Book Description
"Ce livre s'adresse à un lectorat passionné par l'environnement bâti qui désire en connaître davantage sur l'organisation physique et spatiale de nos villages, de nos villes et de nos agglomérations en lien étroit avec le territoire qui les a vus naître. Il intéressera particulièrement les personnes qui interviennent, exercent une pratique professionnelle ou étudient dans les domaines de l'architecture, de l'architecture de paysage, de l'urbanisme, de la géographie urbaine, du patrimoine, du design urbain et de l'environnement. En plus de présenter les notions clés de la morphologie urbaine ouvrant la voie à une compréhension approfondie du mode de structuration des établissements humains, l'ouvrage explique et met en application, à l'aide de plusieurs études de cas, les méthodes d'analyse de ce champ de recherche afin de lire et de caractériser les milieux bâtis du Québec. Finalement, des exemples montrent comment les connaissances morphologiques peuvent être opérationnalisées en stratégies d'intervention et de design urbain à de multiples échelles. À l'heure où la crise des changements climatiques et sanitaires nous enjoint à repenser en profondeur nos façons d'habiter et de pratiquer le territoire, il est essentiel de mieux comprendre le produit de notre expérience collective en ces matières. Pourquoi ne pas en tirer ainsi des enseignements utiles afin de nourrir le travail de planification, de conception et de gestion de la qualité et de l'intégrité de notre environnement construit?"--

Author: Leslie Rainer
Publisher: Getty Publications
ISBN: 1606060430
Category : Architecture
Languages : fr
Pages : 438
Book Description
Earthen architecture constitutes one of the most diverse forms of cultural heritage and one of the most challenging to preserve. It dates from all periods and is found on all continents but is particularly prevalent in Africa, where it has been a building tradition for centuries. Sites range from ancestral cities in Mali to the palaces of Abomey in Benin, from monuments and mosques in Iran and Buddhist temples on the Silk Road to Spanish missions in California. This volume's sixty-four papers address such themes as earthen architecture in Mali, the conservation of living sites, local knowledge systems and intangible aspects, seismic and other natural forces, the conservation and management of archaeological sites, research advances, and training.

Architecture Competitions and the Production of Culture, Quality and Knowledge
Author: Jean-Pierre Chupin
Publisher: Potential Architecture Books
ISBN: 0992131707
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 406
Book Description
[Winner of the 2016 Bronze medal in Architecture, Independent Publisher Book Awards] This book comprises a series of 22 case studies by renowned experts and new scholars in the field of architecture competition research. In 2015, it constitutes the most comprehensive survey of the dynamics behind the definition, organization, judging, archiving and publishing of architectural, landscape and urban design competitions in the world. These richly documented contributions revolve around a few questions that can be summarized in a two-fold critical interrogation: How can design competitions - these historical democratic devices, both praised and dreaded by designers - be considered laboratories for the production of environmental design quality, and, ultimately, for the renewing of culture and knowledge? Includes 340 illustrations, bibliographical references and index of over 200 cited competitions. Keywords: Architecture / International competitions / Architectural judgment / Design thinking / Digital archiving (databases) / Architectural publications / Architectural experimentation / Landscape architecture / Urban studies

The European Landscape Convention
Author: Michael Jones
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9048199328
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 327
Book Description
This important and insightful book provides, for the first time, a broad presentation of ongoing research into public participation in landscape conservation, management and planning, following the 2000 European Landscape Convention which came into force in 2004. The book examines both the theory of participation and what lessons can be learnt from specific European examples. It explores in what manner and to what extent the provisions for participation in the European Landscape Convention have been followed up and implemented. It also presents and compares different experiences of participation in selected countries from northern, southern, eastern and western Europe, and provides a critical examination of public participation in practice. However, while the book’s focus is necessarily on Europe, many of the conclusions drawn are of global relevance. The book provides a valuable reference for researchers and advanced students in landscape policies and management, as well as for professionals and others interested in land-use planning and environmental management.

Book Description
Fall in love with the addictive, suspenseful love story between a teenage girl and a vampire with the book that sparked a "literary phenomenon" and redefined romance for a generation (New York Times). Isabella Swan's move to Forks, a small, perpetually rainy town in Washington, could have been the most boring move she ever made. But once she meets the mysterious and alluring Edward Cullen, Isabella's life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn. Up until now, Edward has managed to keep his vampire identity a secret in the small community he lives in, but now nobody is safe, especially Isabella, the person Edward holds most dear. The lovers find themselves balanced precariously on the point of a knife -- between desire and danger. Deeply romantic and extraordinarily suspenseful, Twilight captures the struggle between defying our instincts and satisfying our desires. This is a love story with bite. It's here! #1 bestselling author Stephenie Meyer makes a triumphant return to the world of Twilight with the highly anticipated companion, Midnight Sun: the iconic love story of Bella and Edward told from the vampire's point of view.
