Abstract

Despite the burgeoning interest in metropolitan growth and globalization there has been no way of directly comparing metropolises - until now, that is. This atlas offers a unique survey of global trade networks and their impact on metropolitan space. It documents a total of 101 metropolises, analysing them in easy-to-read ground plans. It also includes index numbers and tables regarding such aspects as population, density, pollution, travel time, data traffic, air and water travel and the size of Central Business Districts. Its unexpected combination of ground plans and statistics makes this atlas a unique work of reference where for the first time metropolitan areas like Beijing, Lagos, London, Los Angeles, Rio de Janeiro and Tokyo can be compared with one another and in terms of their position in the global urban network.

Peu importe le style architectural du moment, les espaces verts autour des maisons, des stades ou des sièges sociaux ont pris une importance considérable, d'autant plus avec l'accent mis sur l'écologie et la conception écologique. Ce livrenous présente le travail des grands designers du moment, de Ken Smith, auteur du Musée du jardin sur le toit d'Art Moderne, pour West 8 à Rotterdam, mais aussi ceux des architectes allant de Steven Holl à Tadao Ando, qui ont longtemps été fascinés par les environnements de leurs bâtiments. Il ya des noms nouveaux comme les Libanais l'architecte paysagiste Vladimir Djurovic et bien connues; comme Renzo Piano. Il ya des entreprises établies, comme la famille Wirtz de la Belgique ou Gustafson Porter des États-Unis, et de jeunes créateurs comme Sophie Agata Ambroise de Lugano. L'architecture du paysage ne ​​sont pas toujours faciles à délimiter, mais ce nouveau livre vous ouvre les portes et les fenêtres de l'architecture d'aujourd'hui dans les jardins de demain.
