Abstract

Playgrounds offer children the opportunity to slide, seesaw, swing, climb, skate, and do much more. They enhance children’s motor skills along with their social interaction skills. Playgrounds are considered the most important areas for children and youths outside the home and school environment. The key to the success of this demanding design task is the productive cooperation of architects and designers, landscape architects and urban planners, educators, artists and play equipment manufacturers.This illustrated volume is dedicated to today's 'kidscapes', presenting the most innovative international concepts and current trends. The projects that were carefully selected for this volume all have one thing in common – they offer fantasy worlds and play oases that combine the highest levels of aesthetics and design, play, adventure and safety to provide children with room to unfold their creativity and share it with others.

Abstract

Tout au long du XXe siècle la création des objets, comme celle de l'architecture, a progressé par rupture -c'était le progrès-, ou par opposition -c'était la contestation. Les Modernes s'opposaient aux Anciens, la fonction à la décoration, l'industrie à l'artisanat. Le béton succédait à la pierre, les plastiques au bois, la chaise en porte à faux à la chaise à quatre pieds, etc. Autant de ruptures, autant de points de repères. Autant la modernité, à l'issue des deux dernières guerres mondiales, a progressé par opposition, autant le post-modernisme a multiplié les ambiguïtés, sublimé l'ambivalence. Hybridation, mot clef de la dernière décennie: plus rien ne s'oppose à rien, tout se combine, tout cohabite, tout se téléscope ou mieux, se superpose. Histoires, régions, matériaux, significations: global melting-pot. La fiction, malgré le célèbre interdit qui pèse sur la décoration au début du siècle ("L'ornement est un crime") ne s'est-elle pas fait un nidsecret au sein de la fonction en compagnie de quelques autres "créations de l'imagination" (motif, mythe, merveilleux et ppourquoi pas sacré)?

Abstract

Airports have never been more central to the life of cities, yet they have remained relatively peripheral in design discourse. In spite of this, however, landscape architects in recent decades have reaffirmed their historic assertions about the airfield as a site of design through a range of practices. Airport Landscape: Urban Ecologies in the Aerial Age presents these practices through case study projects for the ecological enhancement of operating airports and the conversion of abandoned airports. This material supports the claim of an augmented role for landscape architects commensurate with their desire to be considered urbanists of the aerial age. The book gathers work from the eponymous exhibition that was held at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, presenting the airport as a site of and for landscape.
