Résumé:
This is a thoroughly revised and much extended version of a book that drew extensive praise in its first edition. Most parts have stood the test of time and remain. A few are replaced or removed; about a hundred figures appear for the first time. Most important is an entirely new (sixth) section. This brings together many of the urban characteristics, otherwise encountered in fragments through the book, in one walkable district of what is arguably Japan 's most convenient metropolis, Nagoya.

Résumé:
What form of housing will emerge in Dubai, where the majority of the population are non-citizens and average length of stay three days? How will depopulating cities reclaim vacant space, reorganize infrastructure and redefine their economic identity? What type of architecture results from the prevalence of airborne contaminants? What kind of urbanism does Google Earth produce? Exploring the increasingly decentralized systems through which cities are organized and produced, this publication highlights the architectural practices that are emerging in response. Unlike early models of urbanism, in which centralized models of production, communication and governance were sited within a central business district, contemporary urbanism is shaped by remote, distributed mechanisms such as information technologies, (i.e. SatNav, Google Earth, E-trade, Photosynth or RSS web feeds) cooperative economic models and environmental networks, many of which are physically remote from the cities they shape. Consisting of a collection of case studies on global cities including Rotterdam, Tokyo, Barcelona, Detroit, Hong Kong, Dubai, Beijing and Mumbai, the authors draw on these cities in relation to current events, urban schemes and demographic data.

Résumé:
There is a vast amount of information about a city which is invisible to the human eye – crime levels, transportation patterns, cell phone use and air quality to name just a few. If a city was able to be defined by these characteristics, what form would it take? How could it be mapped? Nadia Amoroso tackles these questions by taking statistical urban data and exploring(...)

Planning the night-time city
$67.50
(disponible sur commande)
Résumé:
This book draws on international case study research to explain how changing approaches to evening and night-time activities have been conceptualized in planning practice in the UK. It explains how these ideas have been subverted by the entertainment industry to the point that some micro-districts in certain regenerated and creative cities have now been dubbed ‘no-go’ areas.

Résumé:
Certes, les philologues disposent de nombreuses sources, en grec et en latin, qui en livrent une première impression. Les archéologues, toutefois, éprouvent souvent des difficultés à mettre en évidence leurs vestiges. En partant à la recherche des jardins antiques, il faut être conscient de leurs fonctions multiples: potager et verger pour se nourrir et se soigner, vigne, jardin d'agrément, parc, bois sacré, jardin funéraire, etc. De plus, la création et l'utilisation des jardins varient selon les différentes cultures antiques (grecque, romaine ou celtique). Des membres de l'Institut d'Archéologie et des Sciences de l'Antiquité de l'Université de Lausanne proposent une approche pluridisciplinaire qui révèle l'état de nos connaissances sur les jardins antiques.
