Abstract

This book presents a new approach to the issues of urban landscape design. Improvisation is a clear departure from the typical institutional or economically-driven approaches to design in the inner city. It allows sociocultural patterns and everyday activities to shape space. This study explores scenes of life in the community of West Oakland, California. It focuses on activities in and around several Model Cities parks, reveals limitations in their intention and use, and builds on observations of life in the parks to develop theoretical designs inspired by improvisation.

The book provides examples of how African American landscapes are rejected and erased in a variety of places across the US--from Charlotte, NC, to New Orleans, LA, Detroit, MI, and Milwaukee, WI--along with calls to action"--

Abstract

Welches Wissen ist für den Landschaftsarchitekten unabdingbar? Die Antworten auf diese Frage sind so vielfältig, wie es die Landschaftsarchitektur selbst ist. Das Buch versammelt fünf Antworten von 50 Landschaftsarchitekten aus Europa, Nord- und Südamerika, Asien und Australien. Es sind Stimmen von Praktizierenden und Lehrenden, von jungen Start-ups wie von international etablierten Büros. Die Publikation veranschaulicht die komplexe und dynamische Natur der Disziplin und bildet so einen vielfältigen Querschnitt der notwendigen Expertise. Zugleich macht sie aber auch die jeweilige individuelle Haltung erfahrbar, in die geografische Gegebenheiten, soziale Kontexte sowie politische Umstände einfließen.250 Statements werden auf je einer Doppelseite präsentiert und durch eine Abbildung veranschaulicht. What knowledge is indispensable for the landscape architect? The answers to this question are as diverse as landscape architecture itself.In this book 50 landscape architects from Europe, North and South America, Asia and Australia each give five responses. These include practitioners and teachers, young start-ups as well as internationally established firms. The publication illustrates the complex and dynamic nature of the discipline, and presents a diverse cross-section of the core expertise of this field. At the same time, it allows the reader to trace the individual attitudes into which geographical conditions, social contexts and political circumstances flow.Each of the 250 statements is presented on a double page and illustrated by a picture.
