L'augmentation de la population urbaine en densité et en nombre d'habitants entraîne l'extension des villes, autant horizontalement que verticalement. Architectes et designers urbains conçoivent alors de nouvelles structures expérimentales tout en exploitant les constructions existantes dans l'idée de les réinventer ou de les développer. Ainsi, le toit d'un bâtiment, élément autrefois anodin, est aujourd'hui un espace de la ville en soi, apprécié car il permet de gagner des pièces supplémentaires pour vivre ou de devenir un refuge inspirant, préservé de l'agitation de la métropole. Cette sélection des toits urbains dans le monde fait l'inventaire d'une nouvelle dimension de la ville. À travers plus de 50 bars, restaurants, installations artistiques temporaires et jardins, elle témoigne de la variété des réalisations ingénieuses et exubérantes qui embellissent les sommets des métropoles de Sydney à Hong Kong, d'Oslo à Chicago. Que ce soit pour sa vue panoramique, son exposition aux éléments ou le léger vertige dû à sa hauteur, on constate à quel point le toit a produit une invention architecturale, tout en transformant complètement la façon et l'exaltation de vivre en ville. Comme les précédents Tree Houses et Cabins, Urban Rooftops se caractérise à la fois par des photographies magnifiques et des illustrations brillantes et contemporaines signées Boyoun Kim. À l'image de tous les livres des séries TASCHEN sur l'architecture, il célèbre autant les figures consacrées que les talents prometteurs du secteur. Présentant des artistes de ce mouvement au plus près des cieux, il inclut les lauréats du prix Pritzker, Norman Foster et Shigeru Ban, mais aussi Jeffrey Inaba, Julien de Smedt (JDS), ainsi que les concepteurs paysagistes tels que Ken Smith et Vladimir Djurovic. As urban living intensifies in density and numbers, the city landscape expands both outwards and upwards. Architects and urban designers craft new and experimental structures while also investigating existing buildings for potential reinvention or expansion. In particular, the roof of a building, once a perfunctory structural element, is now a city space in and of itself, beloved for the capacity to eke out further room for living or to craft inspiring refuges away from the bustle of the metropolis. This international selection of urban rooftops catalogs a new urban dimension. Through over 50 bars, restaurants, temporary art installations, and gardens, it testifies to the variety of intelligent and exuberant designs that grace city summits from Sydney to Hong Kong, Oslo to Chicago. Whether it's the panoramic views, the exposure to the elements, or a slight giddiness that comes with height, we see just how the roof has nurtured not only architectural invention but a whole new facet and thrill to city living. Just like its predecessors Tree Houses and Cabins, Urban Rooftops features both brilliant photography and bright, contemporary illustration. As with all books in TASCHEN's architecture series, it also celebrates both the established and the rising talents of the industry. Featured artists in this movement towards the skies include Pritzker Prize winners Norman Foster and Shigeru Ban, Jeffrey Inaba, Julien de Smedt (JDS), and landscape designers such as Ken Smith and Vladimir Djurovic.

This open access book is based on work from the COST Action RESTORE - REthinking Sustainability TOwards a Regenerative Economy, and highlights how sustainability in buildings, facilities and urban governance is crucial for a future that is socially just, ecologically restorative, and economically viable, for Europe and the whole planet. In light of the search for fair solutions to the climate crisis, the authors outline the urgency for the built environment sector to implement adaptation and mitigation strategies, as well as a just transition. As shown in the chapters, this can be done by applying a broader framework that enriches places, people, ecology, culture, and climate, at the core of the design task - with a particular emphasis on the benefits towards health and resilient business practices. This book is one step on the way to a paradigm shift towards restorative sustainability for new and existing buildings. The authors want to promote forward thinking and multidisciplinary knowledge, leading to solutions that celebrate the richness of design creativity. In this vision, cities of the future will enhance users' experience, health and wellbeing inside and outside of buildings, while reconciling anthropic ecosystems and nature. A valuable resource for scientists and students in environmental sciences and architecture, as well as policy makers, practitioners and investors in urban and regional development.
