Résumé:
Famous for massive public art projects, including "Wrapped Coast, One Million Square Feet" in Australia and "Running Fence" in Northern California, Christo Javacheff and his wife Jeanne-Claude were used to dealing with intransigent bureaucracies. But they hadn't reckoned with New York City. The couple's 1979 project--temporarily placing thousands of saffron-colored banners across the walkways of 843-acre Central Park--did not receive the city's blessing until 2003. Published in advance of the 16-day installation in February 2005, Christo and Jeanne-Claude: The Gates is a picture book that moves briskly from photographs of early presentations and hearings to numerous shots of workers assembling the steel, aluminum, vinyl and rip-stop nylon components of the piece.

Résumé:
A book for all the senses, exuding the flowery scent of wallflower, tufted violet, vanilla, calamint, lavender, and sage. Olafur Eliasson (*1967 in Copenhagen) is one of the most famous artists of his generation. In his installations, the Icelandic artist deals with aspects of land art, transplanting his contemporary interpretations of it to museums and thoughtfully planned park settings. The scented tunnel created for Wolfsburg, Germany's motor city, elucidates a fascinating interplay of nature and technology, where multiple sensory impressions combine to form a whole in the observer's perception. This publication documents Dufttunnel throughout an entire season. The various blooming phases of different plants are accompanied by scientific and art-historical interpretations of the Dufttunnel phenomenon.

Résumé:
Since the famous competition for the Park La Villette in Paris where the participants included Bernard Tschumi, Peter Eisenman and Gilles Deleuze, the relationship between building and landscape has been dramatically transformed. Concepts such as metamorphosis and interaction, layers and fields are becoming as much a part of architectonic discourse as the practical designs and the realization. Author Paola Gregory examines this interplay between buildings and landscapes present in today´s architecture scene, illustrating her analysis with exciting examples including the ecological landscapes of James Wines and Greg Lynn, the virtual environments of Marcos Novak and Nox, buildings by Jean Nouvel and Toyo Ito which actively incorporate passers-by and surroundings by means of new media.
