Abstract

What makes a visually appealing landscape? How can the design and use of a landscape be harmonized? These are just some of the questions tackled in this refreshing approach to the subject. In 'Elements of Visual Design in the Landscape' the author explains a range of design principles. The book is profusely illustrated using both abstract and real examples taken from a wide range of international locations, together with cross references between related principles and case studies, demonstrating how principles can be applied to visually creative design and management. A unique feature of this book is the author's presentation of a vocabulary of visual design, structured in a logical and easy to follow sequence, which makes the book highly accessible even to non-designers who increasingly need to know about visual design in their work. There is also a glossary for the terms that may be unfamiliar to those coming into design for the first time. Given the broad range of the book it will be an important guide for students on landscape, architecture, planning and design courses, and professionals will also find it an ideal source of ideas and applications. This new edition includes revised and updated text that will link to other areas of research and disciplines such as aesthetic philosophy and psychology. A third of the photographs have been replaced with new photographs showing better and more recent examples and also reflecting landscape in a wider range of countries.

Abstract

Mahdia, ville millénaire tunisienne à l'âme marine, s'interroge sur le devenir de sa pierre. Son développement urbain côtoie aujourd'hui un nouvel horizon : la ligne de crête d'un ancien cordon littoral où se situent ses carrières. Exploitées, appropriées comme jardin nourricier et également délaissées, celles-ci s'intègrent au devenir de la ville. À peine visible de l'espace urbain, ces carrières ne sont pas des lieux communs. Elles font partie de son histoire. Le défi actuel est qu'elles contribuent aux desseins de cette ville, à son renouveau. Fruit d'une expérience internationale originale qui réunit étudiants, professeurs et experts en architecture de paysage, en architecture, en urbanisme et en études touristiques, ce livre raconte le travail d'expérimentation sur la réhabilitation paysagère des carrières de Mahdia. Misant sur l'apport créatif d'un arrimage culturel entre le Maghreb, le Moyen-Orient, l'Europe et l'Amérique du Nord, le workshop ravive les natures bien singulières des carrières et de leurs contextes. Et surtout, il expose un ensemble d'intentions en vue de leur mise en valeur et de leur développement. Véritable legs pour les citoyens de cette ville méditerranéenne, l'invention paysagère des carrières de Mahdia livre des solutions d'aménagement inédites en quête d'un lendemain.

Abstract

The landscape architect shapes the terrain and the space around a pre-existing construction or a developing urban or regional project. His aim is to offer the most poetic transcription of the language associated with a given architectural calculation. These professionals work with animated and inanimate physical structures which spring from geographical and social contexts, as well as from technical and economical conditions. Their imagination is the motor behind the creative, competent and playful solutions. The fifty projects presented in this book primarily show the designs of new spaces and successful restoration of others, which had previously had completely different uses, like a quarry or an industrial center. An index with contact information on the respective architects and designers is enclosed.
