Introduire la nature dans les villes est un des grands défis du XXIe siècle. Les jardins verticaux sont peut-être la solution la plus spectaculaire, car ces jardins sont bien plus qu'une tendance décorative : ils offrent l'occasion de ramener la vie et la végétation dans les grandes villes. Ce livre est le premier à passer en revue les exemples les plus significatifs de jardins verticaux, qui constituent un apport unique en son genre au vocabulaire de l'architecture internationale. Les architectes qui se servent d'ingénieux systèmes de fixation sont en mesure de créer des compositions végétales et de les adapter aux contextes les plus divers : hôtels de luxe, immeubles de bureaux, musées, parkings ou jardins publics. Enrichi par les réflexions des représentants inventifs de cette nouvelle esthétique, ce livre est organisé par thèmes et décrit les premières expériences d'artistes comme Hundertwasser et Vito Acconci, les progrès réalisés au nom du principe « green over the gray » formulé par Emilio Ambasz, ainsi que les extraordinaires compositions végétales de Patrick Blanc, d'Édouard François et de Terunobu Fujimori. Tous ces projets conjuguent les matériaux artificiels et les technologies récentes avec une gamme d'espèces végétales qui partent à l'assaut de la dimension verticale. http://www.citadelles-mazenod.com/page.php?ref=catalogue&rub=textfiche&id_livre=151&idtext=2

The exterior of a building functions as a loadbearing structure and as a protective envelope. It can also be used to express status. But what are the available principles of enveloping? And what are the formal and functional criteria for selecting a facade system? The fifth volume of the SCALE series, Enclose | Build, deals with building enclosures: options include different construction methods, materials and surfaces with which a wide variety of design effects can be achieved. The book illustrates how the interaction between loadbearing structure and building envelope - from its base, via the outside wall, tot the roof - functions, and what the criteria are for selecting a facade system, which range from solid, single-skin walls to complex facade systems. Enclose | Build is a vital tool for every architect and designer.

"Affordable building lots in central locations in the large cities and metropolises are rare. When there are no available gaps in the urban structure, attic conversions and extensions are an interesting and favoured form of redensification. This volume explores approximately 60 attic projects, as extensions, conversions, or new construction, which utilise the previously used storage space for new use. Existing buildings are expanded upwards and adapted to the contemporary desires and demands of their use. Some constitute a homogenous extension of the existing facade and augment the view in a barely noticeable way. Others use the design freedom above the eave height in order to create a 21st century architecture which contrasts with the historical building substance."--Publisher description.

Stepped terrace housing is a building that more than meets modern housing requirements: it is economical and offers ample living space with the comfort of terrace and garden. First rising to popularity with the advent of new social movements in the 1960s, it was then forgotten as the fresh ideas of society progressively eroded. However, the enduring satisfaction of residents and ecological advantages of buildings covered in greenery make stepped terrace housing as attractive as ever. The buildings studied in the book are not only architectural icons ; one can learn so much from them about what residential buildings need today. One proponent of this building style was Harry Glück, passage of whose plea to build Green Cities can be reade in this volume.
