Abstract

"What does the landscape architect actually do as a design?" The authors investigate this seemingly simple question. What resources are available for designing open spaces? What part is played by conditions deriving from nature? How are locations and spaces created in the open air, how are paths routed and boundaries set, how are hard and soft materials used? Drawing on practical and theoretical experience, this introduction, often used as a textbook, reveals the central components of design and the intellectual paths followed in the design process."The book is not so much for reading but for doing. It plays with shapes, imagining how people feel in these shapes and seeing how shapes create a different experience of landscape. Vegetation can make the relief of a hill clearer, less clear, indistinct or hidden. The authors show this by sketches illustrating the text ... As an example of the way Loidl and Bernard set their readers thinking for themselves, I "e what they regard as good design: 'The paradox of a good design solution: more uniformity needs more variety.'Food for thought. Or read Open(ing) Spaces." (Martin Woestenburg in 'scape, 2006)

Abstract

Die Kulturhauptstadt Europas RUHR.2010, das Ruhrgebiet, ist einer der größten industriell geprägten Ballungsräume Europas. Kulturlandschaft und urbane Agrarwirtschaft sind hier einem hohen Innovationsdruck ausgesetzt. In dem Kulturhauptstadtprojekt "Zwei Berge, eine Kulturlandschaft" wagen Landschaftsarchitekt und Landwirt neue Experimente auf dem Feld von Schönheit und Nützlichkeit. The Ruhr area - European Capital of Culture RUHR.2010 and one of Europe's major agglomerations with an industrial history - is, just like every ordinary metropolitan area, deeply rooted in a cultural landscape. With the project "Two Hills, One Landscape", advanced landscape architects, farmers and foresters embark on new ventures in the field of beauty and usefulness.

Abstract

Das 1990 gegründete Büro Palmbout Urban Landscapes kann gegenwärtig als das führende Städtebaubüro in den Niederlanden bezeichnet werden. Es kann beispielhaft für die aktuelle Praxis des städtebaulichen Entwerfens in diesem Land stehen. Charakteristisch für den Ansatz des Büros ist die andauernde Suche nach einem neuen Verhältnis von Städtebau, Architektur und Landschaftsentwurf. In diesem Untersuchungsprozess hat Palmbout Urban Landscapes ein eigenes Profil entwickelt, nicht nur auf dem Gebiet der Beziehung von Städtebau und Architektur, sondern vor allem bezogen auf die gegenseitigen Wechselbeziehungen von Städtebau, Landschaftsanalyse und -entwurf sowie Infrastruktur. Das Buch dokumentiert innerhalb von sechs Themenblöcken ca. 15 Projekte, unter denen so umfangreiche sein werden, wie Amsterdam Ijburg - die Gestaltung einer urbanen Ausdehnung von Amsterdam mit einer Gesamtfläche von 450 ha Neuland, mit 18.000 Wohnungen, 100.000 m2 Bürofläche, 30.000 m2 Ladenfläche sowie weiteren Einrichtungen, oder auch Maastricht Belvedere - die Restrukturierung einer ehemaligen Industriefläche von 280 ha mit 4.000 Wohnungen, 100.000 m2 Bürofläche, Parkanlagen und einer Verkehrsbrücke Founded in 1990, Palmbout Urban Landscapes is now one of the leading urban planning offices in the Netherlands. It exemplifies current practices of urban planning in that country. Its approach is characterized by a constant search for a new relationship between urban planning, architecture, and landscape architecture. In this process of experimentation, Palmbout Urban Landscapes has established a profile not only in the field of the relationship between urban planning and architecture but above all in terms of mutual interactions between urban planning, the analysis and design of landscape, and infrastructure. The book documents some fifteen projects organized into six thematic blocks, including such extensive projects as Amsterdam Ijburg, a design for an urban extension to Amsterdam with a total area of 450 hectares, 18,000 residences, 100,000 square meters of office space, 30,000 square meters of stores, and other facilities, and Maastricht Belvedere, a restructuring of 280 hectares of a former industrial site with 4,000 residences, 100,000 square meters of office space, parking lots, and a vehicle bridge.

