Résumé:
Telling the story of one of the most important gardens in Europe, created by the internationally celebrated architectural critic and designer Charles Jencks and his late wife, the landscape architect and author Maggie Keswick, this book looks at The Garden of Cosmic Speculation. It is a landscape that celebrates the new sciences of complexity and chaos theory and consists of a series of metaphors exploring the origins, the destiny and the substance of the Universe. The garden is full of ideas, associations, games and memories; Jencks weaves his personal account of the garden's creation into an investigation into the revelations of recent science, using landscape and design to shed light on the way we can now conceive of the Universe. This book is illustrated with year-round photography

Résumé:
Jean-Marie Morel (1728–1810), a leading French landscape designer and theorist, is now mainly remembered as the author of one of the fundamental eighteenth-century texts in the history of landscape architecture, the 'Théorie des jardins' (1776; second edition, 1802). With his background as an engineer, Morel was instrumental in shaping the functions of landscape architecture, opening up a new professional domain by coining the term architecte-paysagiste, the precursor to the modern designation landscape architect. This translation marks the first time the 1776 edition of the 'Théorie des jardins' is available in English.

Résumé:
"Poetic imaginations" at Aedes stages a chapter on Zhu Pei’s handling of the ‘collective historical experience’, topography, function and contemporary context of a location. The exhibition presents six representative cultural buildings that, despite their different functions and surroundings, are related to one another by characteristic structures, materials and architectural forms. Based on impressively crafted architectural models, sketches, documentary films and publications, the process of creating these examples is presented in greater depth. While the built environment in China has undergone rapid transformation, Zhu Pei has reflected on historical-philosophical ideas of harmony between people and nature and weaving traditional architectural knowledge into contemporary spatial solutions. His conceptual considerations are based on elements from the tradition of Shan Shui painting, which is deeply rooted in Chinese culture. It is a particular form of landscape painting whose indispensable components are mountains and water. It shows and teaches a mode of perception that regards us as human beings not as an antithesis to, but instead as part of "nature."

Résumé:
The cultural legacy of Romantic Paris includes a museum that shelters fragments rescued from the rubble of the Revolution and the display of masterpieces open to one and all that we visit today as the Louvre. Old neighbourhoods were renewed with gleaming arcades of iron and glass prefiguring contemporary shopping malls, and entire neighbourhoods were built from scratch. Marrinan plots the zigzag trajectory of the monuments, spaces, and habits of a city that both looks back to the past and forward in time with all the optimism, self-doubts, and creative energy of a culture poised at the threshold of modernity.

Résumé:
L’arrondissement historique et naturel du mont Royal est l’un des plus remarquables au Canada, sinon en Amérique du Nord, et le campus de l’Université de Montréal en constitue une composante essentielle. Étonnamment, il n’existait pas jusqu’ici un ouvrage qui en trace un portrait d’ensemble. C’est le défi qu’a relevé une équipe de la Chaire de recherche du Canada en patrimoine bâti de l’École d’architecture de la Faculté de l’aménagement. Ce guide s’intéresse à l’architecture, aux aménagements paysagers et aux paysages du campus depuis son implantation. Mais au-delà de la description des attributs physiques des lieux et de certains rappels historiques, les auteures ont voulu mettre en valeur les liens entre les différentes composantes.
