Landscape architecture and design Books
Birkhauser Wachsende Architektur: Einführung in die
Book Synopsis A growing, living house, a building made of a plant seems to be a contradiction in terms. Nevertheless, the Khasi in eastern India already knew how to connect the branches of rubber trees to form footbridges, and in southern Germany dance lime trees formed the centre of villages for centuries. Following on from this, the new discipline of Baubotanik is dedicated to designing with trees. Built projects, prototypes and visionary concepts point the way to a new green architecture. This introduction shows the possibilities of such living constructions and goes into the botanical growth laws that guide the design. The basics of constructing with trees are presented. The book encourages a whole new look at architecture that becomes part of urban nature.

This book, produced by the Working Group for World Heritage in Austria, includes contributions from a variety of disciplines and provides a comprehensive overview of the many activities involved in managing this mountain railway. Specially commissioned photographs by Hertha Hurnaus offer impressive views of the railway line, historic buildings, and the surrounding landscape.

Birkhauser Dieter Kienast - Die Poetik des Gartens: Über
Book Synopsis The central question animating Dieter Kienast’s anthology is: "Where better can we practice attentive interaction with the natural world than in its microcosm, the garden?"From the start of his career as a landscape architect Kienast also wrote prolifically. Once he intensified his collaboration with architects and urban planners in the 1980s, his essays, commentaries, and statements found their true subject: landscape architectural design in the human habitat, beyond the ecological dogma of a supposedly untouched and self-unfolding nature.Anyone looking for answers to the fundamental questions of the designed environment that are both profound and thought-provoking will enjoy this classic of contemporary landscape architecture. A classic that has finally been republished A collection of texts by one of the most important thinkers in contemporary landscape architecture With an up-to-date commentary on Kienast’s ideas and work by Prof. Udo Weilacher

JOVIS Verlag Urban Design Methods
Book SynopsisUrban Design Methods is a manual for reconciling contemporary approaches with increasingly complex demands in the shaping of urban living spaces. Architects and landscape architects, as well as city, regional, and landscape planners, often find that they are unable to do modern projects justice with their specialist skills alone. Cooperative approaches are needed to deal with both the complexity of raising questions and the growing number of affected parties who need to be involved. Urban design—understood as an inter- and transdisciplinary field at the interface of architecture, city and regional planning, landscape architecture, sociology, and the diverse stakeholders involved in any project—requires a compendium of adaptable methods to dissolve the boundaries between theory and praxis and between natural and social systems. For the first time, this book collects a broad spectrum of methods intended to support urban designers in deciphering the contexts in which they work, and help them attain a greater individual professional understanding. It clearly outlines the range of challenges and the constantly evolving areas of activity.Table of ContentsFrontmatter -- Contents -- # A.1 urban design as a changing profession -- # A.2 some notes about interdisciplinarity -- # A.3 external statements -- # A.4 working across geographical boundaries: reflecting on sino-german cooperation in urban design -- # B. how to read this book -- Introduction -- # B.1 understanding spatial practices -- # B.2 diagrammatic sketching -- # B.3 unpacking discourses -- # B.4 experimenting -- # B.5 interviewing experts -- # B.6 mapping spatial systems -- # B.7 urban data mining -- # B.8 analyzing pictures -- # B.9 using questionnaires -- # B.10 applying ANT -- # B.11 understanding typologies and morphologies -- # B.12 viewing the urban through an ethnographic lens -- # B.13 analyzing and visualizing actors -- # B.14 getting lost: unfolding creative thinking -- # B.15 narrating through graphics -- # B.16 adding, dividing, superimposing -- # B.17 creating conceptual models -- # B.18 intervening through system thinking -- # B.19 designing grid principles -- # B.20 producing and reducing complexity -- # B.21 engaging humans and nonhumans in design -- # B.22 building knowledge through charrettes -- # B.23 participation and enactment games -- # B.24 visualizing possible futures -- # B.25 urban coding -- # B.26 curating evolutionary landscapes -- # B.27 co-designing and building -- index of authors -- imprint

