Abstract

"Until now, writings about the architect/landscape architect Georges Descombes have been relatively limited, appearing primarily in publications in Switzerland and abroad as conversations, interviews, and conference proceedings; most of them have appeared only in French. However, during his forty years of practice, Descombes has developed and applied a method unique to landscape architecture, one in which an extremely broad vision, both scientifically and culturally, shapes his thinking and projects. Descombes enters each project by attempting to understand the existing conditions on site and how, using minimal means and interventions, those conditions can be modified to meet the requirements of the program and those appropriate to the natural or urban environment. To some critics it would appear that Descombes has always done too little on and to the site, and in some instances have condemned him for "doing almost nothing." Although simplicity usually demands greater concentration and study, it often yields greater rewards that result from just that restraint. Perhaps how we approach the world is more important that how we shape the world. Descombes's landscapes are instructive in this regard. In our current era, the concern for the planet as a whole, its dwindling resources, the despoiling of its air, water, and land, and an exploding population have skewed the profession's focus toward sustainability, ecology, resilience, and other related concerns. In the process, the social role played by landscape architecture has been lessened, if not forgotten, and the role of form, space, composition, and materials--that is to say the aesthetic dimension of landscape design--has become a distant concern. Descombes's practice strikes that vital balance between effective environmental performance and the ethical creation of beauty. Instead of favoring one pursuit over the other, or relying on a delimiting specialization, he works in a way that may be justifiably regarded as both/and rather than either/or - a comprehensive vision that weds nature and culture, landscape and architecture, people and milieu."--

Abstract

"Cet ouvrage présente un ensemble de projets, réalisés ou non, de Georges Descombes sous forme de vingt-et-un leporellos. Un vingt-deuxième les accompagne, une suite de photographies de Carmen Perrin. On peut trouver dans tous ces projets une attention obstinée à ce qui est déjà là, et une même question : que peut devenir ce site, qu'y déplacer? Certains de ces projets ont été réalisés pour diverses manifestations ou expositions artistiques, et cette proximité a eu en retour une grande influence sur eux. Ce furent des occasions de contacts directs avec un monde artistique, agissant comme un "rappel à l'ordre" par des œuvres qui mettaient toutes l'accent sur l'art comme expérience, et qui utilisaient sans aucune hiérarchie tous les matériaux, même les plus pauvres. Et comment mieux définir l'architecture que comme un art par excellence de l'expérience ?" [éditeur]

Abstract

L'Aire restaurée et son paysage redeviennent vivants par la tension entre des formes passées et présentes, comme pour résister à la tentation de créer une réalité nouvelle sans rupture. Le projet affirme que toute régénération du paysage est un acte profondément culturel, tout autant qu'il est un processus écologique. Les histoires naturelles et culturelles du site s'associent de manière critique, non comme de simples références stylistiques ou formelles, mais comme source de signification et de présence, exprimées dans la matérialité sensuelle du paysage South of Geneva, Switzerland, the Aire River runs across a plain that for centuries has been agricultural land. Since the late nineteenth century, the waterway has been embanked for flood protection, which has caused a gradual loss of habitat for a large variety of plants and animals. In 2001, a decision was made to renaturalize the river. Yet rather than merely reconstructing the river's former natural bed, Superpositions, the association of firms commissioned with the project, applied "topographic imagination," a method that combines the embanked channel with a newly designed pasture landscape.

Abstract

Catalogue de l'exposition "Biennale de Paris"montrant la place de choix que l'architecture tient entre toutes les formes de plus en plus diversifiées de la création. L'architecture renaît, elle est oeuvre, elle est lieu, le lieu de la création et le lieu de la présentation de l'oeuvre. Elle est pyramide, Parthénon, Tour de Babel, ou Louvre. Le thème choisi pour cette année 1985 illustre cette dualité, pour ne pas dire l'ambiguité de l'architecture actuelle.
