Résumé:
Detailing architect Florian Beigel's prize-winning land reclamation project, this book is a study of urban planning typology and the derivation of an urban land-use concept plan based thereon including solutions to environmental issues. Florian Beigel and the Architecture Research Unit were invited by the Provincial Government of Jeollabukdo, Korea in 2008, along with seven other teams to participate in an international ideas competition to develop urban design proposals for the Saemangeum land reclamation project. Saemangeum Island City comprises a surface area of some 400 km^2, more than a quarter of the area of Greater London (which is approx. 1.570 km^2). The design project by ARU / London Metropolitan University was declared one of three winning competition proposals and selected to be part of the main exhibition at the 2010 Venice Biennale. The urban land-use concept plan begins with a phased landscape infrastructure design of 8 new islands with a highly remarkable solution as to environmental issues.

Résumé:
The purpose of investigating the overlaps between architecture and biology is neither to draw borders or make further distinctions nor to declare architecture alive, but to clarify what is currently happening in the blurred fields, and to investigate the emerging discipline of biomimetics in architecture. An overview of the present state of research in the relatively young scientific field of biomimetics shows the potential of the approach. The new discipline aims at innovation by making use of the subtle systems and solutions in nature having evolved within millions of years. Approaches that have been taken to transfer nature's principles to architecture have provided successful developments. The new approach presented in this book transfers the abstract concept of life onto built environment. Strategic search for life's criteria in architecture delivers a new view of architectural achievements and makes the innovative potential visible.

Résumé:
Landscapes are all around us, but most of us know very little about how they have developed, what goes on in them, and how they react to changing climates, tectonics, and human activities. Examining what landscape is, and how we use a range of ideas and techniques to study it, Andrew Goudie and Heather Viles demonstrate how scientists have built on classic methods--pioneered by the great researchers of the nineteenth century--to shed new light on our planet. Using examples from around the world, including New Zealand, the Tibetan Plateau, and the deserts of the Middle East, they examine some of the key controls on landscape today such as tectonics and climate, as well as humans and the living world. They also discuss some major "landscape detectives" from the past, including Charles Darwin, who did some important, but often overlooked, research on landscape. Concluding with the cultural importance of landscape, and exploring how this has led to the conservation of much "earth heritage," they delve into the future and look at how we can predict the response of landscapes to the projected climate change.

Dubaï collectionnait les records : le plus grand hôtel du monde, la plus grande tour, la plus grande concentration de grues... Or, fin 2009, Dubaï et son fleuron, la société publique Dubaï World, échappent difficilement à la faillite : dette estimée à 59 milliards de dollars! Cette chute symbolise la fin d'un cycle dans le développement urbain - et dans la manière de faire la ville - dans l'urbanisme. Tel est le propos de cet essai qui veut, à la fois, saisir les changements profonds dans la manière de "faire la ville" qui se sont opérés depuis trente ans sous la pression de l'urbanisme libéral, les conséquences des bouleversements actuels, et dessiner des pistes possibles pour l'urbanisme d'après crise qui est pour l'instant encore balbutiant.

Résumé:
There has been a Dutch policy on the compact city for almost a quarter of a century now. It has been driven by the four major cities in Randstad Holland which, following the economic crises of the 1970s and the policy of clustered dispersal, found themselves confronted with a massive decrease in middle and higher income groups. At the same time there were new insights into the importance of strong cities in the emerging global network economy. This collection of writings takes stock of the situation and traces a number of contour lines that suggest ways a compact city policy can be meaningful and effective in today’s setting.