JOVIS Verlag Tokyo: An Urban Portrait: Looking at a Megacity
Book SynopsisTokyo's seemingly endless sea of buildings has grown incrementally over the past centuries, leading to an urban condition that is both coherent and contradictory at the same time. The understanding of Tokyo as a continuous and interdependent urban complex is a much-neglected perspective in previous readings of the city. An attachment to the land, strong civic commitment, and a deep appreciation of the immaterial has produced a nested megastructure of smaller communities. These places have all evolved in a related way, briefly and temporarily disrupted by earthquakes and a devastating war. Over time, a set of distinct urban patterns emerged through centralisation processes, the "manshon urbanisation", the relocation of various types of manufacturing, and other developments. What might appear homogeneous in composition and rhythm is in fact a configuration of distinctly different spaces, created by the routines of everyday life that make the district of Shinjuku different from Shimokitazawa or Kitamoto. This book not only provides the first comprehensive reading of the many urbanisation processes shaping Tokyo today, but also seeks an entirely new approach for looking at megacity regions: through their differences, and the way those differences are produced in the course of everyday life.

JOVIS Verlag The Big Asian Book of Landscape Architecture
Book Synopsis This book provides one of the first comprehensive discussions of contemporary landscape architecture practice across the Asian region. Bringing together established designers, writers, and thinkers with those of the new generation, Jillian Walliss and Heike Rahmann explore emerging Asian perspectives on urbanism, modes of engagement, design thinking, and construction in a field that has traditionally been dominated by North American and European influences. The Big Asian Book of Landscape Architecture is divided into three thematic sections—Continuum, Interruption, and Speed—as characteristics that simultaneously influence an Asian practice of landscape architecture. Each section presents an interweaving of theoretical writing, reflection on practice, photo essays, and design projects to explore issues such as the shared cultural, philosophical, and physical understandings of landscape, the impact of modernity, and the effects of speed on Asian design and cities. This dynamic structure allows readers to dip into sections, rather than progress in a linear manner.

JOVIS Verlag Technical Lands: A Critical Primer
Book SynopsisTechnical lands are spaces united by their "exceptional" status—their remote locations, delimited boundaries, secured accessibility, and vigilant management. Designating land as "technical" is thus a political act. Doing so entails dividing, marginalizing, and rendering portions of the Earth inaccessible and invisible. An anti-visuality of technical lands enables forms of hypervisibility and surveillance through the rhetorical veil of technology. Including the political and physical boundaries, technical lands are used in highly aestheticized geographies to resist debate surrounding production and governance. These critical sites and spaces range from disaster exclusion and demilitarized zones to prison yards, industrial extraction sites, airports, and spaceports. The identification and instrumentalization of technical lands have increased in scale and complexity since the rise of neoliberalization. Yet, the precise theoretical contours that define these geographies remain unclear. Technical Lands: A Critical Primer brings together authors from a diverse array of disciplines, geographies, and epistemologies to interrogate and theorize the meaning and increasing significance of technical lands.

Skira Patrizia Pozzi: Contemporary Landscape: New tales
Book SynopsisThe different ways of understanding the landscape and the art of gardens by a well-known landscape architect. In the last two decades a new generation of landscape architects has definitively emerged together with a new and more aware clientele that is beginning to see the design of open spaces as an extraordinary environmental and civic resource. “Designing” the landscape in order to transform and develop the environment surrounding us: this is how the architect and landscape designer Patrizia Pozzi sees her work. Illustrated with hundreds of photographs, drawings and plans, this publication presents her recent projects divided into four sections: Energy landscape (eco-sustainability and bio-compatibility), Inhabiting nature (landscape as a source of inspiration and integration), New trends (new dynamics in approaching public space and daily life) and Nursery (sustainability and integration between architecture and open spaces), and leads the reader through an endless series of beautiful landscapes designed with care and natural understanding. What emerges is the philosophy of a person who wants to “get her hands dirty” with a project, developing it in meticulous detail and lending value to the transformation of contemporary landscape from its most poetic aspect, focussing on sustainability and the use of innovative materials. With all its different scales and variations, the landscape is conceived and constructed as an active resource for the future, an authentic and extremely powerful source of renewal for a reality urgently in need of quality and beauty in every place we inhabit.

