Résumé:
As ecology becomes the new engineering, the projection of landscape as infrastructure—the contemporary alignment of the disciplines of landscape architecture, civil engineering, and urban planning— has become pressing. Predominant challenges facing urban regions and territories today—including shifting climates, material flows, and population mobilities, are addressed and strategized here. Responding to the under-performance of master planning and over-exertion of technological systems at the end of twentieth century, this book argues for the strategic design of "infrastructural ecologies," describing a synthetic landscape of living, biophysical systems that operate as urban infrastructures to shape and direct the future of urban economies and cultures into the 21st century.

Résumé:
Marnes se situe entre la revue de fond et le recueil d'écrits de référence, inédits ou épuisés, dans les champs de l'architecture, de l'urbanisme, de l'écologie et du paysage. Ce volume contient un texte majeur de la théorie architecturale : 'La Forme du territoire' de Vittorio Gregotti (1966), une série d'écrits d'architectes contemporains – St John Wilson, Caruso, Mansilla – sur Sigurd Lewerentz, un architecte suédois dont la production est l'une des plus intrigantes du XXe siècle, un article de référence de Lugi Morreti sur les 'Structures et séquences d'espace' (1953) ainsi qu'une conférence de l'historienne Frances Yates sur l'art de la mémoire. 'Projeter pour la survie', qui dresse en 1972 un état des enjeux écologiques dans la revue Architectural Design, est mis en parallèle avec un texte récent de David Holmgren, cofondateur de la permaculture, qui trace quatre scénarios pour le futur. Enfin, Philippe Lapierre explore l'univers urbain et architectural de l'auteur de bande-dessinées Chris Ware. Ces textes s'accompagnent de contributions d'Eric Alonzo, Luc Baboulet, Olivier Gaudin, Laurent Koetz et Sébastien Marot. Marnes, documents d'architecture est une production de l'Ecole d'architecture de la ville & des territoires.

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.

Résumé:
Plant life is a subject frequently ignored in the context of urban theory, and the essays in 'The Botanical City' offer a fresh perspective into new ecological forms that continue to emerge in cities across the world. Much like the unique adaptive strategies of city-native animals, urban plants often become distinctively intertwined with their cities’ human infrastructure, and this book explores both the scientific approaches to understanding these new ecologies and attempts on the part of writers and artists to engage with urban flora. Edited by the British cultural geographers Matthew Gandy and Sandra Jasper, the book comprises ecological reflections on city design, history, art and mapmaking, alongside philosophical excursions on the meaning of urban ecology in the Anthropocene.
