Résumé:
Today, designers are shifting the practice of landscape architecture towards the need for a more complex understanding of ecological science. Constructed Ecologies presents ecology as critical theory for design, and provides major ideas for design that are supported with solid and imaginative science. Margaret Grose presents wide-ranging new approaches and shows the importance of learning from science for design, of going beyond assumptions, of working in multiple rather than single issues, of disrupting linear design thinking, and of dealing with data.

Résumé:
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.

Résumé:
Authored by Saskia de Wit, this book examines the enclosed garden as an expression of the ‘genius loci’. How can this be made accessible in the contemporary metropolitan landscape? Included are analyses of the spatial, sensorial, and narrative craft patterns of metropolitan gardens ranging from traditional Japanese masterpieces to contemporary European landscape architecture. The metropolitan garden, as a defined space in the continuous metropolitan field, provides an alternative way to access the landscape horizon, references to nature, and connections to the underlying landscape, providing a new perspective on two quintessential themes: nature and place.

Résumé:
In Waterfall, Brian Hudson explores the many myths and legends waterfalls have inspired in cultures ranging from Native American to Celtic and Indian, and how they have been depicted in art, literature, film, and music. He also examines their influence on architecture and landscape design, as manmade waterfalls begin to be a staple of parks, gardens, and backyard landscaping. Hudson also discusses the ecology of waterfalls and the conflict that arises from their importance as both a source of hydroelectric power and tourist attractions in many countries. As erosion takes its own toll, the additional environmental impacts of human exploitation could be devastating.

Résumé:
The bench, an apparently small and almost irrelevant object, appears to function as a significant object in both through specific physical placement and in a more general sense- that of the blended domain of aesthetics, garden history, architecture, spatiality and subjectivity.

Résumé:
The bench, an apparently small and almost irrelevant object, appears to function as a significant object in both through specific physical placement and in a more general sense- that of the blended domain of aesthetics, garden history, architecture, spatiality and subjectivity. The bench acts as a powerful visual machine, regulating the reception of a landscape in what it has to offer to its visitors. By transmitting verbal messages through inscriptions, citing other benches as part of a complex walk circuit, providing rest and inviting users to discover new aspects of the site, this highly polysemic element orients and disorients the visitor at the same time.