Abstract

L’arrondissement historique et naturel du mont Royal est l’un des plus remarquables au Canada, sinon en Amérique du Nord, et le campus de l’Université de Montréal en constitue une composante essentielle. Étonnamment, il n’existait pas jusqu’ici un ouvrage qui en trace un portrait d’ensemble. C’est le défi qu’a relevé une équipe de la Chaire de recherche du Canada en patrimoine bâti de l’École d’architecture de la Faculté de l’aménagement. Ce guide s’intéresse à l’architecture, aux aménagements paysagers et aux paysages du campus depuis son implantation. Mais au-delà de la description des attributs physiques des lieux et de certains rappels historiques, les auteures ont voulu mettre en valeur les liens entre les différentes composantes. C’est précisément par ces rapports, croient-elles, que se comprend la richesse de ce patrimoine exceptionnel. Ce guide ne s’adresse donc pas seulement aux membres de la communauté universitaire d’aujourd’hui et d’hier, mais aussi à ceux et celles qui s’intéressent à l’histoire de Montréal et à l’architecture de paysage.

Abstract

With their centuries-long development, the English landscape garden, the formal French garden, as well Japanese and Chinese gardens constitute an unparalleled repository of design solutions familiar throughout the world. They are frequently drawn upon as reference works, but often in a piecemeal and haphazard fashion and from botanical or art-historical vantage points. That is where the books of this new series come in. They present the various garden types from the perspective of contemporary landscape and garden design. Starting from the formidable beauty of the world's most distinguished gardens, they point the way toward the essential compositional principles, the plants most commonly utilized and their most characteristic uses, and the possibilities for employing them in contemporary projects, thus providing readers with a rich source of inspiration for their own designs and creations. The panorama of "The Chinese Garden" stretches from the surviving historical gardens all the way to such modern examples as the garden at the Bank of China in Hong Kong (designed by I. M. Pei), Ai Weiwei's Yiwu Riverbank Park, the Garden of Flowering Fragrance in the Los Angeles, California, region and the Garden of Awakening Orchids in Portland, Oregon.

Abstract

Die Revolutionierung der Landschaftsarchitektur durch intelligente Materialien und Technologien Living Systems stellt eine Vielzahl von neuartigen Materialtechnologien für die Landschaftsarchitektur dar. Die Projekte und Materialien sind in enger Zusammenarbeit von Entwerfern, Ingenieuren, Wissenschaftlern und Ökologen entstanden. In einer Verbindung aus praxisorientierter Darstellung und theoretischem Hintergrund rücken Technologien zu Themen wie Wachstum, Fließen, Metabolismus, Klima und Wetterphänomenen in den Mittelpunkt. Die Darstellung vernetzt die Materialien und Technologien entsprechend ihrer Funktionsweisen, Prozesse und Eigenschaften miteinander. Detaillierte Zeichnungen und konstruktionsrelevante Fotos illustrieren die 36 internationalen Projekte und 23 Materialbeispiele. Zu den komplexen Systemen gehören vertikale Wachstumsstrukturen, Prävention vor Überflutungen, Anlagen zur Regenwasserversickerung sowie zur Minimierung von Bodenerosion. Beispielprojekte stammen unter anderem von West8 (Niederlande), GROSS.MAX (Großbritannien), Weiss-Manfredi Architects (USA), Kathryn Gustafson (USA) und Vogt Landschaftsarchitekten (Schweiz). Revolutionizing landscape architecture through the use of intelligent materials and technologies Living Systems surveys a wide array of innovative approaches to material technologies within the field of landscape architecture. The selected projects and materials exhibit a contemporary demand for technological landscapes and the collaboration between designers, engineers, scientists and ecologists. The book proposes a synthesis between technology and theory, focusing on growth, flow, metabolism, climate, and atmospheric phenomena. Projects and materials are cross-referenced according to performance criteria, processes, and properties. Each of the 36 international projects and 23 material technologies is presented with drawing details and construction photographs. Descriptions of key processes and adaptive qualities provide an analysis of the various complex systems featured, such as vertical growth structures, flood prevention, stormwater infiltration and erosion control. Projects featured include works by West8, GROSS.MAX, Weiss-Manfredi Architects, Field Operations, Kathryn Gustafson, and Vogt Landschaftarchitekten.
