Résumé:
Objectivity and attention to detail distinguish the architecture of Paul Baumgarten (1900-1984). Daring proportions, a quality of lightness and the perfect match of structure and materials characterize his work.

Résumé:
Objectivity and attention to detail distinguish the architecture of Paul Baumgarten (1900-1984). Daring proportions, a quality of lightness and the perfect match of structure and materials characterize his work. The Federal Supreme Court of Germany, subject of this monograph, was specifically conceived by Paul Baumgarten as the architectural expression of a modern legal practice and jurisprudence. Duotone photographs by Florian Profitlich capture what is now a protected historical monument, and original, previously unpublished plans provide documentation of the building's guiding architectural concept.

Résumé:
Today, designers are shifting the practice of landscape architecture towards the need for a more complex understanding of ecological science. Constructed Ecologies presents ecology as critical theory for design, and provides major ideas for design that are supported with solid and imaginative science. Margaret Grose presents wide-ranging new approaches and shows the importance of learning from science for design, of going beyond assumptions, of working in multiple rather than single issues, of disrupting linear design thinking, and of dealing with data.
