European Landscape Architecture
The Dynamic Landscape
Best Practice in Detailing
Design, Ecology and Management of Naturalistic Urban Planting
Edited by Ian Thompson, University of Newcastle, UK, Torben Dam and Jens Balsby Nielsen, both at Royal Veterinary and Agriculture University, Copenhagen, Denmark
Edited by Nigel Dunnett and James Hitchmough, both at University of Sheffield, UK
This highly illustrated new work explores the relationship between the idea for the overall landscape architecture for a site and the design of details. Using an extensive collection of case studies from across Europe – including internationally acclaimed projects – European Landscape Architecture offers a profound understanding of decision-making throughout all stages of the design process, examining concept sketches and design development drawings. With contributions from the ECLAS (European Council of Landscape Architecture Schools) network edited by leading European landscape academics, this collection discusses the cultural and symbolic significance of the choice of construction materials and techniques used, as well as considering the issues of environmental sustainability. With such a depth of real-life examples, this book is an ideal resource for practitioners and students. Selected Contents: Introduction. Denmark. The Harbour Park, Islands Brygge, Copenhagen.

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE
ARCHITECTURAL PRACTICE
Landscapes of Taste The Art of Humphry Repton’s Red Books
Representing Landscape Architecture Edited by Marc Treib, University of California at Berkeley, USA Representing Landscape Architecture offers a broad investigation of how the designed landscape is and has been represented: for design study, for criticism and even for its realization.
André Rogger, College of Art and Design, Lucerne, Switzerland Series: The Classical Tradition in Architecture Assembling a comprehensive and descriptive catalogue of 123 original volumes, this book guides the reader through a fascinating part of the rich texture and legacy of Georgian landscape aesthetics.
It has been said that we can only realize what we can imagine. But in order to realize we must convey ideas to others as well as to ourselves. Representation is by no means neutral and the process of communication, the process by which the imagination takes its first form, itself necessarily limits the range of our design possibilities. Computers further remove from cognitive processes and raise new questions about methods and limits.
Selected Contents: Part 1: Humphry Repton in his Times Part 2: Humphry Repton’s Position in the History of English Gardening Part 3: The Red Book as a Genre: Form and Argument Part 4: The Red Books in Context: Sources and Models Part 5: Reading Landscape Between Drawing and Topography: Repton’s Key Principle of Appropriation Part 6: Paintings Recollected: The Fate of the Picturesque in the Red Books Part 7: The Rule of Taste in Repton’s Work. Appendix 1: Catalogue of Humphry Repton’s 123 Red Books. Appendix 2: Transcripts of Selected Red Books. Notes. Bibliography and Sources. Index
Written by a team of renowned practitioners and academics, this book is the best available reference to date on the many dimensions of landscape representation.

Sustainable Urban Design An Environmental Approach Edited by Adam Ritchie and Randall Thomas, both Consultants, Max Fordham LLP, London, UK By the end of the twenty-first century it is thought that three-quarters of the world’s population will be urban; our future is in cities. Making these cities healthy, vibrant and sustainable is an exceptional challenge which this book addresses. It sets out some of the basic principles of the design of our future cities and, through a series of carefully selected case studies from leading designers’ experience, illustrates how these ideas can be put into practice. Building on the first edition’s original format of design guidance and case studies, this new edition updates the ideas and techniques resulting from further research and practice by the contributors. This book emphasizes the enormous progress made towards exciting new designs that integrate good design with resource efficiency. Selected Contents: Introduction Part 1: The Toolkit 1.

Urban Design Futures
Cities Design & Evolution
Edited by Malcolm Moor, University of Westminster, London, UK and Jon Rowland, Principal of JRUD Urban Designers, Oxford, UK
Stephen Marshall, University College London, UK Cities Design & Evolution offers an engaging and original narrative that interprets planning philosophies from Modernism to New Urbanism, organic theories from Patrick Geddes to Le Corbusier, and evolutionary thinking from Charles Darwin to Richard Dawkins. The book develops a new evolutionary perspective that recognizes both the ‘designed’ and ‘organic’ nature of cities, and provides a rationale and impetus for fresh approaches to urban planning and design. In what is the first book to significantly apply modern evolutionary thinking to urbanism, Cities Design & Evolution promises to stimulate thought, debate and action concerning the nature of cities and future urban planning. The book should appeal to all who are interested in cities, in design and in evolution. Selected Contents: 1. Introduction 2. Cities, Planning and Modernism 3. Articulating Urban Order 4. The Social Logic of Urban Order 5. The Kind of Thing a City is 6. Emergence and Evolution 7. Emergent Urban Order 8. Cities in Evolution 9. Planning, Design and Evolution 10.

Introduction by Alan Powers Le Corbusier (1887-1965) is arguably the most influential architect of the twentieth century. Despite the fact that he designed no permanent buildings in the United Kingdom, more than any other individual he was responsible for shaping British post-war architecture. Le Corbusier and Britain traces the growing awareness of work by this visionary figure in contemporary architecture journals and the popular press. Contributions by such prominent architects and critics as Edwin Lutyens, Herbert Read, Evelyn Waugh, Peter Smithson, Jane Drew, Basil Spence, and Christopher Brooker are accompanied by 150 illustrations, together with writings and drawings by Le Corbusier himself. Also featuring the most comprehensive bibliography of British writings by and about Le Corbusier ever published, this book is an invaluable addition to the study of architecture. Publishing to coincide with Le Corbusier – The Art of Architecture exhibition, 20082009, which is organized by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Trust.
