Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Landscape Architecture and Digital Technologies explores how digital technologies are reshaping design and making in landscape architecture. While the potentials of digital technologies are well documented within landscape planning and visualisation, their application within design practice is far less understood. This book highlights the role of the digital model in encouraging a new design logic that moves from the privileging of the visual to a focus on processes of formation, bridging the interface of the conceptual and material, the virtual and the physical. Drawing on interviews and projects from a range of international designers -including , Snøhetta, Arup, Gustafson Porter, ASPECT Studios, Grant Associates, Catherine Mosbach, Philippe Rahm, PARKKIM, LAAC and PEG office of landscape + architecture among others, the authors explore the influence of parametric modelling, scripting, real-time data, simulation, prototyping, fabrication, and Building Information Modelling on the design and construction of contemporary landscapes. This engagement with practice is expanded through critical reflection from academics involved in landscape architecture programs around the world that are reshaping their research and pedagogy to reflect an expanded digital realm. Crossing critical theory, technology and contemporary design, the book constructs a picture of an emerging twenty-first century practice of landscape architecture practice premised on complexity and performance. It also highlights the disciplinary demands and challenges in engaging with a rapidly evolving digital context within practice and education. The book is of immense value to professionals and researchers, and is a key publication for digital landscape courses at all levels.

Download or read book A Philosophy of Landscape Construction written by Bruce K. Ferguson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-30 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Philosophy of Landscape Construction outlines a philosophy of values in landscape construction, demonstrating how integral structures, such as pavements and walls, constitute a key element to how people interact with and inhabit the final design. The book discusses how these structures enable, assist and care for people, negotiating between the dynamic processes of site ecosystems and the soil on which they are founded. They articulate spatial, functional, cultural and ecological meanings. Within this theoretical framework, designers will learn to recognize and insert a set of core values into the most technical design stages to reach their full potential. By offering a new perspective on landscape construction, moving away from the exclusively technical characteristics, this book allows landscape architects to realise the ideal vision for their designs. It is abundantly illustrated with examples from which designers can learn both successes and failures and will be an essential companion to any study of built landscapes.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Innovative Design Solutions In Landscape Architecture Steven L. Cantor This comprehensive visual reference presents the full range of landscape architecture practice, from traditional subjects to contemporary applications. The projects are organized by the type of firm, and each firm is represented by several projects, allowing the reader to compare the design process, style, and content of works by the same designers. This volume is an excellent companion to Mr. Cantor's Contemporary Trends in Landscape Architecture, which examines nine compelling new trends in the field. Fifty projects are documented, each in meticulous detail, including site plan, technical illustrations, and construction documents. Each landscape architect contributes his or her own style and personality to these projects, and offers personal insights, anecdotes, and perspective. The book is beautifully illustrated with drawings, high-quality black and white photographs, and a sixteen-page color insert. Innovative Design Solutions in Landscape Architecture documents the ingenious results of solving challenging problems, and emphasizes diversity in its range of project types and examples. For some projects the process that led to a design solution is the most compelling aspect, while other projects draw their strength from the individuality and grace of unusual detailing. Still others are in the middle ground, where idealized design intersects practical construction techniques. The author, a registered landscape architect, employs an interdisciplinary approach that encourages interaction among many professionals, including landscape architects, architects, graphic artists, artists, scientists, economists, urban planners, writers, engineers, and surveyors. The areas of practice, projects, and firms include: The Private Sector-Large Firms Anshen + Allen, Baltimore, MD Clarke + Rapuano Inc., New York City, NY DHM, Denver, CO Carol R. Johnson & Associates, Inc., Cambridge, MA Jones & Jones, Seattle, WA Royston Hanamoto Alley & Abey, Mill Valley, CA The Private Sector-Small and Intermediate Firms Jack Chandler & Associates, Yountville, CA Hargreaves Associates, San Francisco, CA Jacobs/Ryan & Associates, Chicago, IL Elena Saporta/John Taguiri, Cambridge, MA Schmidt Design Group, San Diego, CA Martha Schwartz, Inc., Cambridge, MA SPURLOCK/POIRIER, San Diego, CA The Public and Academic Sector Abyssinian Development Corporation, Harlem, New York City, NY Boston Urban Gardeners, Boston, MA Central Park Conservancy, New York City, NY Prospect Park Alliance, Brooklyn, NY Iowa State University, Ames, IA New Jersey Institute of Technology, Newark, NJ These diverse examples are followed by a provocative conclusion that examines and discusses principles of project management that encourage and reinforce creative design solutions and problem solving. An inclusive and thoroughly cross-referenced index also assists the process of analyzing project types and making comparisons. The author's meticulous detail, structured organization, and eye-catching illustrations make reading Innovative Design Solutions in Landscape Architecture a pleasurable, enriching, and educational experience. It is an invaluable reference source that provides a wealth of information and insights for years to come.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an overview of the large and interdisciplinary literature on the substance and process of urban climate change planning and design, using the most important articles from the last 15 years to engage readers in understanding problems and finding solutions to this increasingly critical issue. The Reader’s particular focus is how the impacts of climate change can be addressed in urban and suburban environments—what actions can be taken, as well as the need for and the process of climate planning. Both reducing greenhouse gas emissions as well as adapting to future climate are explored. Many of the emerging best practices in this field involve improving the green infrastructure of the city and region—providing better on-site stormwater management, more urban greening to address excess heat, zoning for regional patterns of open space and public transportation corridors, and similar actions. These actions may also improve current public health and livability in cities, bringing benefits now and into the future. This Reader is innovative in bringing climate adaptation and green infrastructure together, encouraging a more hopeful perspective on the great challenge of climate change by exploring both the problems of climate change and local solutions.
