Book excerpt: Forschungen zur Geschichte der Gartenkultur, zu moderner Landschaftsarchitektur und zu Gärten und Landschaften in der Literatur sind einer der Forschungsschwerpunkte des Zentrums für Gartenkunst und Landschaftsarchitektur (CGL) der Leibniz Universität Hannover. Der Band 19 der CGL-Studies bietet wichtige neue Erkenntnisse zum Zusammenhang von Literatur- und Sprachwissenschaften einerseits und den "Garten"-Wissenschaften andererseits.Fachleute aus den verschiedenen Disziplinen haben sich anlässlich des 70. Geburtstags von Hubertus Fischer mit einer faszinierenden Vielfalt neuer Fragen den Gärten und Landschaften in und außerhalb der Literatur genähert. Die Beiträge des Bandes entwickeln u. a. "Transdisziplinäre Blicke auf akademische Landschaften", stellen "Reflexionen über Landschaften und Gärten in Mittelalter und früher Neuzeit" an oder wandeln "Auf den Spuren Theodor Fontanes". Es geht dabei immer wieder um Beziehungen zwischen realen und "Stimmungslandschaften", um Imaginationen von Natur und Landschaft und "Landschaften der Leidenschaft" bis hin zu den Gebirgslandschaften der Schweiz und der Klosterlandschaft Chorin. Ein Kapitel mit "Kulturgeschichtlichen Perspektiven und Fallstudien" rundet den Band ab und fragt z. B. nach "religiösen" Landschaften oder nach urbanen Utopien in literarischen Texten der Gegenwart.Mit Beiträgen von:Roland Berbig, Regina Dieterle, Konrad Ehlich, Jan Gehlsen, Harald Haferland, Karsten Jørgensen, Detlef Karg, Dieter Kartschoke, Wolfgang Keim, Hansjörg Küster, Günther Mensching, Gerd Michelsen, Maria E.

Book excerpt: Wie kann man Zukunft aus Landschaft gestalten und welchen Beitrag kann dazu die Landschaftsarchitektur leisten? Auf diese Fragen versucht der Band eine Antwort zu geben. Bald vierzig Expertinnen und Experten entwickeln ihre Gedanken zu Stichworten wie "Fragment" und "Freiraum", "Heimat" und "Horizont", "Wald" und "Wasser". Die Idee zu dem Buch entstand in einem Gespräch mit Bernard Lassus. Sie hat Professionen der Landschaft zusammengeführt und neue Ideen produziert. Von der "Imagination" als Provokation der Landschaftsarchitektur hat man bisher wenig, von der "Fraktalen Geometrie" als Neuansatz in der Gartenkunst noch gar nichts gehört. Der Band regt zur Fortschreibung an.Mit Beiträgen von: Gerd Aufmkolk, Werner Durth, Hans Jörg Duvigneau, Johannes Dziadek, Inken Formann, Anette Freytag, Christophe Girot, Gert Gröning, Stephanie Hennecke, Almut Jirku, Karsten Jørgensen, Peter Kees, Albert Kirchengast, Kaspar Klaffke, Thomas Kluge, Reinhard Komar, Stephanie Krebs, Hansjörg Küster, Bernard Lassus, Elisabeth Merk, Sarah Michaelis, Günter Nagel, Bettina Oppermann, Cord Panning, Martin Prominski, Florian Rüger, Sören Schöbel-Rutschmann, Hille von Seggern, Christiane Sörensen, Johannes Stoffler, Sigrid Thielking, Donata Valentien, Udo Weilacher, James L.

Book excerpt: Grading is one the most important aspects involved in landscape architecture, and, together with planting and vegetation, the most important tool in designing landscape. Landscape architects must be able to design using contour lines, as well as rapidly develop alternatives and consider options regarding design, ecology, economy, and technology. Knowledge of grading is an indispensable prerequisite. The book explains the basic aspects of grading such as land forms, scales, interpolation, elevation points, contour lines, earth mass calculation, and also introduces the topics of slope protection systems, rainwater management, or onsite grading. In the second edition, these basics have been updated to comprise new technologies including landscapingSMART, digital terrain modeling (DTM) and 3D machine control, as well as grading for roads and parking lots, and other terrain modeling construction machines. Numerous practical examples complement the theoretical foundations, and there is a section for exercises aimed at applying what has been learned.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While few historians would dispute the importance of the printed book in the development of domestic design in 18th- and 19th-century Britain, this is the first major study to trace the evolution of architectural ideas during the period by examining the literary output of architects. It is a work of extraordinary scholarship, based on an extensive search of dozens of major library collections, that will serve as a standard resource for researchers and librarians, book dealers and collectors. Most of the book is devoted to descriptions of hundreds of books and periodicals containing original designs for domestic structures. The earliest title described is Colen Campbell's Vitruvius Britannicus (1715), an important Palladian manifesto and the first book to illustrate a series of the author's own executed designs for dwellings, intended to redirect and reform British architectural taste, and the latest title is Supplement (1842) to John Claudius Loudon's Encyclopedia. Related materials on agriculture, landscape design, drawing, and perspective also are covered. Each entry includes a bibliographic description of all known editions and a commentary that describes and analyzes the text and plates, focusing in particular on the author's ideas and approaches to design issues. Appendixes to the principal entries provide a checklist of additional handbooks and manuals by important authors such as Crunden, Halfpenny, Langley, Nicholson, Pain, Richardson, Salmon, and Swan, and books showing domestic interiors. There is also a valuable short-title chronological list, and a list of printers, publishers, and booksellers. In a lengthy introductory essay, Archer discusses architecture and the book trade, the format and content of the books, and aspects of architectural theory and design-including ideas of "character" and "retirement," dwelling types such as villas, cottages, and row houses, model housing for laborers, and town and village planning. John Archer is Associate Professor in the Humanities Program at the University of Minnesota.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trees are ideal sources of shade; where they cannot be used, their function is taken over by tents, pergolas, and pavilions. In the context of global warming, shade-providing construction is becoming an increasingly important building task. In Part One of this book, specialists in the field present the typical forms of shade-providing construction as well as the design approach associated with each. Part Two presents easily consultable overviews of 140 plants that have proven to be effective givers of shade in temperate, subtropical, and tropical zones. Part Three presents thirty built projects by celebrated architects and landscape architects from five continents. These constructions illustrate a wide variety of functions and scales and cover various climatic zones and cultural contexts. All structures are constructionally and systematically analyzed with texts, true-to-scale drawings, and photographs from their foundations to their connections and the shadows they cast.

