Abstract

RIPARIA is a concept encompassing the complex environment of watersides and having its semantic roots in the Roman world. It is constructed on the basis of land use patterns and economic activities (colonization, urbanization, exploitation of natural resources). The contributions to this volume present the challenges facing ancient and modern preindustrial societies in managing such areas. They highlight the role of social representations of watersides and their management (risk management, ecosystem services, cultural heritage) as an interface between the natural and the social systems, in view of identifying ethical principles for both the preservation and transformation of these environments, particularly vulnerable to climate change and variations. --

Abstract

Michel Desvigne is no doubt the most high-profile French landscape architect working today. He collaborates with architects like Richard Rogers, Norman Foster, Renzo Piano, Ieoh Ming Pei, Herzog and de Meuron, and Jean Nouvel, and his projects are synonymous with a strong strategic and conceptual component, influenced by insights from geography. Traffic projects also play an important role in his work - they underscore the competence of landscape architecture in matters of city planning. This thematic monograph documents the key elements of Desvigne's work in individual chapters: processes of transformation, geography, territory, urban structures, and public squares. Each of these themes is vividly illustrated by selected projects, including the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, the Dallas Center for the Performing Arts, the French Ministry of Culture in Paris, and Keio University in Tokyo. Michel Desvigne kann sicherlich als der international profilierteste französische Landschaftsarchitekt gelten. Er arbeitet mit Architekten wie Richard Rogers, Norman Foster, Renzo Piano, Ieoh Ming Pei, Herzog & de Meuron sowie Jean Nouvel zusammen, und seine Projekte stehen für eine starke strategische und konzeptionelle Komponente, beeinflusst durch Erkenntnisse aus der Geographie. Eine große Rolle spielen zudem Verkehrsprojekte, die die städtebaulich-planerische Kompetenz der Landschaftsarchitektur unterstreichen. Die thematische Monografie dokumentiert die Schlüsselelemente Desvignes Arbeit innerhalb einzelner Kapitel: Transformationsprozesse, Geographie, Territorium, urbane Strukturen und öffentliche Plätze. Die Themen werden durch eine Auswahl von Projekten jeweils anschaulich illustriert, u.a. dem Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, dem Dallas Center for the Performing Arts, dem französischen Kulturministerium in Paris und der Keio University in Tokio.
