Abstract

‘Dierschap’ is een inspirerend reflectieboek voor iedereen die op professionele basis bezig is met de planning, het ontwerp, de aanleg of het onderhoud van stedelijke ruimtes. Dieren spelen immers niet alleen een centrale rol in het leveren van allerhande ecosysteemdiensten, ze brengen ook kleur in de stad. Vaak bestaat er wel interesse bij stadsplanners, ontwerpers en beheerders om iets te doen voor stedelijke fauna, maar blijkt er in de praktijk toch veel aarzeling te bestaan. Hoe begin je eigenlijk aan het incorporeren van dieren in de planning, het ontwerp of beheer? Dit boek wil reflectie rond het onderwerp stimuleren en een aantal handvatten aanreiken. Met twee filosofische reflecties over de plaats van dieren in de stad en tien inspirerende verhalen vanuit het beleid, het ontwerp en de beheerpraktijk wil het boek het doelpubliek vooral over de streep trekken om weloverwogen aan de slag te gaan voor en met dieren in de stad.

Abstract

Die Landwirtschaft kehrt in neuer Gestalt in die Städte zurück. Wo findet sie hier Räume und wie kann sie das städtische Leben mitprägen? Die Motivation ist vielschichtig: Aufwertung städtischer Grünräume, Begegnung mit der Natur, Biodiversität - aber auch die Suche nach Zukunftsmodellen für eine nachhaltige Nahrungsmittelproduktion. Food Urbanism ist ein durchdachtes Entwurfs- und Planungsinstrument, das Typologien, Werkzeuge, Evaluierungsmethoden und Strategien vorstellt und praktische Anwendungsmethoden in der Stadt- und Landschaftsplanung zeigt. Die zahlreichen Projekte - in verschiedenen Maßstäben von groß zu klein - führen anschaulich vor Augen, wie Nahrungsproduktion die Lebensqualität im städtischen Raum verbessern kann.

Abstract

Climate change is one of the major challenges facing cities in the future. Landscape architecture is particularly in demand here because it offers solutions that are characterized by complexity and interdisciplinarity and contribute to the quality of everyday life. These range from green roofs and facades to urban gardening and the landscaping of large-scale protection works. This volume presents measures and plans of eleven major cities in North and South America, from Vancouver to Rio de Janeiro, to protect their inhabitants and their habitats against future storms, floods, landslides or long periods of heat and drought. Outstanding projects in the featured cities are analyzed in their geographic and climatic context. The author also addresses the social and cultural dimensions of resilience.

Abstract

City and country—these terms are generally regarded as opposites. The urban, with its constructed spaces and places, is separated from nature, with its mature landscapes and clearings. Yet, today’s landscape architecture explores both of them as a single system, making it possible to see the mutual dependency of these supposedly opposing developments. In view of massive changes in ecological systems, as well as increasing migration and the spread of unplanned human settlements, landscape architecture is also being confronted with global challenges. This catalogue is a plea to redefine the discipline’s position. Innovative but complex approaches are presented in examples of specific projects from all over the world. Landscape architecture today commits itself to the spatial systems that will shape tomorrow’s society.

Abstract

Moderne ideeën en technologieën veranderen onze kijk op elkaar en de omgeving. We proberen en leren nieuwe dingen die onze maatschappij duurzamer kunnen maken. Maar welke methode werkt het best in die transitie naar duurzaamheid?Dit boek onderzoekt hoe stedelijke verandering werkt en zorgt voor duurzame groei. Het identificeert factoren die de overgang naar een duurzame, klimaatneutrale stad versnellen en doet concrete beleidsvoorstellen.If you think innovation comes primarily from the business world...If you think city making can only be done by public administrations...If you think sustainability is for tree huggers...Think again.The future is the result of what we all create together. Change makers are the innovators of our time. Change the World City by City shines a light on their work by focusing on transition initiatives in five European cities. These initiatives aim to make the world a better place by changing the way we think, act and co-operate.At first glance, their transformative capacity might be tiny in a world dominated by large-scale corporations and powerful vested interests. Yet when you dive deeper, you will discover that making the future happens organically, everywhere, all the time, that urban innovation does not thrive on competition but on collaboration and that the work to make this world a better place starts with ourselves and not with others.Bron: https://www.lannoocampus.be/nl/change-world-city-city

Abstract

"The world's growing vulnerability to large scale risks is prompting action at the global scale. This book proposes that architects have played an under recognized but important role in imagining the future of the planet through world-scale projects, while examining the institutional and political scenarios that would make this possible. In so doing, they've reflected on the planetary repercussions wrought of diverse political, social, technological and environmental currents. Rather than indulging in the cliché of the megalomaniac architect, this book aims to presents a discipline reflecting on its own responsibilities, in which geographic and holistic considerations inform ethical and aesthetical positions. From Le Corbusier to Buckminster Fuller from Zaha Hadid to Super Studio and Design Earth, it provides a historical reference of 50 speculative projects from 1882 to the present. The book is the first compilation of its kind, as well as a critical reflection on the world as an architectural project. Curiously, architects have undertaken the world as a project before the advent of contemporary globalization and its associated risks. Their 'ecumenal' aspirations date back to the 19th century. While these visions may not resemble what globalization has produced in terms of physical environment, some tend to be anticipatorily critical of the inequalities it would eventually generate, and of the morass that urbanization would bring about. Some others caution against mistaking imagining the world as a totality for controlling it as such, while they stress the need for an architectural vocabulary to make it legible. The book shows how the world has been a rich domain for the modern architectural imaginary. It is also an invitation to reclaim the scale and challenges of the world, the whole world, as a vital architectural project"--

Abstract

The current ecological crisis will transform the face and fate of cities. Neighbourhoods for the Future is based on the conviction that we should rethink cities from the ambit of the neighbourhood. It revisits the neighbourhood as the designated scale and arena to build our urban futures. The neighbourhood is small enough to be tangible, yet big enough to make a difference. In order for neighbourhoods to really work, residents need to be engaged and the tactics should be embedded within a wider social policy, if we want thriving cities. By introducing the concepts of neighbourhood arrangements and ecologies, based on examples in Europe and North America, this book provides a new perspective on the relation between participants, resources, and rules, to spark change and prepare urbanites and policymakers for realizing their own sustainable neighbourhoods for the future.

Abstract

SAMENVATTING: "Terwijl er steeds meer mensen naar de stad trekken, breidt de stedelijke periferie zich uit ten koste van de natuur. Ontwerpen voor duurzaamheid door herontwikkeling legt uit hoe duurzaamheid kan worden gerealiseerd door stedelijke herontwikkeling en upcycling. De grootschalige stedelijke herontwikkelingsprocessen die in dit boek aan de orde komen, zijn gebaseerd op een succesvol stedelijk herontwikkelingsgebied in Nederland, het Paleiskwartier in 's-Hertogenbosch. Dit boek vertelt het bijna drie decennia beslaande verhaal over het beleid, hoe beslissingen werden genomen, ontwerpen tot stand kwamen, projecten zich gefaseerd ontwikkelden en de gemeente op een unieke manier samenwerkte met de private sector. Essays en interviews met betrokkenen - waaronder directeuren, ontwerpers, ontwikkelaars en gemeentefunctionarissen - geven een gedetailleerd overzicht van de totstandkoming van dit project".--uitgever nai010.
