System of Open Spaces
In the current panorama of urban growth and planning in many urban territories of western societies, open spaces are residual spaces of urban occupation or are reserved for eventual occupation. Open spaces have been viewed in this manner in the earlier stages of the compact city and especially now, in a time of the dispersed territories characterized by discontinuity, heterogeneity, and fragmentation. The disciplinary perspectives of ecology, geology, landscape architecture, and urbanism, but also public opinion, have for some time promoted the conservation and protection of the most valuable natural spaces, and efforts have been made to remove such spaces from the real estate market. However, such positions, usually radical, are insufficient for territorial equilibrium and inevitably lead to the progressive disappearance of valuable natural spaces.
Women, Modernity, and Landscape Architecture
Modernity was critically important to the formation and evolution of landscape architecture, yet its histories in the discipline are still being written. This book looks closely at the work and influences of some of the least studied figures of the era: established and less well-known female landscape architects who pursued modernist ideals in their designs. The women discussed in this volume belong to the pioneering first two generations of professional landscape architects and were outstanding in the field. They not only developed notable practices but some also became leaders in landscape architectural education as the first professors in the discipline, or prolific lecturers and authors....
The Sustainable City VII
Containing research on sustainable urban redevelopment presented at the latest in a biennial series organised by the Wessex Institute of Technology, this book addresses an area of growing interest. The conference series was first held in 2000. These proceedings are split into two volumes. Urban areas produce a series of environmental challenges arising from the consumption of natural resources and the consequent generation of waste and pollution, contributing to the development of social and economic imbalances. All these problems, which continue to grow in our society, require the development of new solutions. Topics include: Volume I – Urban Strategies; Eco-town Planning; Planning, devel...
Defensas colectivas del territorio en América Latina: persistencias y mutaciones
Esta publicación agrupa 17 capítulos derivados de trabajos de investigación. La primera parte se enfoca en América Latina e incluye ocho estudios localizados en Argentina, Chile y México. En estos se destaca la necesidad de pensar lo territorial como una categoría en disputa en escenarios sociopolíticos donde el modelo hegemónico de mercado ha impulsado dispositivos de control, prácticas privatizadoras o extractivistas. Por lo tanto, para buena parte de las comunidades y movimientos sociales la defensa territorial es una apuesta que articula tanto los esfuerzos para la denuncia y la resistencia, como para la realización de acciones que dignifican y transforman las condiciones de vi...
Espacios libres
El libro consiste en la elaboración de un método de reconocimiento, análisis, evaluación y propuesta de ordenación sobre los espacios libres en sistema como conductores del proyecto territorial y fue desarrollado como Tesis de Doctorado en la Universidad Politécnica de Cataluña (Barcelona – 2005). En general, en la mayoría de nuestras ciudades, el espacio libre tendió a ser tratado como lugar de tierra expectante de una nueva ocupación urbana, reserva ambiental o, simplemente, tierra de nadie. Inversamente, lo que se propone en este libro es revertir esta perspectiva y pensar positivamente sobre los espacios libres, o sea, en los valores existentes en estos espacios y en cómo su...
Roberto Burle Marx
Roberto Burle Marx (Sao Paulo, 1909-Rio de Janeiro, 1994) is known as a landscape architect, but also as a painter, botanist, gardener, chef and jewellery designer. He considered the garden to be one of the fine arts, as the adaptation of the biome to civilisation's natural requirements." This book introduces the realm of the full sensory experience. Burle Marx's work with plants becomes highly pictorial-everything is drawn, coloured and constructed. In this symbiosis between aesthetics and botany, Burle Marx is the master of both species and spaces. His work is the embodiment of the "nature-city," a concept developed from the garden cities of the late 19th century, which has become compromi...

CIDADE E METRÓPOLE - Coleção Arquitetura e Cidade Vol. 1
Oprojeto “Cidade e Metrópole” foi desenvolvido com base nas linhas de pesquisa do Programa de Pós-Graduação Stricto Sensu em Arquitetura e Cidade da Universidade Vila Velha que visam a reflexão do processo de projeto na formação multidisciplinar do arquiteto e urbanista e de profissionais de áreas afins, enfatizando uma abordagem ampla e simbiótica entre a Arquitetura e a Cidade. Os estudos propostos pelo programa fomentam a reflexão crítica sobre a formação e a produção do ambiente construído através: dos fenômenos relacionados ao processo e a prática projetual da arquitetura e do urbanismo; o planejamento, a gestão e a avaliação do desempenho do edifício e do território, em suas diversas vertentes (espacial, social ambiental, cultural, político, econômico e comportamental).
