Résumé:
Les articles de John Brinckerhoff Jackson réunis ici reflètent les qualités fondamentales de son regard sur les réalités paysagères contemporaines : sens de la précision, observation des détails révélateurs, attention aux changements plus ou moins perceptibles des paysages et des éléments qui les composent, le tout dans une écriture légère, et parfois incisive. Dans ce livre, Jackson aborde de nombreux thèmes essentiels : l’évolution de l’inter¬prétation des paysages et de la notion de « paysage public », l’importance de la grille comme moyen d’organiser l’espace rural et urbain aux États-Unis, ou encore le rôle de la route et du chemin dans la structuration de l’espace. Un ouvrage précieux pour apprendre à déchiffrer ce que nous disent les paysages, à la fois de ¬l’histoire géologique longue et du temps court des sociétés humaines.

Résumé:
The ''Moving mountains' book is a selection of material enquiries of the Swedish landscape, narrated through a series of texts, recipes and visual materials that ask how we can reconfigure and inform our understanding of the land that surrounds us. The structure of ''Moving mountains'' focuses on opposites: mining in the North and agriculture in the South, the Lapland fells and the Skåne plains, wanted and unwanted industrial materials, new and old approaches to the land. Photographs by Joshua Olley take the reader through portraits of Skåne, Halland, Uppland, Södermanland, Norrbotten and Lappland. Although the investigation was based in Sweden, the concept is reproducible, which comes across during collaborative moments in the book. The design of the book by Kiosk Studio, with its thermolacquer heat sensitive cover, directly responds to the content, meaning the narrative is as much a visual investigation as it is a text based one.

Résumé:
''Tree by tree'' is a warning and a toolkit for the future of forest recovery. Scott J. Meiners investigates the critical biological threats endangering tree species native to the forests of eastern North America, providing a needed focus on this plight. Meiners suggests that if we are to save our forests, the first step is to recognize the threats in front of us. Meiners focuses on five familiar trees—the American elm, the American chestnut, the eastern hemlock, the white ash, and the sugar maple—and shares why they matter economically, ecologically, and culturally. From outbreaks of Dutch elm disease to infestations of emerald ash borers, Meiners highlights the challenges that have led or will lead to the disappearance of these trees from forests. In doing so, he shows us how diversity loss often disrupts intricately balanced ecosystems and how vital it is that we pay more attention to massive changes in forest composition. With practical steps for the conservation of native tree species, ''Tree by tree'' offers the inspiration and insights we need to begin saving our forests.

Entre appétit des grandes puissances et tentatives de coopération, découvrez des territoires hétérogènes où s'inventent des formes d'adaptation, d’innovation et de résilience, où les sociétés humaines se questionnent sans doute plus qu’ailleurs sur leur avenir et où les rennes sont parfois plus nombreux que les habitants, le tout avec les meilleurs guides qui ont vécu durablement sur place.

How can landscape and urban studies more effectively engage in transdisciplinary dialogue, sensuousness and affect, and pluriversal worlds? "Researching otherwise" presents sensory, collaborative, and restitutive methodological tools for crafting new spaces of knowledge production. Through activities such as drawing, photographing, filmmaking, sounding, listening, walking, and mapmaking, these researchers explore regenerative futures in new ways, from non-human companions to visual ethnographic studies with refugees. With contributions by Nitin Bathla, Denise Bertschi, Nancy Couling, Luke Harris, Metaxia Markaki, Bonnie Kate Walker, and more.

Résumé:
"A tree," is about vegetal agency, plant knowledge, and the interaction between plants and people, with a specific focus on trees. This book comprises a variety of contributions that take a multitude of approaches to tree life, from sensory to ancestral, intimate to speculative. Taking the time to think about trees through imagination, art, music, storytelling, poetry, and images, the works in this reader share the aim of nurturing and furthering dialogue that exercises arboreal kinship. Moreover, the contributions inspire us to move beyond large systems of oppression and towards exorcizing anthropocentrism, capitalism, individualism, heteronormativity, and coloniality, by learning from and with tree time.

Résumé:
''Designed Forests: A Cultural History'' explores the unique kinship that exists between forests and spatial design; the forest’s influence on architectural culture and practice; and the potentials and pitfalls of “forest thinking” for more sustainable and ethical ways of doing architecture today. It tackles these subjects by focusing on architecture’s own dispositions, which stem from an ecology of metaphor that surrounds its encounters with the forest and undergird ideas about Nature and natural systems. The book weaves together global narratives and chapters explore a range of topics, such as the invention of forest plans in colonial India, the war waged on the jungles of Vietnam, economic land use concepts in rural Germany, precolonial ecological pasts in Manhattan, and technologically saturated forests in California. This book is essential for landscape architects, urbanists, architects, forestry experts, and everyone concerned with larger environmental contexts and the ever-evolving relationship between nature and culture.

Résumé:
John Stilgoe is just looking around. This is more difficult than it sounds, particularly in our mediated age, when advances in both theory and technology too often seek to replace the visual evidence before our own eyes rather than complement it. We are surrounded by landscapes charged with our past, and yet from our earliest schooldays we are instructed not to stare out the window. Someone who stops to look isn’t only a rarity; he or she is suspect. "Landscape and images" records a lifetime spent observing America’s constructed landscapes. Stilgoe’s essays follow the eclectic trains of thought that have resulted from his observation, from the postcard preference for sunsets over sunrises to the concept of "teen geography" to the unwillingness of Americans to walk up and down stairs. In Stilgoe's hands, the subject of jack o’ lanterns becomes an occasion to explore centuries-old concepts of boundaries and trespassing, and to examine why this originally pagan symbol has persisted into our own age.

How can buildings be integrated into the landscape? How is architecture conceivable in flood-prone areas or parched landscapes? The title ‘Traces’ addresses these and other questions. It thematises how ‘reading’, observing and recording space and landscape determine an architectural design in different landscape contexts. It provides insights into an approach to architectural design. Using selected works created at the Chair of Design and Creation under the direction of Prof. Uta Graff at TUM Munich, certain aspects take centre stage. Colour illustrations of artefacts and models, project descriptions and essays document the various issues.
