Résumé:
Shaped by water and enclosed by the Prenestini, Ruffi, Simbruini, and Lepini mountains, the Aniene Valley reveals a landscape of remarkable complexity, where nature and history intertwine in a continuous process of transformation. Stretching between Rome, Tivoli, and Subiaco, this territory unfolds along the seventy kilometres of the Via Tiburtina, preserving ancient and modern traces of human presence and a long-standing dialogue between people and the environment. This guide offers a renewed interpretation of the Valley through interdisciplinary contributions, highlighting sacred spaces and a living, fragile landscape - a threshold between the Ager Tiburtinus and the mountains, to be rediscovered with a more attentive, mindful gaze.

Résumé:
Harold Sculthorpe was Principal Lecturer in the Department of Biological Sciences at North East Surrey College of Technology but on his retirement left the confines of the lecture room for the freedom of the open air, determined to make every Monday a Sunday. A life long concern with the constraints placed on the individual by a host of bureaucratic bodies, and not least the State, then found expression in these short essays on the problems encountered when walking in the countryside as the military, large landowners, factory farmers and more recently the water companies conjoin to try to exclude walkers from much of the land for their own nefarious purposes.

We shower, cook and heat our homes. There is water, gas and electricity. We sit at a table, wash in a sink or rest on a couch. We are bodies among other bodies; living and dead, solid and fluid, raw and transformed, recognisable or in disguise. To live is to interact, but what are we interacting with?

We shower, cook and heat our homes. There is water, gas and electricity. We sit at a table, wash in a sink or rest on a couch. We are bodies among other bodies; living and dead, solid and fluid, raw and transformed, recognisable or in disguise. To live is to interact, but what are we interacting with? "The domestic encyclopaedia" is a collection of stories that explore the material body of architecture, of houses. In the midst of ongoing ecological disaster and increased alienation from nature it invites you to travel beyond the screen, to practice attention and probe the nature of domestic space.

Résumé:
On the eve of its 50th anniversary, the Landscape Architecture Foundation asked a diverse group of the world's leading landscape architects to reflect on the last half-century and present bold ideas for what the discipline should achieve in the future. Well beyond the public conception of the profession as "gardener" or "park designer," these landscape architects discussed their role in addressing weighty issues like climate change, urbanization, management of vital resources like water, and global inequities. "The New Landscape Declaration" brings together their ideas and experiences in essays from thirty-three preeminent thinkers, including: James Corner, Randy Hester, Kate Orff, Martha Schwartz, Carl Steinitz, Richard Weller, and Kongjian Yu.

Résumé:
The artist’s book “Detroit“ presents the contemporary urban landscape of this de- industrialized metropolis as an overlay of social and natural history. The catchwords “ruin porn” and “future city” are currently being used in the media to describe what was once celebrated as the “Motor City”. In her photographs and texts, Franziska Klose describes a landscape absolutely consumed by industry, its structure a manifestation of social inequality, despite all the conjurations of an imminent economic boom. The story of the “comeback” is set against land speculation and water shut-offs and contrasts with the emergence of a potential post-growth society based on urban agriculture and individual autonomy.

Résumé:
Despite its deceptive title, the fact that this book is a guide about Iowa is accurate. Daniel Naegele qualifies “good” being not absolute but contingent and personal, and therefore a very questionable qualifier. By “architecture”, however, Naegele means “good building”, regardless of whether or not the built object was designed by an architect, is a habitable structure, or is even a building at all. Most entries in this guide are concerned either with vernacular works that are habitable tools (barns, corncribs, silos) or with built works that are not buildings at all (billboards, bridges, wind turbines, water towers). Mildly contentious by nature, Naegele’s guide is nevertheless utterly practical.

Résumé:
This publication is a book of stories, depictions of vanished ways of life told from the point of view of a contemporary observer. The stories tell how people lived in Japan some two hundred years ago, during the late Edo Period, when traditional technology and culture were at the peak of development and realization, just before the country opened itself to the West and joined the ranks of the industrialized nations. They tell of people overcoming many of the identical problems that confront us today--issues of energy, water, materials, food and population--and forging a society that was conservation-minded, waste-free, well-housed, well-fed and economically robust.

Translated here into English for the first time, this rare story serves as a point of departure for Josiah McElheny, who offers a fascinating array of responses to this enigmatic work. The Light Club makes clear that the themes of utopian hope, desire, and madness in Scheerbart’s tale represent a part of modernism’s lost project: a world based on political and spiritual ideals rather than efficiency and logic.

Résumé:
The Dutch office of Strootman Landscape Architects is extensively profiled in this gorgeous monographic publication by C3. The book is divided by chapter into the themes most relevant to the practice: Garden & Park, Forest & Park, Re-use, Historico-cultural Landscapes, and Living in Water Landscapes. Tackling issues such as planning versus design, spatial solutions in an urbanised world, accommodating natural forms and systems, and the pursuit of the sublime, Strootman presents itself as formally rooted in the history of the Dutch landscape while simultaneously applying contemporary ecological and spatial strategies. Included are a variety of notable projects from both within the Netherlands and across Europe.
