Abstract

L'Aire restaurée et son paysage redeviennent vivants par la tension entre des formes passées et présentes, comme pour résister à la tentation de créer une réalité nouvelle sans rupture. Le projet affirme que toute régénération du paysage est un acte profondément culturel, tout autant qu'il est un processus écologique. Les histoires naturelles et culturelles du site s'associent de manière critique, non comme de simples références stylistiques ou formelles, mais comme source de signification et de présence, exprimées dans la matérialité sensuelle du paysage South of Geneva, Switzerland, the Aire River runs across a plain that for centuries has been agricultural land. Since the late nineteenth century, the waterway has been embanked for flood protection, which has caused a gradual loss of habitat for a large variety of plants and animals. In 2001, a decision was made to renaturalize the river. Yet rather than merely reconstructing the river's former natural bed, Superpositions, the association of firms commissioned with the project, applied "topographic imagination," a method that combines the embanked channel with a newly designed pasture landscape.

Abstract

Flussufer in der Stadt sind attraktive Orte von hohem Aufenthaltswert. Das Gestalten solcher urbanen Flusslandschaften ist vielfältigen Anforderungen unterworfen: es gilt, Hochwasserschutz, Freiraumgestaltung und Ökologie in Einklang zu bringen, häufig auf sehr beengtem Raum.Das Buch ist Ergebnis einer mehrjährigen Studie, in der zahlreiche vorbildliche Projekte einer vergleichenden Analyse unterzogen wurden. Daraus entstand ein systematischer Katalog sinnvoller Strategien und innovativer Gestaltungselemente. Der Gestalter und Planer erhält so erstmals einen Überblick über das Spektrum der zahlreichen entwurflichen Möglichkeiten.Für die überarbeitete Neuausgabe wurden zehn aktuelle Projekte, vor allem aus Nordamerika, ausgewählt und dokumentiert. Urban riverbanks are attractive locations and highly prized recreational environments. However, they must meet the requirements of flood control, open space design and ecology at the same time, often a challenging task for the designer. This book is the product of extensive research that identified some 60 best-practice examples and subjected them to a comparative analysis. The result is a systematic catalog of effective strategies and innovative design tools that provides readers with an inspiring overview of the broad spectrum of design possibilities for river spaces. Each project is illustrated with photographs taken especially for the book and each design strategy and tool is explained by diagrams.This revised edition introduces ten new case studies chiefly from North America.
