Martha Schwartz Partners
Traditional, great urban landscapes have helped to fullfil the needs for environmental and human health, for social and collectivized urban spaces that generates a positive quality of life in the cities. The work of MSP, the famous Martha Schwartz and their partners, demonstrates a deep commitment to tis need. As people also spend most of their time outside the buildings on streets, sidewalks, utility corridors and parking lots it is also the request of MSP to bring delight, beauty, nature and playfulness to these places by their landcape design and in this way to the whole city. The book represents numerous of their projects showing the high quality of their design in texts and illustrations.

Once in a Lifetime
New Zealand has to rebuild the majority of its second-largest city after a devastating series of earthquakes – a unique challenge for a developed country in the twenty-first century. The 2010-2011 earthquakes fundamentally disrupted the conventions by which the people of Christchurch lived. The exhausting and exhilarating mix of distress, uncertainty, creativity, opportunities, divergent opinions and competing priorities generates an inevitable question: how do we know if the right decisions are being made? Once in Lifetime: City-building after Disaster in Christchurch offers the first substantial critique of the Government’s recovery plan, presents alternative approaches to city-building andarchives a vital and extraordinary time. It features photo and written essays from journalists, economists, designers, academics, politicians, artists, publicans and more. Once in a Lifetime presents a range of national and international perspectives on city-building and post-disaster urban recovery.
