Book Description:
What if environmentally damaged landscapes could not only be
remediated from an ecological standpoint, but also designed
to replenish an entire community as well as the nature
surrounding it? The Handbook of Regenerative Landscape Design
incorporates ecology, engineering, sociology, and design
elements into a new paradigm for environmental restoration
and the renewal of urban and cultural sites.
This is the first resource in the field to examine the
collaborative roles of scientists, landscape architects, and
urban planners in transforming degraded landscapes into
sustainable communities for both people and wildlife. Top
practitioners and theorists from different fields and
perspectives contribute innovative case studies that converge
in their emphasis on new uses for reclaimed land, rather than
a return to its original state.
In addition, this book is one in only a handful to address the
system conditions necessary for the repair of severely degraded
landscapes, especially in an urban context. It elucidates the
most suitable remediation strategies for treating degraded
environments such as industrial landfills, mining sites, buried
urban rivers, heavily polluted or effectively destroyed wetlands,
Superfund sites, and abandoned factories.
Bringing the perspectives of landscape architects, scientists,
and urban planners to a wider audience, the Handbook of
Regenerative Landscape Design demonstrates how ecological
landscape restoration processes can facilitate sociological
and urban renewal initiatives

Landscape and Sustainability
By Maggie Roe
Publisher: Routledge
Number Of Pages: 320
Publication Date: 2007-09-19
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0415404436
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780415404433
Book Description:
This unique book addresses the issue of sustainability from
the point of view of landscape architecture, dealing with
professional practices of planners, designers and landscape
managers.
This second edition contains updated and new material
reflecting the developments in the field during the last five
years, addressing the relationship between landscape architecture
and sustainability in a comprehensive way.
Much in the text is underpinned by landscape ecology, in contrast
to the idea of landscape as only appealing to the eye or aspiring
cerebrally to be fine art. As this exceptional cast of contributors
argue, landscape is and must be much more than this; landscape
architecture is about making places which are biologically wholesome,
socially just and spiritually rewarding.
Landscape and Sustainability establishes that the sustainability
agenda needs a new mindset among professionals. The question to be
answered first and foremost is, is it sustainable? The chapters in
the book move progressively from theory to practice, from the global
to the local scale and from issues of policy and planning through to
detailed design and implementation and on to long-term maintenance
and management. The contributors raise and re-examine a complex array
of research, policy and professional issues and agendas to contribute
to the necessary ongoing debate about the future of both landscape and
sustainability

Representing Landscape Architecture
By Treib
Publisher: Routledge
Number Of Pages: 240
Publication Date: 2008-01-31
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0415700426
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780415700429
Binding: Hardcover
Book Description:
"Representing Landscape Architecture" offers a broad investigation
of how the designed landscape is and has been represented: for
design study, for criticism and even for its realization. It has
been said that we can only realize what we can imagine. But in order
to realize we must convey ideas to others as well as to ourselves.
Representation is by no means neutral and the process of
communication, the process by which the imagination takes its first
form, itself necessarily limits the range of our design possibilities.
Computers further remove from cognitive processes and raise new
questions about methods and limits. Written by a team of renowned
practitioners and academics, this book is the best available
reference to date on the many dimensions of landscape representation

Row Houses - A Housing Typology
By Günter Pfeifer, Per Brauneck
Publisher: Birkhäuser Basel
Number Of Pages: 112
Publication Date: 2007-12-11
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 3764378387
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9783764378387
Binding: Paperback
Book Description:
To continue developing existing building types in an
intelligent way is a crucial task in the field of residential
building. A deeper understanding of the underlying types is
indispensable for the success of the individual design, as well
as for ensuring that tried and tested structures can be utilized,
repeated, and varied in a wide variety of situations.
For this typology of residential buildings, the authors have
developed systematic new presentations of the most innovative
types. Each individual volume lays out the possibilities for
using and transforming a particular form of residential structure.
The first volume deals with the various types of the courtyard
house, which utilizes the courtyard as an intimate outdoor living
space. A presentation of the courtyard as a building block of the
city is followed by coverage of the complete spectrum of types -
cluster, network, carpet, terraces, etc.
The second volume is devoted to the various types of row house, a
particularly widespread form of residential structure. A general
discussion of the row as organizing principle - the row as urban
building block, linear space, ways of handling corners - is followed
by the systematic presentation of the different types.
Within each type, variants are distinguished according to how they
organize

ISBN-10 / ASIN: 3764384530
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9783764384531
Binding: Hardcover
Book Description:
Si l’on attend de l’architecture qu’elle soit en relation
sensuelle avec la vie, il faut que la réflexion aille bien
au-delà de la forme et de la construction. Cet ouvrage,
dont la première édition est épuisée depuis des années, a
été enrichi de trois nouveaux essais: "La beauté a-t-elle
une forme ?", "La magie du réel" et "La lumière dans le
paysage". Dans ses textes, Peter Zumthor dévoile les ressorts
de cette architecture qui s’adresse, sur des modes très
diversifiés, aux sentiments et à la raison, et qui a une
présence et une aura indiscutables. La typographie, oeuvre de
Hannele Grönlund, est nouvelle ainsi que les photographies en
couleur de la maisonatelier de Peter Zumthor à Haldenstein
réalisées spécialement pour cet ouvrage par Laura Padgett.

Modern Bamboo Structures - Proceedings of the First International Conference
By Yan Xiao
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
Number Of Pages: 312
Publication Date: 2008-08-12
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 041547597X
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780415475976
Book Description:
Bamboo materials are well available in the world. Bamboo has
much shorter maturity than trees, thus can be harvested with
shorter cycles of plantation. Despite the fact that human
society has a long history of using bamboo, there is still a
lack of modern and industrialized application of bamboo
materials in construction. Promoting the application of bamboo
in construction could provide a potential solution to the
sustainable, green and environment-friendly development of
construction industry."Modern Bamboo Structures" is the first
of its kind covering the applications of bamboo materials in
modern structures. The following topics are covered in this
book: properties of bamboo materials and components; design,
experimental testing, and analysis of bamboo structures and
components; modern bamboo buildings and bridges; composites of
bamboo, timber and other materials; bamboo reinforced concrete;
comparative studies of timber and bamboo structures; adhesives,
joints, and engineered bamboo products; environmental,
sustainability and ecological issues; and, structural and
constructional applications of other natural and non-conventional
materials.These proceedings of the First International Conference
on Modern Bamboo Structures (ICBS-2007, Changsha, China, 28-30
October 2007) include the state-of-the-art on materials, design,
analysis, testing, manufacturing, and construction of modern
bamboo structures. "Modern Bamboo Structures" will be essential
for researchers, engineers and administrators involved in
structural engineering, civil engineering, agriculture engineering,
forestry, environmental engineering and urban development.
