Presents a condition of contemporary landscape by measuring it through a direct and immediate form: terms, definitions, ideas, micro-stories, short texts, notes. It is a collection of instant snaps rather than a complete critical and theoretical look at the subject. Includes contributions from architects and landscape architects, as well as philosophers, critics, poets and geographers.

a+u’s July issue features landscape urbanism in France. Since the 1970s, the pioneering generation of Michel Corajoud, Alexandre Chemetoff, Gilles Clément, and Jacques Simon – all profiled on these pages – have brought the modern discipline of landscape architecture in France, and its long insistence on a horticultural approach, into the urban realm. Yet as guest editors Henri Bava and Antoine Picon argue in their introductory essay, this urban turn has its deep origins in agriculture and land management, formal gardens, and the military and civil engineering practices of France’s early modern period, in the 18th and 19th centuries. Charles Waldheim further notes that these paysagistes “advocated for a kind of landscape thinking informed by the study of regional geology, hydrology, and ecology in service of flexible urban strategies rather than by master plans.” Featuring 6 canonical works by the pioneers, alongside 17 projects that represent current trends, the issue explores the evolution of a discipline. Landscape urbanism in France is now being realized in a multitude of forms, from repurposing asphalt into the palette of greenery to reinventing deindustrialized sites as spaces of respiration and repair. By “integrating various urban elements at a lower level of resolution,” “mobilizing not only the surface of the city but also the underlying realities of the soil and geology,” and using “the capacity of landscape to function at extremely different scales,” landscape architects and others of a similar practice are at the leading edge of tackling the challenges and pursing the recovery of modern cities.

This book revolves around five landscape projects. Each one is presented as a story about transforming a 'land' - a given terrain - into a 'landscape' and altering its perception.

Contempororary garden festivals provide a laboratory for landscape designers to experiment with materials, methods and design concepts that can be adapted to their larger urban works. Experimenting Landscapes focuses on the Metis International Garden Festival in Quebec, Canada, which has presented more than 150 temporary gardens at the cutting edge of garden design and environmental art. The book features a selection of 25 projects as well as essays and reflections from festival designers to explore how the garden can challenge our assumptions, provide new meanings, and change how we see even the most familiar things.

"This groundbreaking work provides an overview of the whole creative realm of contemporary landscape architecture and open space design. Every aspect of the creation and production of these public and private spaces is thematized and elucidated. These spaces encompass an enormous variety, ranging from classic garden design and golf courses to greened façades, from guerrilla gardening and pedestrian zones to large-scale ecological interventions."--Back cover.
