One of Europe's most acclaimed landscape architects, Paolo Brgi is known for creating minimalist landscape interventions that powerfully reveal the essence of a place. Brgi looks beyond a site's physical boundaries and takes into account its cultural and topographical history. The latest addition to our successful Source Books in Landscape Architecture series, Paolo Brgi Landscape Architect features three of his projects in Switzerland:the Cardada Mountain revitalization in Locarno; the harbor square in Kreuzlingen; and the Terrace on the Forest in Ticino. Paolo Brgi Landscape Architect presents enlightening discussions between landscape historian Raffaella Fabiani Giannetto and Paolo Brgi. A foreword by Sonja Dmpelmann and an essay by renowned landscape architect and philosopher John Dixon Hunt round out this invaluable volume.
Over the past decade, incorporating water features into the architectural landscape has become a prevailing theme. As a result, there are hundreds of noteworthy installations wordwide on a public level that document the drama and beauty that water can bring to a landscape design. Far beyond the simple central fountain, landscape designers are bringing innovative and startling creativity to their landscapes using water as a central feature.This book presents work from some of the best designers in this area worldwide, and presents all the details behind the most interesting and dynamic water features being created. This stunning collection, which includes plans, drawings, and beautiful photographs, will inspire and inform both planners and designers on the possibilities for incorporating water into landscape design.
Die Kulturhauptstadt Europas RUHR.2010, das Ruhrgebiet, ist einer der größten industriell geprägten Ballungsräume Europas. Kulturlandschaft und urbane Agrarwirtschaft sind hier einem hohen Innovationsdruck ausgesetzt. In dem Kulturhauptstadtprojekt „Zwei Berge, eine Kulturlandschaft" wagen Landschaftsarchitekt und Landwirt neue Experimente auf dem Feld von Schönheit und Nützlichkeit. The Ruhr area – European Capital of Culture RUHR.2010 and one of Europe’s major agglomerations with an industrial history – is, just like every ordinary metropolitan area, deeply rooted in a cultural landscape. With the project "Two Hills, One Landscape", advanced landscape architects, farmers and foresters embark on new ventures in the field of beauty and usefulness.
It is usually the large structures that attract attention. We have to look twice to see those small buildings that so often lend a street or square its particular charm. Newspaper kiosks, telephone cells, bus shelters, a floristâs stall â they are all part of everyday city life and infrastructure, and necessary ingredients of any urban composition. They occupy the gaps and embellish empty spaces.In this publication Topos â European Landscape Magazine gathers together many successful examples of these fanciful and eccentric architectural footnotes from Iceland to Croatia, focussing on how location and context determine their design.
L'autrice ci mette davanti ad un cambiamento del comportamento nel rapporto dell'umanità nei confronti delle problematiche della pianificazione. […] Certo gli umani sono capaci di fare un paesaggio a mano, potrebbe addirittura essere una delle più belle maniere di agire sul territorio. (dalla presentazione di Gilles Clément) Fausta Occhipinti con “Paesaggi fatti a mano” ci propone un tema ambizioso, una sistematica revisione dei metodi e degli strumenti dello studio del paesaggio nell’università italiana, partendo dall’intuizione che sia necessario introdurre una sperimentazione applicata in costante confronto con i corsi teorici, e questo nel momento più recessivo della nostr...
Der Band der Reihe zur zeitgenössischen Landschaftsarchitektur behandelt die Steigerung der Lebensqualität durch die planerische Aufwertung des Wohnumfeldes und höhere Qualität des öffentlichen Raumes. Wie grün werden wir wohnen? Welches sind die wesentlichen Kriterien einer gelungenen Freiraumplanung im Wohnungsbau? Wird eine veränderte Beziehung zwischen Stadt und Land dazu beitragen, vielleicht in Form einer urbanen Landwirtschaft? Das Buch begleitet den Deutschen Landschaftsarchitektur-Preis 2011, den Sonderpreis Wohnumfeld und den international größten Ideenwettbewerb für Studierende und Berufsanfänger zum Thema Landschaftsarchitektur und Freiraumplanung, den Peter-Joseph-Lenné-Preis. In einer erneuerten Gestaltung und überarbeitetem Aufbau zeigen die Beiträge und Projektdarstellungen des Buches, mit welchen Strategien die Profession den neuen Herausforderungen begegnet.
There is a deliberate ambiguity in the title. The New European landscape applies both to the new designed landscapes, which are the main theme of the book, and to the landscape context with which I am principally concerned in the introductory chapters.
Una raccolta di saggi come questa vuole essere soprattutto la testimonianza di un percorso disciplinare, un cammino simile peraltro a quello compiuto in altre università italiane e tuttavia unico nella sua evoluzione e particolare come ogni esperienza lo è. Dieci anni di lavoro scientifico e didattico sul paesaggio meritavano una riflessione e noi l'abbiamo fatta nell'unico modo che conosciamo: scrivendo. Non c'è, dunque, né potrebbe esserci nessuna volontà celebrativa, è solo un modo, fra i tanti, di compiere una sorta di autoanalisi, di comprendere più approfonditamente noi stessi e di far meglio conoscere agli altri la nostra vicenda, quello che abbiamo prodotto, come l'abbiamo fatto e quali risultati sono stati conseguiti, al fine di poterlo confrontare e mettere a disposizione di quanti si occupano della stessa area disciplinare o di problematiche ad essa vicine.
