Terraces and balconies have always been essential architectural features -- they are effectively the continuation of a dwelling outdoors. Terraces are mostly related directly to the landscape surrounding a building. They can frame a view -- for instance, through canopies or side walls --, they can imitate particular landscape elements on their own more human scale, or they can enable the landscape to be perceived and experienced in a different way.

Unlike terraces, balconies are first and foremost a structural element of a house, epitomising the character of the building and its architectural style. The balcony can be the crowning glory of a house -- the extension of the living space outdoors.

This book introduces terraces and balconies from all over the world that have been created by well-known architects and designers and that are particularly original or successfully unite aesthetics and functionality.

Двадцатый номер архитектурного журнала speech: посвящен теме ландшафт. В центре нашего внимания как традиционные ландшафты — парки, скверы, благоустроенные набережные и бульвары, так и новые форматы — городские фермы, многоуровневые вертикальные сады, озелененные кровли, использующиеся как полноценные общественные пространства, подземные зеленые оазисы и многое другое.

В развитии современных городов ландшафтная архитектура выполняет едва ли не самую ответственную миссию — именно она отвечает за формирование пространств, определяющих качество, разнообразие и комфортность среды того или иного поселения. Работающие на стыке множества специальностей, ландшафтные архитекторы не просто заполняют зеленью и общественными функциями пространства между зданиями и объектами инфраструктуры, но постоянно изобретают новые сценарии органичного сосуществования природной и рукотворной среды. И нет сомнений в том, что поиск форм интеграции природы в мегаполисы — одна из самых актуальных задач на предстоящие годы, поскольку иного способа сделать города более удобными, экологичными и устойчивыми просто нет.

Этот номер журнала speech: посвящен воде. Не только наша жизнь неразрывно связана с водой, но и облик и жизнеустройство городов и мест, в которых мы живем и которые любим посещать. Связь воды с архитектурой, ее роль в создании благоприятной жизненной среды гораздо глубже, чем это может показаться на первый взгляд. Вода способна разделять и объединять, служить естественной преградой или местом притяжения, она может использоваться в утилитарных или эстетических целях, являться одновременно реальностью и символом. Первые поселения и выросшие из них затем города создавались вдоль рек, по воде велась торговля, она служила для защиты, а также обслуживала множество других потребностей. Но отношение человека к воде всегда заключало в себе нечто большее, чем только утилитарный подход. И именно поэтому вода играла особую роль в создании общественных пространств, городских площадей и ансамблей, а также в развитии многих архитектурных типологий. На протяжении ХХ века вода все больше утрачивала свое функциональное значение в жизни городов, с перемещением портов и выводом промышленных предприятий прибрежные территории чаще всего надолго стали для большинства из них «проблемными зонами». Однако к концу века ситуация изменилась, и в последние годы во многих городах Европы, в Америке и Азии можно наблюдать обратный процесс – реки и другие водоемы приобретают новое значение и новую функцию. Cегодня вода играет все большую роль как в архитектурном решении отдельных зданий, так и в облике и образе жизни современного города. Прибрежные зоны, набережные, гавани и каналы становятся существенным фактором в создании комфортной для человека среды – привлекательной для жизни и работы, для культурного туризма и приятного времяпровождения на открытом воздухе. Они становятся важным идентификационным знаком и не только придают отдельным постройкам дополнительные эстетические качества, но и способствуют повышению привлекательности и ценности их окружения. Бывшие портовые и расположенные у воды промышленные территории получают свое второе рождение. Сегодня на них реализуются масштабные и смелые градостроительные идеи. Для многих плотно застроенных старых городов – это единственная возможность для расширения, а также возможность реализовать актуальные сегодня представления о городе будущего на территориях, несущих в себе память прошлого.

Журнал speech: артикулирует актуальные темы и позиции в современной архитектуре, раскрывая их с разных сторон – с точки зрения теории и практики, истории и современности, на основе зарубежного и российского материала и опыта, сопоставляя глобальные тенденции и локальные особенности.

Каждый номер журнала speech: полностью посвящен одной теме, раскрывая ее в разных ракурсах. Выбор темы связан с той частью профессии архитектора, которая дает основания считать ее искусством, а не только частью торговли квадратными метрами. speech: предоставляет возможность прямого высказывания российским и зарубежным архитекторам, культурологам, критикам и историкам архитектуры, экспертам в самых разных связанных с архитектурой областях.

Dan Pearson is one of the most important and influential landscape designers working today. At the heart of all his gardens lies an unshakeable theme – his reverence for the power and delicacy of nature: the spirit of the place.

This personal collection of new writing, illustrated by his own photographs, explores the sources of inspiration behind Dan’s work.
It reveals his response to landscapes both natural and designed, and the people, places and plants that have inspired him.

There's nothing quite as functional - or as beautiful - as nature's own building blocks. Often shaped and weathered by natural forces, each stone has its own unique look and feel.

Used as elements in a carefully planned landscape design, stonework can add an artful organization to your outdoor spaces. Creating sturdy walls, private patios, graceful gardens, and offering unlimited opportunities for your imagination to soar - with features like ponds, streams and waterfalls that can transform your property into a sylvan sanctuary.

From cover to cover, this delightful book offers hundreds of practical design ideas illustrated with colorful photographs and drawings, all divided into six sections.

Chapter 1: Paths and Steps

Chapter 2: Terraces, Patios and Garden Spaces

Chapter 3: Walls

Chapter 4: Benches, Landscaping Features & Sculpture

Chapter 5: Pools, Ponds and Fountains

Chapter 6: Finishing Touches

- The first book by distinguished designer John Saladino
- Inspiration for home and garden design
- Contains 200 full-color photographs, and a special gatefold feature
- An invaluable reference book, superbly designed and produced

In this volume, US design guru John Saladino reveals the secrets that made him one of the world's most respected interior designers. He reveals the inspiration behind his design philosophy with its mastery of colour, light and scale. Showing how lessons from the classical world can be implemented in contemporary design, he talks through the design principles that guide him and explains how he applies these principles to settings as well as suggesting solutions for your own home. Chapter by chapter he moves from discussing essential considerations such as light and colour to the more ambitious skills of mastering scale, illusion and exaggeration.

John Saladino is a graduate of Notre Dame and the Yale School of Art and Architecture. He worked in Rome with the architect Piero Sartogo before returning to New York where he opened his own architectural and interior design practice over 35 years ago. It is now known as The Saladino Group Inc. In 1986 he started his own furniture company. He has won numerous interior design and furniture awards (including the prestigious Daphne Award) and he is on the Board of Directors of the John Soane Museum in London. His interiors regularly appear in international magazines including House Beautiful, House and Garden, the New York Times Magazine, Architectural Digest, Vogue Decoration and the World of Interiors.

This volume introduces the most important trends and issues in gardening today; defines what constitutes a contemporary garden; and examines the latest innovations, practices, and approaches that have contributed to its development.

Talk About Contemporary Gardens makes it easy for novice gardeners to identify different gardening styles and place them in historical context, from the wasteland redevelopments of Simone Kroll, to contemporary Japanese landscaping that embodies the spirit of Zen, to the natural feather gardens of Sylvie and Patrick Quibel. Since the art of landscaping is tied to nature and the elements, a chapter on the relationship between gardening and the seasons looks at the life cycles of plants, the importance of light, rain, and the seasons, and how gardens behave when the sun goes down.

The book demonstrates the relationship between landscape gardening and contemporary art, architecture, design, and urbanism, examining the rich influences that tie them all together. From Brancusis sculpture-filled spaces, to Gaudis natural curves and buildings, the text and illustrations highlight how these practices inform each other in the modern world.
