Public and private, traffic and open space, planned and spontaneous - our idea of a city is characterised by opposites. However, the contributors to this bilingual book show that these poles can also be consciously connected. The urban building blocks from São Paolo present surprisingly idiosyncratic city scenes: People dancing along the motorway, strolling through the stone archipelago, splashing around in front of the city skylineMany of the case studies are linked to the ideas of the Brazilian urban planner Francisco Prestes Maia. As early as in the 1930s, he developed concepts that combine traffic, open space and architecture - a surprisingly contemporary approach.Öffentliches und Privates, Verkehr und Freiraum, Geplantes und Spontanes - unsere Stadtvorstellung ist geprägt durch Gegensätze. Dagegen zeigen die Beitragenden in dem zweisprachigen Band, dass sich diese Pole auch bewusst verknüpfen lassen. Die Stadtbausteine aus São Paolo präsentieren unerwartet eigenwillige Stadtszenen: Tanzende entlang der Schnellstraße, Flanierende durch das Steinarchipel, Planschende vor der StadtsilhouetteViele der vorgestellten Projekte sind verknüpft mit den Ideen des brasilianischen Stadtplaners Francisco Prestes Maia. Schon in den 1930er Jahren entwickelte er Konzepte, die Verkehr, Freiraum und Architektur zusammendenken - ein überraschend aktueller Ansatz.

"In Landscape and Authority in the Early Modern World, contributors explore the role of landscape in the articulation and expression of imperial identity and the mediation of relationships between the court and its many audiences in the early modern world. Nine focused studies from East andSouth Asia, the Islamic world, and Europe illuminate how early modern courts and societies shaped, and were shaped by, the landscape, including both physical sites, such as gardens, palaces, cities and hunting parks, and conceptual ones, such as those of frontiers, idealized polities, and the cosmos"--

Home Ownership is a Human Right...It's a travesty that our young can no longer afford a home of their ownHow did Australian home ownership become so unattainable? Can we 're-think' the way housing is built so the Australian Dream can again be possible for future generations?As economic conditions and demographics change, health, environmental and economic 'shadows' are spreading with the growth and cost of suburban 'paradise'. Through rethinking the housing, urban design, transport and government policy, we can revolutionise the way we build our future towns and cities - and make the dream of home ownership a possibility again.The New Australian Dream explores the history of Australian home ownership - from its humble beginnings in colonial Australia to its current status. It offers an alternative vision, and a way forward, by re-imagining the Australian Dream, and safeguarding our future and the future of home ownership for generations to come.

Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things.Grave takes a ground-level view of how burial sites have transformed over time and how they continue to change. As a cemetery tour guide, Allison C. Meier has spent more time walking among tombstones than most. Even for her, the grave has largely been invisible, an out of the way and unobtrusive marker of death. However, graves turn out to be not always so subtle, reverent, or permanent. While the indigent and unidentified have frequently been interred in mass graves, a fate brought into the public eye during the COVID-19 pandemic, the practice today is not unlike burials in the potter's fields of the colonial era. Burial is not the only option, of course, and Meier analyzes the rise of cremation, green burial, and new practices like human composting, investigating what is next for the grave and how existing spaces of death can be returned to community life.Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.

A resounding response to the environmental devastation and hardships-of-youth going on all over the world. Communal home designs are the last lines in the sand left to draw!

This book is an interdisciplinary research work designed to be of interest to a broad range of academics. The book examines the relationship between democracy and the (trans)formations of urban spaces through comparative perspective. It engages with the ideas of 'modernity' in architecture and investigates how they might align (or not) with other forms of radical power.This book offers an understanding of the public spaces through political change, power struggle, and autocratic modernity manifested. It addresses the subject of politics in architecture and built environment by examining the various academic literature in urban studies, architectural history, urban anthropology, urban sociology, cultural geographies, planning history, philosophy, and the broader social and political sciences. Followingly, it will be focused on the less well-known traditions of architecture and democratic values drawing upon western and (non)western perspectives to decolonize the notion of public space in the global south. In better words, the book investigates the mechanisms of power struggles and the transformative dynamism of totalization and state-led modernization, which motivates or shapes a creative tension in the form of the city.The topic of the work is novel and aims to examine the relationship between the affordances of public spaces, their micro-histories, and the emergence of critical social events and movements. The breadth of the topic demanded engagement with a rich body of architectural theory and history and relevant texts in urban sociology, colonial and postcolonial studies, political geography, and cultural studies, a challenge to which the book has responded outstandingly. The issue is urgent for policymakers and architects, urban designers, political and cultural geographers, and other practitioners working on the built environment to create more democratic public spaces in the global south.

