Résumé:
How can our urban jungles be transformed into skyscraper forests that help our cities provide new forms of sustenance, from urban farms to breathing buildings? The topic is increasingly in the public eye, and the answer is already cropping up on our streets. Garden City captures the growing global movement among contemporary architects for biodesigning buildings that are less structure and façade, more living entities, capable of being ecologically autonomous, horticulturally productive, and both pleasing to the eye and relevant to our day-to-day lifestyles.

Résumé:
La Ville végétale étudie les villes françaises depuis le XVIIe siècle sous un angle innovant qui est celui de leur nature végétale : parcs et jardins, certes, mais aussi plantes « hors-sol » qui circulent dans l’espace urbain (légumes, fleurs coupées, déchets végétaux, etc.). Il s’agit de montrer que la ville n’est pas que minérale et artificialisée et qu’au contraire le végétal en irrigue les artères, même si cette présence a fluctué au fil du temps, en quantité comme en qualité. L’ouvrage s’attache d’abord à comprendre comment, par qui et au prix de quelles contraintes la nature s’installe dans la ville. Puis il étudie les différents usages qui en sont faits : théâtre des hiérarchies sociales, lieu d’urbanité ou d’ensauvagement, production économique, objet d’étude savante, etc.

Résumé:
Urban gardening has become recently popular. We only have to think of the riverbanks restored to their natural state, the urban gardening and urban farming projects springing up all over the world, the green skyscrapers (prospective and actually built) such as, for instance, the utopian farmscrapers of Vincent Callebout, the conversion of former high rail lines into green recreation spaces, the meditation gardens of Piet Oudolf, and the vertical gardens of Patrick Blanc. These days, we feel close to greenery, just as we feel close to our pets. We tend and nurture the seeds and stalks, the leaves and flowers, the shrubs and grasses, the bushes and trees, with a matchless solicitude. These culturally coded natural phenomena also have therapeutic qualities, because they offer us self-determination and the possibility to share in social development. This is nothing less than the reintegration of the first, primal nature into the context of the conditions that have become ubiquitous today into the context of what has, today, become 'second nature'. For some people, such as the campaigners of 'Guerilla Gardening', these plants, wild and domestic, provide a way of criticizing the system; others, such as vertical planners of wall gardens like Ken Yeang, utopia-infatuated and bitten by the green bug, presumably see themselves as an avant-garde working in harmony with the system. Volker Fischer was deputy director of the Deutsches Architekturmuseum in Frankfurt am Main for over ten years. From 1994 to 2012 he has built up a new design department at the Museum for Applied Arts in Frankfurt. At the same time, he taught on the history of architecture and design at the Hochschule fur Gestaltung in Offenbach.

'A vertical forest' is the book in which Stefano Boeri said the project of what has become one of the most emblematic buildings in Milan. An attempt to introduce a concept in architecture that until now it has been completely alien: biodiversity. The vertical forest is indeed not only a building thought to be inhabited by humans, but also from other species (birds, insects) that the unstoppable dominance of the concrete has been driven from our city.
