Abstract

The last few decades were dominated by the urban, the digital, and the sleek as well as a notable esteem for speed and consumption. Today, a growing countermovement is advocating for a sustainable and more responsible way of dealing with our environment and bringing nature back to our cities. My Green City celebrates this turnaround as well as the way of life and creativity of the designers, artists, architects, activists, and passionate laypeople involved. The book presents inspirational projects from around the world—from urban farming initiatives and architectural visions that are changing our cities as a whole, to furniture and other everyday objects that can make our own streets and homes greener. Guerilla gardeners are decorating urban eyesores with flowers. Glamping resorts offer hip, yet environmentally friendly vacations amid beautiful landscapes. Designers are creating projects, products, and works of art that use plants in a functional or aesthetic way—or are perhaps just trying to get people to think differently.

Abstract

CROSS-over gaat over een kunstveld dat de grenzen oversteekt. Meer bepaald naar de wereld van de media en technologie. Zoals hun voorgangers werken hedendaagse kunstenaars werken met de materialen van hùn tijd: het internet, gps, RFID of nanotechnologie. Samen met programmeurs, vormgevers en onderzoekers creëren ze nieuwe uitdrukkingsvormen, nieuwe relaties met het publiek en nieuwe vormen van bewaren en ontsluiten. Heel wat kunstenaars hebben zich toegelegd op deze (nieuwe) media om kunst te maken. Films op internet, virtuele ervaring in het theater, culturele plekken die live met elkaar verbonden worden, verhalen in de vorm van een game, installaties, interactieve poëzie enz. behoren tot de mogelijkheden Zowat alle belangrijke binnen- en buitenlandse cultuurhuizen en organisaties geven er een plaats aan zoals filmfestivals, theaters, kunstencentra, tijdschriften, musea en ook de publieke omroep. Het is belangrijk deze nieuwe praktijken te duiden opdat ze nog beter doorstromen naar andere vertoners en domeinen. De publicatie richt zich tot iedereen met interesse in kunst en cultuur en hoe ze veranderen onder de invloed van media en technologie in de kennis- en informatiemaatschappij.

Abstract

In the twenty-first century, cities worldwide must respond to a growing and diverse population, ever-shifting economic conditions, new technologies, and a changing climate. Short-term, community-based projects—from pop-up parks to open streets initiatives—have become a powerful and adaptable new tool of urban activists, planners, and policy-makers seeking to drive lasting improvements in their cities and beyond. These quick, often low-cost, and creative projects are the essence of the Tactical Urbanism movement. Whether creating vibrant plazas seemingly overnight or re-imagining parking spaces as neighborhood gathering places, they offer a way to gain public and government support for investing in permanent projects, inspiring residents and civic leaders to experience and shape urban spaces in a new way.   Tactical Urbanism, written by Mike Lydon and Anthony Garcia, two founders of the movement, promises to be the foundational guide for urban transformation. The authors begin with an in-depth history of the Tactical Urbanism movement and its place among other social, political, and urban planning trends. A detailed set of case studies, from guerilla wayfinding signs in Raleigh, to pavement transformed into parks in San Francisco, to a street art campaign leading to a new streetcar line in El Paso, demonstrate the breadth and scalability of tactical urbanism interventions. Finally, the book provides a detailed toolkit for conceiving, planning, and carrying out projects, including how to adapt them based on local needs and challenges.   Tactical Urbanism will inspire and empower a new generation of engaged citizens, urban designers, land use planners, architects, and policymakers to become key actors in the transformation of their communities.