In this handbook, 60 authors, senior and junior educators, and researchers from six continents provide an overview of 200 years of landscape architectural education. They tell the stories of schools and people, of visions, and of experiments that constitute landscape architecture education heritage.Through taking an international perspective, the handbook centers inclusivity with an appreciation for how education develops in different political and societal contexts. Part I introduces the field of education history research, including research approaches and international research exchange. Spanning more than 100 years, Parts II and III investigate and compare early and recent histories of landscape architecture education in different countries and schools. In Part IV, the book offers new perspectives for landscape architecture education. Education research presents a substantial opportunity for challenging studies to increase the pedagogic and didactic, the academic and historic, and the disciplinary knowledge basis.Through a boundary-crossing approach, these studies about landscape architecture education provide a reference to teachers and students, policymakers, and administrators, who strive for innovative, holistic, and interdisciplinary practice.

This expansive edited collection explores in depth the georgic genre and its connections to the natural world.

Atelier Kempe Thill sind für ihre innovativen und minimalistischen Entwürfe in Architektur und Städtebau bekannt. Mit ausgefeilten Raumsystemen und einer unkonventionellen Verwendung von Materialien versuchen die Architekten, möglichst resiliente und kostengünstige Lösungen zu finden. Für diese Balance zwischen Gebäuden, die für verschiedene Nutzungen offen sind und sich zugleich durch besondere Entwürfe auszeichnen, haben sie schon in ihrem 2004 veröffentlichten Manifest den Begriff der»Spezifischen Neutralität« geprägt.Vor dem Hintergrund der aktuellen Klima- und Wirtschaftskrise und der daraus resultierenden sich schnell verändernden Nachfrage nach Räumen und deren Nutzung ist dieser Ansatz aktueller denn je. Die beiden Architekten stellen in ihrer zweiten Monografie 23 Projekte aus den letzten 12 Jahren vor, die durch thematische Essays der Autoren und von namhaften Expert*innen aus dem Bereich der Architektur abgerundet werden.ATELIER KEMPE THILL wurde 2000 von den deutschen Architekten André Kempe (*1968) und Oliver Thill (*1971) in Rotterdam gegründet, die auch in Forschung und Lehre tätig sind und aktuell eine Professur an der Leibniz Universität Hannover innehaben. Angefangen mit kollektivem Wohnungsbau und kleinen Aufträgen für öffentliche Gebäude hat sich das Portfolio des Büros um große Renovierungs-, Infrastruktur- und Stadtplanungsprojekte erweitert. Das Büro hat heute mehr als 30 Mitarbeitende.

This book presents a detailed exploration into the Centre for Alternative Technology (CAT), an enterprise concerned with finding and communicating sustainable ways of living. A fascinating and revealing read for academics, researchers, students and practitioners interested in all aspects of sustainability and environmental issues.

This volume brings together a collection of original investigations of the current thinking on three broad themes: the assetization of land and buildings, the relationship of land rent to valuation and speculation in the markets for private and public properties, and the different ways in which land functions as a social relation.

This book takes an interdisciplinary approach to our understanding of infrastructure, and it's influence on happiness and wellbeing, by examining the concept from economic, human development, architectural, urban planning, psychological, and ethical points of view.

Aim of this book is, after the definition of the field of investigation concerning sustainable regeneration trough topics such as resilience, adaptation, health and mixed connections, to illustrate the present-day approaches to the analysis and design of healthy places, and in particular the original Healthy Pl@ce Design method.

Technical lands are spaces united by their "exceptional" status-their remote locations, delimited boundaries, secured accessibility, and vigilant management. Designating land as "technical" is thus a political act. Doing so entails dividing, marginalizing, and rendering portions of the Earth inaccessible and invisible. An anti-visuality of technical lands enables forms of hypervisibility and surveillance through the rhetorical veil of technology. Including the political and physical boundaries, technical lands are used in highly aestheticized geographies to resist debate surrounding production and governance. These critical sites and spaces range from disaster exclusion and demilitarized zones to prison yards, industrial extraction sites, airports, and spaceports. The identification and instrumentalization of technical lands have increased in scale and complexity since the rise of neoliberalization. Yet, the precise theoretical contours that define these geographies remain unclear. Technical Lands: A Critical Primer brings together authors from a diverse array of disciplines, geographies, and epistemologies to interrogate and theorize the meaning and increasing significance of technical lands.
