Résumé:
George Plumptre traces the use of ornamental features throughout the history of the Western garden from the great formal gardens of Italy and France to the more intimate creations of contemporary design. Taking the principal categories of ornament in turn, he shows how, over the last five hundred years, garden designers have used stone, wood, and metal to enhance and modify the natural features of the landscape. He then analyzes the role of ornament in modern garden design, showing how long-held and tested principles of design can be applied imaginatively in the typical modern garden. With special contribution by Jamie Garnock and James Rylands. Photographs by Hugh Palmer.

Cities and landscape are inextricably linked. Without landscape there is no city and without city there is no landscape as we know it. Nowadays it is hard to hold on to the distinction between landscape and city – the whole planet has become urban. This raises new questions. How can cities defend themselves against climate change?

Nowadays it is hard to hold on to the distinction between landscape and city – the whole planet has become urban. This raises new questions. How can cities defend themselves against climate change? How can you guarantee the supply of drinking water in cities with tens of millions of residents? What can be done about smog choking metropoles? Is food security possible if there is less and less fertile farmland? Rooted City investigates these questions by means of an essay and examples of thirty European cities.

Résumé:
Confronting the work of widely celebrated photographers Annie Leibovitz, Gregory Crewdson and Andreas Gursky, Photography’s Neoliberal Realism examines how these artists produce capitalism’s equivalent of the Soviet Union’s socialist realism by giving photographic form to widely held and rarely questioned beliefs and ideas. The ideological framework that Colberg terms ‘neoliberal realism’ serves to cement an economic system whose many fault lines are becoming increasingly clear, such as staggering inequality and racial disparities. This extended essay provides an alternative reading of photographic works laden with artifice, and argues how focusing on this artifice misses the more far-reaching ways such images operate in our visual economy.

Many argue that high-rises deliver positive environmental effects, such as densification, and reduction of traffic and C02 emissions. But is it really that simple? On closer critical observation many questions arise and are explored in this book. What is the impact of tall buildings on their environment? What are ideal densities? What makes a tall building a success? Do high-rises live up to the claims made for them? How sustainable is a high-rise building? Can it be re-used? How can one reduce the environmental impact of a tower?

Résumé:
In the last issue, the editorial dealt with how far outside of the generally accepted definition of collage we wanted to go in order to discuss it and to compare it to other art forms. It was written to help our readers understand the project’s whole process and, in practical terms, to help artists to determine if their work would be eligible or considered.

Résumé:
Across the world, the housing crisis is escalating. Mass migration to cities has led to rapid urbanisation on an unprecedented scale, while the withdrawal of public funding from social housing provision in Western countries, and widening income inequality, have further compounded the situation. In response to this context, forward-thinking architects are taking the lead with a collaborative approach. By partnering with allied fields, working with residents, developing new forms of housing, and leveraging new funding systems and policies, they are providing strategic leadership for what many consider to be our cities’ most pressing crisis. Amidst growing economic and health disparities, this issue of AD asks how housing projects, and the design processes behind them, might be interventions towards greater social equity, and how collaborative work in housing might reposition the architectural profession at large.
