Book Description
The work of the landscape architects Lukas Schweingruber and Rainer Zulauf is based on abstraction. This abstract approach reveals and deciphers the essential nature of landscape and urban environment. With the Oerliker Park in Zurich or the Museum Park in Kalkriese in Germany, valid representations of contemporary design in outdoor spaces have been created.

River.Space.Design
Author: Martin Prominski
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter
ISBN: 3034611730
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
Urban riverbanks are attractive locations and highly prized recreational environments. The designs of urban river landscapes must fulfill a broad range of requirements: flood control, open space design, and ecology are as a rule the three dominant themes, and they must often be reconciled within a very restricted space. The river must be understood as a process: governed by changing water levels, shifting seasons, erosion, and sedimentation, the river environment is not a static entity but constantly changing—the design must be flexible and take this into account. This book is the product of a multi-year study that subjected more than fifty Western European projects to a comparative analysis. The result is a systematic catalog of effective strategies and innovative design elements. First, designers and planners are given an overview of the broad and varied spectrum of design possibilities. The book’s process-oriented approach is especially helpful where the focus is on long-term, sustainable measures. The publication consists of two linked volumes that enable the reader to consult the systematic catalog and the case study section side by side. The easy-to-navigate structure and an extensive glossary provide further guidance, while the work’s highly distinctive design makes it visually appealing as well and invites the reader to leaf through and explore it.

Basics Designing with Water
Author: Axel Lohrer
Publisher: Birkhäuser
ISBN: 3035612870
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 80
Book Description
Water is a special design element in open space planning and one that lends a decidedly distinguished touch. But it is not enough merely to insert water basins and fountains at the appropriate spots in architectural drawings. As early as the design stage the planner must begin to think about where the water is going to come from, where it is going to drain, and how it is going to be cleaned.

Designing Cities
Author: Leonhard Schenk
Publisher: Birkhäuser
ISBN: 3035626146
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 356
Book Description
Manual for Urban Design Urban design is based on planning and design principles that need to meet functional demands on the one hand, but on the other hand bring the design elements together into a distinctive whole. The basic compositional principles are, for the most part, timeless. Designing Cities examines the most important design and presentation principles of urban design, using historical examples and contemporary international competition entries designed by practices including Foster + Partners, KCAP Architects & Planners, MVRDV, and OMA. At the core of the publication is the question of how the projects were designed and what methods and tools were available to the designer: such as parametric design, in which variable parameters automatically influence the design and provide a range of possible solutions. Tools for urban design Current projects and award-winning competition entries by renowned international practices A textbook for students and a practical design aid for practicing architects and planners

Landscape Theory in Design
Author: Susan Herrington
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1315470764
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 339
Book Description
Phenomenology, Materiality, Cybernetics, Palimpsest, Cyborgs, Landscape Urbanism, Typology, Semiotics, Deconstruction - the minefield of theoretical ideas that students must navigate today can be utterly confusing, and how do these theories translate to the design studio? Landscape Theory in Design introduces theoretical ideas to students without the use of jargon or an assumption of extensive knowledge in other fields, and in doing so, links these ideas to the processes of design. In five thematic chapters Susan Herrington explains: the theoretic groundings of the theory of philosophy, why it matters to design, an example of the theory in a work of landscape architecture from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, debates surrounding the theory (particularly as they elaborate modern and postmodern thought) and primary readings that can be read as companions to her text. An extensive glossary of theoretical terms also adds a vital contribution to students’ comprehension of theories relevant to the design of landscapes and gardens. Covering the design of over 40 landscape architects, architects, and designers in 111 distinct projects from 20 different countries, Landscape Theory in Design is essential reading for any student of the landscape.

Book Description
Wohnen ist individuell: Jeder hat andere Vorstellungen und Wünsche vom Wohnen und durch die Art zu Wohnen äußert sich sein Lebensstil. Wohnen heißt „zuhause“ sein, wo man sich im Idealfall wohlfühlt. Zum Thema Wohnen existieren zahlreiche Studien über Standards, Entwicklungen und Trends, die die Bedürfnisse von Menschen analysieren und vergleichen. Mit den Bedürfnissen aber wandeln sich im Laufe der Jahre auch die Standards und Trends. Und auch der globale und demografische Wandel unserer Gesellschaft ändert die Wohnformen, Flexibilität wird zu einem maßgeblichen Kriterium. Zum Thema Wohnen gehört aber auch die Einbindung in die Umgebung. Insbesondere in Städten leben viele Menschen auf engem Raum, es gibt wenig individuelle Freiflächen und viele gemeinschaftlich genutzte Zonen. Daher ist es umso wichtiger, dass Planer Ideen entwickeln, die dem Bedürfnis der Menschen nach einem ausgewogenen Maß von individuellem und gemeinschaftlichem Raum, auch hinsichtlich der Freiflächen, entsprechen. Die Publikation bündelt die Highlights aus DETAIL zum Thema Wohnen. Ein umfangreiches Werkverzeichnis gelungener Projektbeispiele rundet den Einblick in die verschiedenen Wohnformen ab und bietet neben dem theoretischen Unterbau vor allem Inspiration und nicht zuletzt jede Menge an konstruktiven Lösungen.

Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
The past decade has witnessed new interpretations of the great themes of traditional European garden art in profusion. Drawing on his intensive studies of some 30 influential European projects, Udo Weilacher presents a panorama of the most significant developments since the publication of his groundbreaking work Between Landscape Architecture and Land Art in 1996. Examples of the cooperation between landscape designers and architects are given special attention in case studies taken from the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, France, Spain, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland. In addition, US landscape designer Kathryn Gustafson, artists such as Dani Karavan, and the architectural theorist Charles Jencks are featured, along with their European works.
