Résumé:
Thomas Church's 1948 Donnell garden in Sonoma, California, and Garrett Eckbo's 1959 ALCOA forecast garden in Los Angeles helped define the parameters of modern landscape design in the US. Although these gardens appear in almost every book on modern landscape architecture, the published facts and details have been relatively few. This volume assembles virtually all known documents on the two projects, including interviews with Church's collaborators and the holdings of the Environmental design archives, UC Berkeley.

Ten years after its initial publication, "Weather in the city" is more relevant than ever. Prolonged heat waves are a source of many stress-related problems, especially in densely populated areas. Certain wind phenomena in cities have also caused issues in the atmosphere. Based on these factors, Sanda Lenzholzer shows how basic climatic processes work in an urban(...)

Résumé:
Ten years after its initial publication, "Weather in the city" is more relevant than ever. Prolonged heat waves are a source of many stress-related problems, especially in densely populated areas. Certain wind phenomena in cities have also caused issues in the atmosphere. Based on these factors, Sanda Lenzholzer shows how basic climatic processes work in an urban environment, and how they can be influenced by spatial planning and urban design. This revised edition draws on current examples in demonstrating how the comfort of the urban environment can be enhanced using modern techniques and new methods. The book is both a reference work and a source of inspiration for all those engaged in creating a liveable city: be they clients, policymakers, professionals or students involved in urban design, landscape architecture and planning.

Résumé:
Climate change is already influencing how and where people live. In ''North'', Jesse M. Keenan argues that America is entering a new era marked by shifts in population that will transform everything from the physical landscape of cities to electoral politics. First, Keenan examines how human mobility is shaped by the environment and the economy. Next, he provides a conceptual and empirical overview of adaptation science, with a focus on how people, governments, and markets are preparing for and responding to climate impacts. He documents how physical impacts in the built environment, escalating costs, and public sector inertia are converging to drive people out of high-risk areas, while, at the same time, certain other areas are attracting people who seek a more sustainable way of life. ''North'' is not just a collection of scientific observations and projections about the peril of those left behind. It is also a projection of optimism about America's capacity for decarbonization, environmental stewardship, and economic mobility for those on the move.

Résumé:
The destruction meted out on Britain's city center during the 20th century, by the combined efforts of the Luftwaffe and brutalist city planners, is legendary. Medieval churches, Tudor alleyways, Georgian terraces, and Victorian theatres vanished forever, to be replaced by a gruesome landscape of concrete office blocks and characterless shopping malls. Now, for the first time, architectural historian Gavin Stamp shows exactly what has been lost. Reproduced in this haunting volume are hundreds of top-quality photographs of cities, showing streets and buildings that are gone forever. The accompanying text traces their creation and destruction, remembering the massive campaign to save the Euston Arch, wantonly demolished in 1962, and mourning the loss of lovely medieval Coventry, which was already doomed by the city planners even before German air raids intervened. Alternately fascinating, enraging, and heartbreaking, this is an extraordinary evocation of Britain's architectural past, and a much-needed reminder of the importance of preserving heritage.

Résumé:
Harvard University Graduate School of Design has always recognized the indispensable importance and values of architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning, and urban design, yet has transcended their individual aspirations through intellectual cross-fertilization and collaboration. The material presented in this publication forms a small part of the incredible range and diversity of proposals and visions that the GSD students and faculty have produced during the past academic year. This work is indicative of the School s commitment, as a global leader in the field, to exploring and articulating transformative ideas through the power of design. It is as important for us to share and communicate the outcome of our research and design investigations as it is to show the fertile circumstances and conditions for the making of these projects.
