic age, that has become a distinctive feature of contemporary spirituality. Focusing on the definition of landscapes in relation to the concepts of nature, environment, territory, and man-made settings such as gardens and cities, Milani examines the origins of the predilection for natural scenery in the works of landscape painters and in travel literature. He addresses the distinctness of the aesthetic experience of landscapes, analyses the role of aesthetic categories, and explores landscape art as a medium of contemplation.
