Abstract

Concrete horizons, urban sprawl, high-density living: never have our cities and their buildings been in greater need of greening. Yet what’s required is more than an occasional vertical garden or living roof. Featuring seventy projects from around the world – some built, some ongoing, some from the future – Garden City looks at the increasingly inventive ways in which architects and designers are incorporating nature into the built environment, transforming the city for the benefit of all.

Abstract

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 catalogues 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. 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.
