Quebec in mind is grouped by theme and accompanied by informative captions and descriptions; • Its major attractions, Montréal and Québec City, the St. Lawrence River Valley and its gulf, and the vast Far North. • Its rich architectural heritage, traditional, religious, and contemporary. • Its culture and savoir-vivre, the warmth and hospitality of its people, its unique cuisine and its many outdoor activities. • Its wilderness and wide open spaces, from the countryside to the forests, from the lakes to the mountains, from the river to the sea.

Résumé:
The automobile has brought about changes to the landscape that are nothing short of revolutionary. The dramatic reconfiguration of cities and the countryside to accommodate our taste for freedom of movement has been matched by a change in the way buildings themselves have been planned. Today, CAD and car-building techniques have opened up new possibilities for architectural design and this book, edited by the London-based journalist Jonathan Bell, argues that the influence of the car on architectural and urban thinking is greater than ever. A compelling manifesto for the future of building design.

Résumé:
What are the links between environment and world view? Topophilia, the affective bond between people and place, is the primary theme of this book that examines environmental perceptions and values at different levels: the species, the group, and the individual. Yi-Fu Tuan holds culture and environment and topophilia and environment as distinct in order to show how they mutually contribute to the formation of values. Topophilia examines the search for environment in the city, suburb, countryside, and wilderness from a dialectical perspective, distinguishes different types of environmental experience, and describes their character.

Résumé:
At a time when the relationship between ‘the country’ and ‘the city’ is in flux worldwide, the value and meanings of food associated with both places continue to be debated. Building upon the foundation of Raymond Williams’ classic work, The Country and the City, this volume examines how conceptions of the country and the city invoked in relation to food not only reflect their changing relationship but have also been used to alter the very dynamics through which countryside and cities, and the food grown and eaten within them, are produced and sustained.

Yet few people know that, along with thousands and thousands of black-and-white photographs, the FSA photographers also took color pictures. Covering countryside and city, farm and factory, work and play, the images in this book reveal a world that we have always seen in our mind's eye exclusively in black and white.

Résumé:
This special feature on residential architecture in Ireland presents 20 houses designed by six architects: Clancy Moore, Steve Larkin, Ryan W. Kennihan, TAKA architects, David Leech, and t o b Architect. Together these Irish architects demonstrate a broad spectrum of materialities and approaches while also remaining true to their cultural and contextual roots. Besides many more traditional homes, this overview expands the house typology to include a farmhouse, warehouse conversion, conservatory room, park gate lodge, and writers room. From reuse to new building and from urban to countryside, this selection of houses embodies the imagination of Irish architecture today.

Résumé:
Dieter Kienast (1945–1998) is a key Swiss figure in European landscape architecture. Amidst a striking change in societal understandings of nature, he sought a synthesis between design and ecology. He designed spaces to make the dissolving opposition between city and countryside legible and to enable aesthetic experience to help cope with increasingly complex everyday life. Kienast introduced new challenges into the discussion of those fields. Critique of urban planning, processes of participation and the significance of urban vegetation played just as much a role in these discussions as did art, literature, architecture, and the popularity of postmodernism.

Résumé:
Wood has a long history as a building material, and for a while it seemed as if its final chapter ended during the 1950s. But things turned out differently. Today a true renaissance in timber construction is underway, and in many places it is finding expression in urban contexts. Wood buildings are appearing in ever-greater numbers, heights and typologies, from industrial buildings and museums to sports halls. Timber construction has long since liberated itself from the cliché of single-family countryside cottages. Thanks to new technologies and methods, wood has become a popular building material – conserving resources and offering a promising future.