University of Washington Press Where Dragon Veins Meet
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Whiteman's book is a valuable contribution to the history of the early Qing period, as well as to art history...When closing the book, one feels that its beautiful design and production, striking on first opening it, contribute to bringing to the fore the original and thought-provoking arguments put forward within it." * Sehepunkte *"Whiteman displays a dazzling command of his subject. His careful presentation of the source materials, their defects, and the methods he chose to transcend obstacles bespeak a commitment to historical accuracy that is both commendable and impressive." * Journal of Chinese Studies *"This book...fills a monumental gap in the art, architectural, and landscape histories of the early modern world, providing a long-overdue interdisciplinary discussion of the Qing emperor whose reign and works overlapped with those of better-studied contemporaries." * Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians *"Scholars from both fields, as well as other interested readers will find it of value, while the rich illustrations and beautiful design promise a delightful reading experience." * East Asian Science Technology and Medicine *"Where Dragon Veins Meet provides an exemplary study of a particular site by connecting methods of art history, humanist geography, landscape and garden studies, and literature... All in all, Whiteman's book maps out new paths to approaching historical landscape, intermedial representations of place, as well as transcultural studies of imperial and pictorial spaces." * Art Bulletin *"Whiteman’s impeccable work goes far beyond simply a comprehensive and thought-provoking study of Kangxi’s Mountain Estate itself. Instead, it reveals not only the global dimension of this ‘frontier landscape’ but a Qing political landsape within an interconnected ‘long’ 18th entury, creating a milestone in writing global art history." * Architectural Histories *"Where Dragon Veins Meet is an important case study in how rigorous scholarship can reshape our understanding of even the most famous sites. Whiteman’s detailed analysis not only uncovers the Kangxi-era landscape at the Mountain Estate, long buried under Qianlong’s contributions, but also demonstrates the essential role Kangxi played in the development of Qing visual and material culture. Handsomely produced in full color, this book will undoubtedly serve as a standard reference for scholars interested in Chinese imperial arts, landscape studies, and early modern history for many years." * Harvard Journal of Asiatic Studies *"Through careful and sophisticated stylistic analysis, Whiteman demonstrates impressively how attention to objects can effectively enhance historical understanding in the absence of written sources. Therefore, Where Dragon Veins Meet is of interest to art historians and historians alike." * Bulletin of the Institute of Modern History, Academia Sinica *"Where Dragon Veins Meet is a thoroughly researched and intellectually illuminating work. Its interdisciplinary approach shows what the landscapes of the Mountain Estate can tell us about early Qing politics and its position in the early modern world. This book will certainly be of interest to historians and art historians of late imperial China. Scholars of garden and palace construction, landscape history, as well as monarchy studies will also find it valuable to compare the Kangxi emperor’s park-palace to other projects in the early modern world." * T'oung Pao *

It features essays that discusses important historical precedents and considers the defining characteristics of new art landscapes.Trade Review"Smart, handsomely illustrated... Raymund Ryan has gathered a visual feast of institutions that illustrate the future of museums." Pittsburgh Post-Gazette "A look at six art venues around the world that break the mold (with the Olympic Sculpture Park included)." Seattle Times "[Explores] the idea of taking the museum out of doors and weaving art into a natural or constructed landscape." Form "These locations not only offer opportunities for curators, architects, and landscape architects to consider relationships between the various areas of focus, they give artists unconventional venues for creating and displaying art." Archidose [Represents] a departure from the traditional museum gallery space, as well as from expectations of how a gallery should be experienced." artdaily.org "Ryan not only proposes a move away from traditional curation, but a move toward a more democratic museum typology, a model in which architecture, art, and nature hold equal clout in an aesthetic experience. The viewer is encouraged to roam and discover in the Green Maze. And for the museums of the future, a new form may lie at the end of these labyrinths." -- Anna Fixsen Architectural Record

This is a journey along a wall that cuts through a third nation- the Divided States of America.Trade Review"Part historical account, part theoretical appraisal, and part design manifesto, Borderwall as Architecture is reminiscent of Rem Koolhaas' Delirious New York in its sweeping assessment of both the sociocultural peculiarities and outlandish possibilities represented by a prominent structural element." -- Blaine Brownell Architect Magazine "...in raising questions that not many others are asking about the relationship between two countries that share 2,000 miles of border, his book serves an important purpose." The Daily Beast "Rael sees endless opportunities for creative defiance as he exposes the wall's xenophobic horror stories, absurdities and ironies by imagining design as both an undermining and reparative measure... [his proposals] force us to re-examine the feasibility of constructing "a big beautiful wall" around fortress America by underscoring that borders are innate zones of connectivity as much as division."
