Walkscapes deals with strolling as an architecture of landscape. Walking as an autonomous form of art, a primary act in the symbolic transformation of the territory, an aesthetic instrument of knowledge and a physical transformation of the 'negotiated' space, which is converted into an urban intervention. From primitive nomadism to Dada and Surrealism, from the Lettrist to the Situationist International, and from Minimalism to Land Art, this book narrates the perception of landscape through a history of the traversed city.
Herein is provided an overview of 40 projects created by European students of Architecture and Urban Design, completed between 2008 and 2010 and resulting from a set of 4 workshops which worked on the issue of inclusive urban design within different patrimonial urban centres that were characterized by steep and complex topography. This work was the result of an Erasmus Agreement in partnership with 8 European Universities and promoted by the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC-BarcelonaTech), through the Càtedrad'Accessibilitat (CATAC) and the EscolaTècnica Superior d'Arquitectura del Vallès (ETSAV). Marta Bordas Eddy is an architect and PhD candidate by the Universitat Politècnica de Cataluna (UPC-BarcelonaTech) and the Tampere University of Technology (TUT). Her area of expertize is inclusive architectural design, and accessible urban planning. She has been a researcher at UPC-BarcelonaTech (2007-2011), adjunct professor at the University of Barcelona – UB (2012), and a researcher and teaching assistant at TUT currently.
"The messages of our electronic age are becoming increasingly metaphorical and less assertive. This metaphorization process affects every aspect of society today, as can be seen in design and, although more resistant to change, in the sphere of architecture. A building does not acquire value just because it works, is solid, spatially stimulating and liveable, but because it refers to something else. The process of metaphorization concerns most of today's architecture. Its basic objective is a new interiorization of the landscape and the relations between man and nature, an objective which has been accomplished, or nearly. In order to make further progress and gain ground, we must turn to electronics and, above all, its center: interconnections."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Intends to present a condition of contemporary landscape by measuring it through a direct and immediate form: terms, definitions, ideas, microstories, short texts, notes. This title is a collection of instant snaps rather than a complete critical and theoretical look at the subject.
Rem Koolhaas has defined architecture as a chaotic adventure. Nothing could be more true than that of the last two decades. Never has architecture been so unbridled and so extraordinary: the architectural cast has never been so wide and their works so diverse. What though if you are new to the subject? How is it possible to make sense of this seemingly unruly architectural landscape? There are so many different types of architecture, so many designers with such varying and even contradictory approaches. This book is a much needed navigation guide for anyone interested in modern architecture. Organised chronologically, it enables you to find your way through one of the most prolific periods o...
