Drawing is a powerful form of communication, and it can activate the imagery. This volume discusses two themes: the representation of landscape, where the image is used for descriptive purposes, and the prefigurement of landscape, where drawing is the tool for the definition of scenes. The two actions are closely related. Outlining the structure of the landscape (for which the bird's eye view appears to be an effective representation) enables the deduction of the constitutive and evolutionary rules which necessarily lead to the identification of the rules of good behaviour for the preservation and transformation of the landscape. Drawing these action guidelines can help aim the transformations, as it allows the simple and straight communication of the ways in which it is possible to intervene in our common living environment.

Marie Luise Gothein verfasste 1914 mit ihrer ?Geschichte der Gartenkunst? einen Klassiker, der bis heute zwar übersetzt und neuaufgelegt, nie jedoch als Grundlagenwerk in den Fokus gerückt wurde. Diese Arbeit untersucht die intellektuellen und ästhetischen Konzepte der Autorin im Hinblick auf ihre Darstellung der Gartenkunst. Welchen Prämissen folgt die Kulturwissenschaftlerin bei der Fixierung des stets im Wandel begriffenen Raumkunstwerks Garten in Text und Bild? Welche Rolle spielt die Reformgartenbewegung, die zur Zeit der Veröffentlichung in vollem Gange war? Die Analyse von Gotheins Gartenbeschreibungen, etwa der Villa d?Este, zeigt, wie grundlegend die Geschichtsschreibung von den Herausforderungen der Zeit beeinflusst ist: Im Sinne des Ecocriticism spiegeln die Bände die Auseinandersetzung des Menschen mit seiner Umwelt.

"This book provides a comparative perspective on housing and planning policies affecting the future of cities, focusing on people-based and place-based outcomes using the nexus of planning, design and policy. A rich mosaic of case studies features good practices of city-led strategies for affordable housing provision, as well as individual projects capitalising on partnerships to build mixed-income housing and revitalise neighbourhoods. Twenty chapters provide unique perspectives on diversity of approaches in seven countries and fifteen cities in Europe, Canada and the USA. Combining academic rigour with knowledge from critical practice, the book uses robust empirical analysis and evidence-based case study research to illustrate the potential of affordable housing partnerships for mixed-income, socially inclusive neighbourhoods as a model to rebuild cities. Cities and Affordable Housing is an essential interdisciplinary collection on planning and design that will be of great interest to scholars, urban professionals, architects, planners and policy-makers interested in housing, urban planning and city building"--
