Résumé:
In this project, graphic designers Jamie Yeo and Gideon Kong obsessively observe and photograph minor urban occurrences in Singapore which possibly challenge popular ideas about the city being “clean and green” or inauthentic. The images reveal creative forms of appropriation (or resistance) that indirectly critique top-down design implementations or suggest other(...)

The images reveal creative forms of appropriation (or resistance) that indirectly critique top-down design implementations or suggest other micro-possibilities of use. In this instalment, plants are the focus. Whether growing wild or carefully tended, vegetation in the city is often taken for granted. Here we see them serve dual functions as drying racks, shoe hangers, trash receptacles, and seasonal holiday decorations.

Résumé:
Old Montreal is a one-square-kilometre historic district located in the heart of one of North America's great cities. The old city centre offers a unique blend of history and heritage that spans thousands of years, from prehistoric encampments to architectural masterpieces of later days. Constantly changing throughout its history, the district nonetheless bears striking evidence of each major stage in its development. The authors explain how Old Montreal's diverse architectural heritage and many features of its urban landscape—archaeological remains, streets, squares, gardens, docks and public works of art—reveal so much about the district's past and the people who lived there. Each chapter covers a distinct historical period. The unfolding story traces how the historic district emerged as a powerful business district, casting its influence over the larger city, its region and even, in part, over the development of the continent. Recounted in an accessible manner, the history of Old Montreal comes alive with 270 illustrations, including colour photographs commissioned for this book.

Résumé:
After decades of being banished from residential areas, water is now becoming an increasingly significant feature in urban design. Whether it is the integration of natural water courses into the built environment rainwater management, the incorporation of water elements in urban areas for climatic purposes or the creation of oases of tranquility or drama such as pools or fountains – all these aspects are not only encountering renewed interest among architects and urban planners, but they are also greeted with appreciation by the general public. This book reveals the wide variety of possibilities for using water as a creative element in the city, in art, in the landscape and architecture. Amongst the works documented are a large new city park in Portland (Oregon), the botanical gardens in New York Queens, the conversion of a former airport in Oslo, the park for a new residential area in Oulu, near the Polar Circle in Finland, or a project for Hangzhon, China.

Résumé:
Garden design in the twentieth century ranges from Victorian-era examples to the age of Land Art. This span results in an extraordinarily varied survey - from Europe to South America, from Japan to the United States - including work by garden and landscape designers whose names are familiar to both lovers and scholars of the modern garden: Robinson, Jekyll, Jensen, Farrand, Sessions, Mawson, Church, Sørensen, and Jellicoe. Janet Waymark traces the revolutionary changes brought about in the postwar period by the Harvard Rebels - Eckbo, Rose, and Kiley - and examines the impact of Noguchi, Burle Marx, Barragán, and others, as well as the powerful international influence of Scandinavian landscape architects and designers. The garden city is also given close attention, from its beginnings in late Victorian Britain, through the Greenbelt Towns in the American Midwest, to the latest regeneration of urban centres worldwide. A long line of artists and architects of international renown have earned a place in the history of the modern garden: Monet, Le Corbusier, Mondrian, Wright, Mies van der Rohe, and Gaudí, among others. Land artists, such as Michael Heizer, Robert Smithson, Patricia Johanson, and Kathryn Gustafson in America and Richard Long, Andy Goldsworthy, and Ian Hamilton Finlay in the UK, have brought new ways of thinking about landscape and the garden into the twenty-first century.

Résumé:
In 1930 the Olmsted Brothers and Harland Bartholomew & Associates submitted a report, "Parks, Playgrounds, and Beaches for the Los Angeles Region," to the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce. After a day or two of coverage in the newspapers, the report dropped from sight. The plan set out a system of parks and parkways, children's playgrounds, and public beaches. It is a model of ambitious, intelligent, sensitive planning commissioned at a time when land was available, if only the city planners had had the fortitude and vision to act on its recommendations. "Parks, Playgrounds, and Beaches" has become a highly valued but difficult-to-find document. In this book, Greg Hise and William Deverell examine the reasons it was called for, analyze why it failed, and open a discussion about the future of urban public space. In addition to their introduction and a facsimile reproduction of the report, "Eden by Design" includes a dialogue between Hise, Deverell, and landscape architect Laurie Olin that illuminates the significance of the Olmsted-Bartholomew report and situates it in the history of American landscape planning.

Résumé:
"Urban Margins" explores the complex processes through which citizens produce and negotiate these marginalized landscapes and in turn are informed by them. Focusing on Douala in Cameroon and Dakar in Senegal, one essay discusses how the state's failure to provide for its citizens has led many to turn to informal networks and affiliations--whether kin-based, local, translocal, gendered, religious, or secular--for survival. Rendering the urban landscape of these cities in terms of these networks and the ways that they shape a citizen's interaction with the city, the essay considers the political possibilities for African cities where diverse multilingual and ethnic populations face the challenges, pitfalls, and compromises of coexistence.

Infrastructural Monument presents the proceedings of the first of two conferences organized by MIT's new Center for Advanced Urbanism around the biennial theme of infrastructure. Held in the spring of 2013, the "Infrastructural Monument" conference gathered designers, developers, policy experts, and scholars to address the potential to leverage infrastructure design beyond the realm of transportation of goods and labor into the realm of culture, public space, architecture, and landscape form. In other words, can infrastructure transcend mere practicality and fulfill a role that is profoundly cultural? Can targeted infrastructure projects transform a city from a collection of fragments to one with a common and cohesive regional identity?
