Résumé:
One of the legendary figures in twentieth-century landscape design, Ian McHarg transformed the fields of landscape architecture and planning through his personal methodology, his unique curriculum at the University of Pennsylvania, and his own inspired writing. In classic texts such as his landmark 1969 book Design with Nature, McHarg painted an incredibly rich and exuberant picture of the organic world while conjuring up a vision of a more wholesome and productive metropolis. In this new entry in the popular Conversations with Students series, we are proud to make McHarg's never-before-in-print lecture "Collaboration with Nature" available for the first time. Captured on tape in the 1970s, the lecture is the sequel to Design with Nature. This is a must-read for anyone in the fields of landscape architecture, environmental science, and urban planning.

Résumé:
David Cooper identifies garden appreciation as a special human phenomenon distinct from both from the appreciation of art and the appreciation of nature. He explores the importance of various 'garden-practices' and shows how not only gardening itself, but activities to which the garden especially lends itself, including social and meditative activities, contribute to the good life. And he distinguishes the many kinds of meanings that gardens may have, from representation of nature to emotional expression, from historical significance to symbolization of a spiritual relationship to the world. Building on the familiar observation that, among human beings' creations, the garden is peculiarly dependent on the co-operation of nature, Cooper argues that the garden matters as an epiphany of an intimate co-dependence between human creative activity in the world and the 'mystery' that allows there to be a world for them at all.

With populations decentralizing and cities sprawling ever outward, twenty-first-century urban planners are challenged by the need to organize not just people but space itself. Hence a new architectural discourse has emerged : landscape urbanism. In "The Llandscape urbanism Rreader" Charles Waldheimhas assembled the definitive collection of essays by many of the field's practitioners. Fourteen essays written by leading figures across a range of disciplines including James Corner, Linda Pollak, Alan Berger, Pierre Bélanger, Julia Czerniak, and more—capture the origins, the contemporary milieu, and the aspirations of this relatively new field.

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:
''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.
