Abstract

Over the past two decades, James Corner has reinvented the field of landscape architecture. His highly influential writings of the 1990s--included in our bestselling Recovering Landscape--together with a post-millennial series of built projects, such as New York's celebrated High Line, prove that the best way to address the problems facing our cities is to embrace their industrial past. Collecting Corner's written scholarship from the early 1990s through 2010, The Landscape Imagination addresses critical issues in landscape architecture and reflects on how his writings have informed the built work of his thriving New York-based practice, Field Operations.

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.

Abstract

It is in the wilderness of cities rather than in nature that the imagination of these landscape drawings comes to life. Without any heroic emphasis, these drawings result from the observation of traces, evident or discreet, in the urban landscape, and the process to collect and memorise traces is the way to consider memory as a primary medium for creativity.0The selected collection of over 150 drawings, thought and imagined over many years, delineates a personal city experience, without any intention of building a new city theory. No single drawing in this book is a representation of cities in-situ; all of them are interpretations, translations, and combinations of traces collected and selected while teaching, working, meeting cultures, and eating food in many different cities around the world. These drawings are a different form of communication than the beautiful renderings produced in endless numbers.
