THE IDEAL CITY：EXPLORING URBAN FUTURES

都市は常に変化する人間の実験場である。 しかし、この50年間で、都市はかつてないほど変化し、その勢いは衰えることを知りません。 このような状況の中、より多くの建築家、イノベーター、政策立案者が、空間と資源を最大限に活用するために都市を再考しています。 本書は、都市の未来をデザインするためのドキュメントです。 本書では、食品廃棄物を減らすためのアプリから、独創的な淡水インフラまで、未来の都市をより幸せで健康的な、そしてより包括的な場所にするという共通の目標を持つ、さまざまな取り組みや実験を紹介しています。 The city is an always changing human experiment. But in the last half century, it has changed more than ever before with little sign of slowing down. As this phenomenon takes place, an increasing number of architects, innovators and policy-makers are rethinking the city to make the most of space and resources. This book chronicles the design of urban futures. From apps designed to curb food waste to inventive fresh water infrastructure, The Ideal City explores the many initiatives and experiments, all with the shared goal of making the cities of tomorrow a happier, healthier and more inclusive place to be.

The Landscapists: Redefining Landscape Relations

Who defines the landscapes around us? What practices are employed as contemporary landscapes are produced? This issue argues that landscapes are made and remade through interrelations between people and the worlds around them – from geographers investigating the lives of urban wastelands to landscape architects projecting future cities, and from migrants navigating border systems to artists working with local residents. In contrast to tendencies to emphasise the physical forms of landscapes, with their potential to be redesigned and represented in drawings, this issue brings to the forefront the social constructedness of landscapes by focusing on a range of critical practices and daily actions. As conventional frames of landscape are challenged, other ways of measuring, mapping, imagining, designing, building and occupying them are revealed. For centuries, artists and designers have represented landscapes of power in paintings and have transformed them through their design proposals. But in recent years a number of researchers, designers, artists and activists have explored an expanded field of landscape, investigating populations fleeing conflict zones, reimagining cities facing ecological challenges, questioning territorial claims, and critiquing processes of urbanisation. This issue focuses on some of these individuals whose work and lives encompass a diverse range of practices, brought together through their critical redefinition of landscape relations.

Doing Almost Nothing: The Landscapes of Georges Descombes

Until now, writings about the architect/landscape architect Georges Descombes have been relatively limited, appearing primarily in publications in Switzerland and abroad as conversations, interviews, and conference proceedings; most of them have appeared only in French. However, during his forty years of practice, Descombes has developed and applied a method unique to landscape architecture, one in which an extremely broad vision, both scientifically and culturally, shapes his thinking and projects. Descombes enters each project by attempting to understand the existing conditions on site and how, using minimal means and interventions, those conditions can be modified to meet the requirements of the program and those appropriate to the natural or urban environment. To some critics it would appear that Descombes has always done too little on and to the site, and in some instances have condemned him for “doing almost nothing.” Although simplicity usually demands greater concentration and study, it often yields greater rewards that result from just that restraint. Perhaps how we approach the world is more important that how we shape the world. Descombes’s landscapes are instructive in this regard. In our current era, the concern for the planet as a whole, its dwindling resources, the despoiling of its air, water, and land, and an exploding population have skewed the profession’s focus toward sustainability, ecology, resilience, and other related concerns. In the process, the social role played by landscape architecture has been lessened, if not forgotten, and the role of form, space, composition, and materials—that is to say the aesthetic dimension of landscape design—has become a distant concern. Descombes’s practice strikes that vital balance between effective environmental performance and the ethical creation of beauty. Instead of favoring one pursuit over the other, or relying on a delimiting specialization, he works in a way that may be justifiably regarded as both/and rather than either/or – a comprehensive vision that weds nature and culture, landscape and architecture, people and milieu.

Landscape Architecture Europe 5 ヨーロッパ中からの200作品の審査から選ばれた48の現代プロジェクトを紹介

ヨーロッパ中からの200作品の審査から選ばれた48の現代プロジェクトを紹介 This fifth edition of the book series Landscape Architecture Europe shows and reflects on 48 contemporary projects, selected by a practitioners’ jury out of over 200 entries from all over Europe. The selected projects are groundbreaking: some for their innovative ways of tackling sustainability, others for their political stance concerning concepts such as nature and democracy.   This richly illustrated book offers thought-provoking texts in support of three landscape architectural approaches to the challenges of the 21st century: to care for people, places and what is already there, to create urban landscapes of new kinds, and to act and move the course of things.   This publication was made possible with financial support of BSLA FSAP (Bund Schweizer Landschaftsarchitekten und Landschaftsarhitektinnen), IFLA Europe (International Federation of Landscape Architects), the NH Bos Foundation and Creative Industries Fund NL.

Ijsselmeer a Spatial Perspective アイセル湖 空間的展望

The IJsselmeer is the Netherlands' inland sea: a vast expanse of water with many facets and a turbulent history, largely concealed by tall dykes. Until the Enclosure Dam was built, it was an open inlet of the sea, with tidal movements, salt water and fresh water, and occasional catastrophic floods. In the twentieth century the IJsselmeer was the scene of a heroic land reclamation project: the creation of the IJsselmeer polders, initially for agriculture but later also for urban development, nature development, and recreation. This book looks at the area from various angles: geomorphology, history, planning, and the economy.

Landscape Architecture And Urban Design In The Netherlands 2017

オランダの景観建築と都市デザイン2017現状を反映した17の模範的なデザインプロジェクトを紹介しています。 This yearbook showcases 17 exemplary design projects that reflect the current state of Dutch urban design and landscape architecture. An independent selection committee sought projects that highlight designers’ new skills and approaches, and projects in which architecture has played a key role in addressing contemporary problems. But above all projects were sought that shine out for their simplicity and design. Lavishly illustrated, and supplemented with expert analyses and interviews, this book offers ample proof of designers’ value for society.
