Résumé:
In the late 1990s, three monuments -- Crab Park "Boulder," "Marker of Change," and Standing "with Courage, Strength and Pride" -- were built in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. Located within a few city blocks of one another, the monuments were grassroots initiatives that challenged the norms of civic art by claiming a place in public space for society's more vulnerable groups, and each figured in debates about many kinds of violence. "Speaking for a Long Time" offers unique insights into the creation of memorials and the multiple, often contested meanings that can be attached to them in local communities. Part 1, "Act," explores the monuments' origin stories and highlights the distinctive perspectives of their founders. Part 2, "Frame," places these narratives in the context of modern debates and theories on public space and social memory. Part 3, "Forge," returns to the Downtown Eastside to show how the resilience and agency of grassroots activists can give the socially marginalized a visible presence in our urban landscapes. This vivid account of the creation of memory-scapes in a marginalized community asks us to reconsider what constitutes public art that will "speak for a long time."

Résumé:
Le premier jardin est celui de l'homme ayant choisi de faire cesser l'errance. Il n'y a pas d'époque pour cette étape dans la vie d'un homme ou d'une société. Le premier jardin est vivrier. Le jardin potager est le premier jardin. Il est intemporel car il fonde l'histoire des jardins mais la traverse et la marque profondément dans toutes ses périodes. Le premier jardin est un enclos. Il convient de protéger le bien précieux du jardin ; les légumes, les fruits, puis les fleurs, les animaux, l'art de vivre, ce qui, au fil du temps, ne cessera d'apparaître comme le " meilleur ". C'est la façon d'interpréter le meilleur qui, en fonction des modèles de civilisation, va déterminer le style des jardins. La notion de meilleur, de bien précieux, ne cesse d'évoluer. La scénographie destinée à valoriser le meilleur s'adapte au changement des fondamentaux du jardin mais le principe du jardin demeure constant : s'approcher le plus possible du paradis.

Résumé:
Reviewing the use of natural light by architects in the era of electricity, this book aims to show that natural light not only remains a potential source of order in architecture, but that natural lighting strategies impose a usefully creative discipline on design. Considering an approach to environmental context that sees light as a critical aspect of place, this book explores current attitudes to natural light by offering a series of in-depth studies of recent projects and the particular lighting issues they have addressed. It gives a more nuanced appraisal of these lighting strategies by setting them within their broader topographic, climatic and cultural contexts.

Résumé:
While we all live our lives in designed landscapes of various types, only on occasion do we consider what these landscapes mean to us and how they have acquired that significance. Can a landscape architect or garden designer really imbue new settings with meaning, or does meaning evolve over time, created by those who perceive and use these landscapes? What role does the selection and arrangement of plants and hard materials play in this process and just where does the passage of time enter into the equation? These questions collectively provide the core material for Meaning in Landscape Architecture and Gardens, a compendium of four landmark essays written over a period of twenty years by leading scholars in the field of landscape architecture. New commentaries by the authors accompany each of the essays and reflect on the thinking behind them as well as the evolution of the author’s thoughts since their original publication.
