For better plans-and better projectsThe complete guide to site analysisSite analysis is the key to a well-designed project. In fact, the careful and complete analysis of a site and its surrounding context can lead to better development proposals, smoother design implementation, and, ultimately, higher quality built environments.This carefully conceived book is the first to detail each crucial step in the site analysis and planning process, from site selection through design development. It shows how these activities are integrated to arrive at a site plan that successfully balances the needs of the client and other stakeholders with the site's suitability for the intended land uses. With more than 130 illustrations, this book includes many outstanding examples of maps and site plans created by leading land planning firms. It offers guidance on:* Site identification, evaluation, and selection* Site inventories of physical, biological, and cultural attributes* Land use suitability analysis using Geographic Information Systems (GIS)* Concept planning and design development* Graphic communication with clients, government agencies, and other stakeholdersFilled with need-to-know information on the entire land planning and design process, Site Analysis is a vital addition to the library of students and professionals in landscape architecture, urban design and planning, and related areas.

The first edition of this book, published in 1994, reshaped the direction of landscape studies by considering landscape not simply as an object to be seen or a text to be read, but as an instrument of cultural force, a central tool in the creation of national and social identities. This second edition adds not only a new preface, but five new essays—from Edward Said, W. J. T. Mitchell, Jonathan Bordo, Michael Taussig, and Robert Pogue Harrison-extending the scope of the book in remarkable ways.

With populations decentralizing and cities sprawling ever-outward, twenty-first-century urban planners are challenged by the need to organize not just people but space itself. Hence a new architectural discourse has emerged: landscape urbanism.In The Landscape Urbanism Reader Charles Waldheim who is at the forefront of this new movement has assembled the definitive collection of essays by many of the field's top practitioners. Fourteen essays written by leading figures across a range of disciplines and from around the world including James Corner, Linda Pollak, Alan Berger, Pierre B langer, Julia Czerniak, and more capture the origins, the contemporary milieu, and the aspirations of this relatively new field. The Landscape Urbanism Reader is an inspiring signal to the future of city making as well as an indispensable reference for students, teachers, architects, and urban planners.

René Pechère, un des grands créateurs européens de jardins de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle, s'est fait connaître par le jardin des quatre saisons et le jardin congolais qu'il réalisa à l'Exposition de Bruxelles en 1958, puis par ceux qu'il créa pour des châteaux ou de simples maisons en Belgique, en France, en Allemagne ou en Hollande. Le labyrinthe et le jardin du coeur qu'il dessina pour les van Buuren à Uccle lui ont assuré une renommée internationale. Les textes de Laurent Grisel sont accompagnés de photographies contemporaines de Sylvie Desauw. Les jardins ont été photographiés au cours des différentes saisons, ce qui ajoute à l'originalité de l'ouvrage.

Urbanization is a global phenomenon that is increasingly challenging human society. It is therefore crucially important to ensure that the relentless expansion of cities and towns proceeds sustainably. Urban ecology, the interdisciplinary study of ecological patterns and processes in towns and cities, is a rapidly developing field that can provide a scientific basis for the informed decision-making and planning needed to create both viable and sustainable cities. Urban Ecology brings together an international team of leading scientists to discuss our current understanding of all aspects of urb
