If there is a plateau that continuously unites Hans Dieter Schaal's numerous artistic fields of activity then it is surely that of landscape architecture. Landscape motifs are as convincingly present in his stage sets as they are in his installations, his exhibition architectures, his texts, and, naturally, also his park and garden designs.

Résumé:
If there is a plateau that continuously unites Hans Dieter Schaal's numerous artistic fields of activity then it is surely that of landscape architecture. Landscape motifs are as convincingly present in his stage sets as they are in his installations, his exhibition architectures, his texts, and, naturally, also his park and garden designs. Schaal has been on the track of the fascination of landscapes since the 1960s with an intensive study of the early landscape gardens of Great Britain, the park complexes of the Romantics and the Enlightenment and he was subsequently able to build a large number of spectacular »follies« and installations in gardens and parks.

Résumé:
''Towards territorial transition'' presents new spatial strategies, concepts, and approaches for shaping large-scale and transnational developments in architecture and urban design towards decarbonization and ecological transition. The contributions investigate interactions between ecological and resource-related systems and landscapes. They also explore potential solutions to address and deal with the dramatic threats posed by climate change and the emerging social crisis. The book introduces six basic terms of territorial transition—territory, scale, transition, resource, platform, and uncertainty—and visualizes them with spatial strategies elaborated at the École nationale supérieure d’architecture Versailles and at Graz University of Technology. Moreover, it presents a selection of transnational projects of territorial transition, such as Luxembourg in Transition (Luxembourg / France), Grand Genève (Switzerland / France), and Top Noordrand (Belgium).

Résumé:
Les scientifiques ont démontré ces dernières décennies une évolution néfaste des conditions climatologiques au point que la question du climat est devenue incontournable dans l’espace public et politique. Si la capacité de production de la société industrielle a pu assurer à une partie des habitants de cette planète une relative prospérité, est-il encore possible de poursuivre ce type de développement qui sacrifie les écosystèmes sans même garantir l’essor du reste de la population mondiale ? La situation climatique n’oblige-telle pas à reconsidérer notre relation au monde, à définir un nouveau projet politique, à envisager un nouveau rapport à l’espace autour de la question écologique ? C’est ce dont nous souhaitons débattre à travers le cycle de conférences Climats organisé par l’École nationale supérieure d’architecture Paris-Malaquais.

Résumé:
Pinos's architecture of overlay is evident in her design process; her unique models and drawings are complex compositions that reinforce the multifaceted quality of her design. This monograph, the first comprehensive English-language publication of the architect's work, presents extensive visual documentation of twenty-five built and unbuilt works from 1991, the year she founded her own firm, to the present. Pinos is particularly noted for her large-scale architecture-landscape projects, including her most significant current project, the JVC Cultural & Business Center fair area, part of a major project in Guadalajara, Mexico. Among other designs are the pedestrian bridge, Petrer, Alicante; Dunar Park, Matalascanas, Huelva; the Juan Aparicio and Punta Prima waterfonts, Torrevieja, Alicante; and landscape improvements and recreational center, Caldas de Reis, Galicia. Pinos also specializes in sports facilities and schools.

Résumé:
"Vitruvius’s De architectura" is the only major work on architecture to survive from classical antiquity, and until the eighteenth century it was the text to which all other architectural treatises referred. While European classicists have focused on the factual truth of the text itself, English-speaking architects and architectural theorists have viewed it as a timeless source of valuable metaphors. Departing from both perspectives, Indra Kagis McEwen examines the work’s meaning and significance in its own time. Vitruvius dedicated De architectura to his patron Augustus Caesar, the first Roman emperor, whose rise to power inspired its composition near the end of the first century B.C. McEwen argues that the imperial project of world dominion shaped Vitruvius’s purpose in writing what he calls "the whole body of architecture." Specifically, Vitruvius’s aim was to present his discipline as the means for making the emperor’s body congruent with the imagined body of the world he would rule.

Résumé:
Sir John Vanbrugh was one of Britain’s greatest architects and the designer of some of the most important and best beloved English country houses, including Castle Howard and Blenheim Palace. This beautifully illustrated biography draws on close study of Vanbrugh's letters to bring to life his ideas, beliefs, friendships and buildings, as well as providing insight into his professional practice and working relationships. Vanbrugh was, by the standards of architects of the time, a worldly figure, friend and ally of the great, with a strong sense of the imaginative characteristics of architecture, its power of evocation, and the emotional impact of a building’s massing, particularly when compared to the more disciplined and scholarly work of his contemporaries Sir Christopher Wren and Nicholas Hawksmoor.
