Résumé:
While the New York Botanical Garden, the High Line, and Central Park are familiar names and places, other venues, such as Roosevelt Park, the Inwood Heather Garden, Brooklyn Bridge Park, and the Chinese Scholar's Garden, remain relatively under-visited and under-appreciated. In addition to parks and three botanical gardens, public horticulture in New York encompasses community- and conservancy-sponsored gardens, vest pocket parks, museum gardens, and even indoor atria. ''City Green: Public Gardens of New York'' focuses on the vitality, variety, and beauty of the city's garden landscapes in a time when the appreciation for how gardens enhance the quality of urban life is on the rise.

Résumé:
Economic decline and social cuts have engendered widespread unease across the whole of the Iberian Peninsula. In the case of architects, the situation is especially dire, as the region has seen the collapse of the housing market and diminishing funds for public projects. This issue of AV Monographs concentrates its focus on Portugal, where there is yet an optimistic outlook for exceptional architecture which demonstrates both material quality and formal refrain. Included are texts by Luis Fernández-Galiano and Jorge Figueira, plus diverse projects like the Lisbon Oceanarium Extension by Pedro Campos Costa, Casa NuDi by Nuno Piedade Alexandre, and the Pedestrian Bridge in Covilhã by Carrilho da Graça & Afaconsult.

Résumé:
Plunge into the ancestral water wisdom that could reshape all our futures. This book reveals how Indigenous innovations—like floating farms, tidal fish traps, and aquifer recharge systems—have sustained civilizations for millennia by working with nature, not against it. Far from relics, these systems offer dynamic, adaptable solutions for the climate crisis of today. Structured to bridge past and future, the author Julia Watson dissolves the divide between technology and ecology, between ancestral wisdom and digital innovation. The TEKnological Renaissance it celebrates redefines water as an intelligent force that can shape resilient cities and landscapes. Aquatic infrastructure is reframed—from extractive and industrial into regenerative and evolving—designed to sustain life for generations.