This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646–1716), Philosoph, Mathematiker, Historiker und Diplomat, verbrachte die letzten vierzig Jahre seines Lebens in Hannover. Wegen dieser herausragenden Bedeutung für die Stadt wurde an der Leibniz Universität Hannover von 2010 bis 2017 eine Leibniz-Stiftungsprofessur eingerichtet, deren Aufgabe es war, Werk und Wirken von Leibniz zu erforschen und einer breiteren Öffentlichkeit zu vermitteln. In Kooperation der Leibnizstiftungsprofessur mit dem Zentrum für Gartenkunst und Landschaftsarchitektur (CGL) der Leibniz Universität Hannover und den Freunden der Herrenhäuser Gärten e.V. fand am 3. November 2016 eine Matinee "Leibniz – Garten – Landschaft" statt. Dies war international vermutlich die erste Veranstaltung, die explizit dem Themenfeld Gärten, Garten- und Landschaftskultur im Zusammenhang mit Leibniz' Leben und Werk gewidmet war. Die Matinee führte Wissenschaftler und Wissenschaftlerinnen unterschiedlicher Disziplinen zusammen: der Philosophie und Geschichte, der Baugeschichte und Geologie, der Literaturwissenschaft und Landschaftsarchitektur sowie der Geschichte der Gartenkunst und -kultur. Mit dem Band 7 der "Herrenhäuser Schriften" sollen die Vorträge der Matinee wiederum einer interessierten Öffentlichkeit zugänglich gemacht werden, ergänzt durch drei weitere Beiträge aus dem in der Matinee angesprochenen Spektrum. Die Themen reichen dabei von Leibniz' eigenem Garten in Hannover, seinen Reisen durch den Harz und seiner Auseinandersetzung mit der dortigen 'industriellen' Landschaft bis hin zu Leibniz und China sowie zur Frage, ob Leibniz inspirierend sein kann für die moderne Landschaftsarchitektur.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modernity was critically important to the formation and evolution of landscape architecture, yet its histories in the discipline are still being written. This book looks closely at the work and influences of some of the least studied figures of the era: established and less well-known female landscape architects who pursued modernist ideals in their designs. The women discussed in this volume belong to the pioneering first two generations of professional landscape architects and were outstanding in the field. They not only developed notable practices but some also became leaders in landscape architectural education as the first professors in the discipline, or prolific lecturers and authors. As early professionals who navigated the world of a male-dominated intellectual and menial work force they were exponents of modernity. In addition, many personalities discussed in this volume were either figures of transition between tradition and modernism (like Silvia Crowe, Maria Teresa Parpagliolo), or they fully embraced and furthered the modernist agenda (like Rosa Kliass, Cornelia Oberlander). The chapters offer new perspectives and contribute to the development of a more balanced and integrated landscape architectural historiography of the twentieth century. Contributions come from practitioners and academics who discuss women based in USA, Canada, Brazil, New Zealand, South Africa, the former USSR, Sweden, Britain, Germany, Austria, France and Italy. Ideal reading for those studying landscape history, women’s studies and cultural geography.

Book excerpt: Visions and Visionaries is an apt title for this volume of essays on contemporary Austrian literature and film, because this collection offers insightful discussions of a gallery of significant authors and cultural figures. It also investigates important issues of style and genre, and portrays questions of Austrian identity and culture in rich contexts of recent literary and multi-media developments, cross-cultural interactions, and historical forces. This book encompasses relevant trends and notions from the past - especially the complexities of lingering effects of the Nazi era - along with issues of the future - in particular the present and anticipated interactions of culture and cyberspace. The essays are enhanced by poems by Evelyn Schlag and Gerhard Kofler.

Book excerpt: The influence on the interplay of technical progress, imagination and functional variety in footbridges are different from those affecting large-scale bridges. This fact has resulted in an exhaustible variety of distinctive design, as is beautifully illustrated by the selection of footbridges shown in this book. Essays clearly explain the technical aspects and the aesthetic potential of different structure designs. Footbridges contains detailed presentations of 90 european bridges, with text, comprehensive and detail plans, and photographs taken especially for the volume. With projects by Arup, Jürg Conzett, Foster and Partners, Happold, Schlaich Bergermann and Partners, Wilkinson Eyre, Jiri Strasky and others. The examples are organized chronologically in thematically focused chapters: lightweight bridges, moving bridges, covered bridges, taut-ribbon suspension bridges, arch bridges, etc. For those whose curiosity is aroused by the insight given into this type of bridge building, a compilation of 120 more footbridges, listed by location, provide a starting point for further investigation. Ursula Baus is an independent architecture critic and the author of numerous books and technical articles. She teaches at Stuttgart University. Mike Schlaich is a professor of massive construction at the Technische Universität (Technical University) in Berlin and a partner of the firm Schlaich Bergermann and Partners. Wilfried Dechau is a photographer – he lives and works in Stuttgart and specializes in architecture, bridges, and portraits.
