Experimenting Proximity
What are the best tools for assessing the quality of an urban space or landscape, in terms of social, physiological, aesthetic, and functional well-being? What features – spatial, material, or visual – can make some areas of a city welcoming, and perhaps even inspire a sense of belonging? And how do we define “landscape experience”? These are some of the questions behind Experimenting Proximity, an extensive compendium of the teaching and research experience conducted in EPFL (Construction and Conservation Laboratory) and ETHZ (Institute of Landscape Architecture) about visual representation. Authors present a new approach based upon video and experimental mapping, which deals with the notion of “physicality” and stands as the cornerstone for an improved correlation between built form, landscape and public space. All technical and theoretical aspects are developed in the book, as videos and maps can be examined in detail in the website www.experimentingproximity.net
Cultural Landscapes of India
Most people view cultural heritage sites as static places, frozen in time. In Cultural Landscapes in India, Amita Sinha subverts the idea of heritage as static and examines the ways that landscapes influence culture and that culture influences landscapes. The book centers around imagining, enacting, and reclaiming landscapes as subjects and settings of living cultural heritage. Drawing on case studies from different regions of India, Sinha offers new interpretations of links between land and culture using different ways of seeing—transcendental, romantic, and utilitarian. The idea of cultural landscape can be seen in ancient practices such as circumambulation and immersion in bodies of wat...
Modern Humans
Modern Humans is a vivid account of the most recent—and perhaps the most important—phase of human evolution: the appearance of anatomically modern people (Homo sapiens) in Africa less than half a million years ago and their later spread throughout the world. Leaving no stone unturned, John F. Hoffecker demonstrates that Homo sapiens represents a “major transition” in the evolution of living systems in terms of fundamental changes in the role of non-genetic information. Modern Humans synthesizes recent findings from genetics (including the rapidly growing body of ancient DNA), the human fossil record, and archaeology relating to the African origin and global dispersal of anatomically ...
Planète Garonne
Le livre débute avec une partie restituant la « nature » du fleuve (dans son état d’aujourd’hui) : sols et hydrologie de la Garonne, monde vivant (végétation, poissons, oiseaux migrateurs), et fiction géographique permettant de montrer l’importance de ce fleuve pour la vie humaine du grand sud-ouest de la France. Très vite la question de l’eau est posée, d’autant plus prégnante dans le contexte du changement climatique en cours. Une crise s’annonce... Entre ceux qui pensent qu’il faut toujours plus « aménager » pour garantir durablement la ressource (nouveaux barrages réservoirs...), et ceux qui exhortent à reconsidérer les usages à la baisse (reconversion de l...
Floodscapes
Floodscapes' tells the multifaceted story of humankind?s relationship with flooding, oscillating between fight and symbiosis. Modern water engineering has turned plains and valleys into fully inhabitable environments. At the same time, they have become rigid and highly vulnerable to climate change. In ground-breaking efforts to prevent future floods, countries are rediscovering adaptation strategies: making room for flooding, redistributing risks and reconsidering the use and legal status of floodplains.00Through historical investigations and through the analysis of six contemporary projects implemented in four European countries, 'Floodscapes' illustrates how flood-mitigation measures can be embedded in local space and culture. Merged with landscape development, agriculture, recreation, nature and even urban growth, river management becomes a design issue again, giving landscape architects and urban designers a prominent role in future transitions.

Santa Gilla. Una laguna nel paesaggio metropolitano di Cagliari, un esperimento per un nuovo approccio al paesaggio
Collana PAESAGGI IN TRASFORMAZIONE diretta da Enrico Alfonso Corti Questo libro raccoglie i risultati del workshop internazionale di progettazione Santa Gilla 08 organizzato congiuntamente dalla Facoltà di Architettura di Cagliari, con il coordinamento di Cesarina Siddi, e dall'Istituto di Arhitettura del Paesaggio dell'ETH di Zurigo, sotto la direzione di Christophe Girot. In un momento in cui il Paesaggio sta diventando la prima risorsa attraverso cui rafforzare l'identità regionale come migliore espressione del patrimonio culturale, naturale e produttivo, è importante comprendere come trasformare politiche generali in reali occasioni di sviluppo territoriale. In questo senso alcuni tem...
La métropole géographique et ses urbanismes
Cet ouvrage invite à questionner, à partir de l’exemple grenoblois, le rapport entretenu par les politiques publiques avec les géographies et paysages métropolitains, dans la perspective d’un accroissement de la résilience urbaine. En retraçant l’évolution des stratégies d’urbanisme de la métropole au cours des siècles précédents, il s’agit de mettre en lumière le passage d’une logique de domestication de l’environnement alpin à une planification territoriale plus intégrée et adaptée aux besoins et contraintes des plaines comme des pentes. Les cahiers POPSU rassemblent les connaissances produites au fil des travaux de recherche-action menés par la Plateforme d’observation des projets et stratégies urbaines (POPSU) dans le cadre du programme « Métropoles ».
