Résumé:
Modern architects are often condemned for a seeming disregard of site considerations such as climate, topography, and existing vegetation. Noted landscape and architectural historian Marc Treib counters this prevailing view in an authoritative and unprecedented survey of 20th-century buildings and their landscapes. Exploring a range of architectural, philosophical, and theoretical approaches, Treib investigates the site strategies of five prominent modern-period architects: Frank Lloyd Wright (1867–1959), Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886–1969), Richard Neutra (1892–1970), Alvar Aalto (1898–1976), and Luis Barragán (1902–1988).

The labyrinth is one of the world's oldest symbols, and its meaning is often shrouded in myth and mystery or ties to religious rites. Today, this enigmatic form inspires artists to create their own interpretations in different, even unusual, ways, including by working with materials as varied as ice, snow, salt, wood, stone, glass, cement, and metal.

Résumé:
Le nom de " Bièvre ", qui désigne une rue parmi les plus célèbres de la capitale, est familier aux Parisiens et aux touristes arpentant les abords de la Seine vers Notre-Dame. La Bièvre est une rivière suburbaine exceptionnelle ; c'est le dernier cours d'eau à s'écouler jusqu'aux portes de Paris à l'air libre sur la plus grande partie de son parcours (soit 36 km). La Bièvre prend sa source à Guyancourt, près de Versailles dans les Yvelines, et se jette dans la Seine à Paris, au niveau de la gare d'Austerlitz. L'ouvrage interroge, de manière universelle, la question des rivières urbaines en relation avec la renaturation des sites, la dépollution et la qualité de l'eau, mais aussi leurs représentations dans le champ artistique en tant qu'élément marqueur de paysage, voire de pittoresque. Entre histoire locale et enjeu national la Bièvre est une rivière exemplaire pour la définition d'un nouveau rapport homme - nature. L'eau occupe une place clef dans ce livre qui soulève le problème " des nouvelles relations biotiques " du précieux liquide avec les villes, non seulement dans son aspect fonctionnel notamment lié aux risques écologiques dans une métropole dense, mais aussi du point de vue philosophique et citoyen face aux effets du changement climatique. La ville poreuse donnera de l'espace à l'eau pour minimiser ces risques : il faut inventer de nouvelles façons de vivre avec l'eau. La conservation de la biodiversité devra être un objectif prioritaire dans la ville de demain.

Résumé:
Intrepid Prussian explorer, scientist, diplomat and author Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) was reputedly the second best-known person in early nineteenth-century France (Stephen Jay Gould describes him as "probably the world's most famous and influential intellectual [of his time]"), yet he is little known in the US today. From 1799 to 1804, Humboldt traversed about 6,000 miles, journeying through the Spanish American colonies (modern-day Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Mexico and Cuba) to observe nature in the "torrid zone," and later published some 30 volumes about his travels. This catalogue traces the breadth of Humboldt's influence through painting and objects, including work by Albert Bierstadt, Adela Breton, Norton Bush, Frederic Edwin Church, George Catlin, Martin Johnson Heade, Louis Rémy Mignot, Thomas Moran, Johann Moritz Rugendas and Mark Dion.

Résumé:
Throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, wall charts were a familiar classroom component, displaying scientific images at a large scale, in full color. But it's only now that they've been superseded as a teaching tool that we have begun to realize something their ubiquity hid: they are stunning examples of botanical art at its finest. This illustrated book gives the humble wall chart its due, reproducing more than two hundred of them in dazzling full color. Each wall chart is accompanied by captions that offer accessible information about the species featured, the scientists and botanical illustrators who created it, and any particularly interesting or innovative features the chart displays. And gardeners will be pleased to discover useful information about plant anatomy and morphology and species differences. We see lilies and tulips, gourds, aquatic plants, legumes, poisonous plants, and carnivorous plants, all presented in exquisite, larger-than-life detail.

There is scarcely any construction principle that can boast an equally extensive array of positive e ffects than the greening of the exterior and interior building envelope. "Green, greener, greenest : façades, roofs, indoors o ffers a comprehensive survey of a range of façade, roof and interior greenings. Here, it is plants that are the main building material: neatly arranged, they complement minimalist high-rise architecture; wildly rampant, they serve as an extravagant element of interior design; and through creative composition, they come to form a sophisticated work of art. The cross-disciplinary juxtaposition of technological progress and creative design is never far from view. Whether in an urban setting or part of a natural landscape, the projects showcased in this volume prove that there is still limitless creative potential in architectural greening, posing new and exciting challenges for designers and landscape architects alike.
