Through over twenty case studies this book constructs a picture of worldwide attempts to address these problems – projects that often use minimal resources to effect the maximum possible change, with the most precious resource being imagination.

Some of the ideas are breathtakingly simple:

  -  a mobile farm in Chicago that turns vacant lots into a source of food and employment
  -  a remote Japanese mountain village making a profitable virtue out of snow
  -  water pumps in south African villages operated by a child’s roundabout

– others rely on more subtle interventions, working over years to rebuild the broken ties of society and encouraging communities to take responsibility for their own environments.

Brimming with ideas, inspiring stories, and the conviction that design professionals can indeed make a difference to the lives of ordinary people, this book will galvanize all those working in architecture, landscape and design, but also all those who care about the future of our societies.

Presents playground design ideas by featuring playgrounds from around the world which provide both entertaining environments and aesthetically pleasing public spaces while also assuring that safety requirements are met.

Design Ideas for Decks and Patios presents ideas, styles, and the latest trends designed to cater to the outdoor-living needs and desires of today's homeowners. Living it up stylishly in today's casual open-air "rooms" calls for serious design consideration. In this photo-driven book, readers will find lots of examples of floating and single- and multi-level decks and attached structures (gazebos, pergolas, built-ins, stairs and railing) and soft-set as well as mortar-based patios. The book also comes with information and tips for choosing a site and shape, plus a rundown on material options (wood versus synthetic decking; stone, brick, interlocking pavers, and concrete).

In addition, Design Ideas for Decks and Patios helps the reader make important decisions that will affect how they will use the space: choosing furnishings; controlling light and shade; equipping a cooking area or outdoor kitchen; integrating a pool, spa, or water feature; outfitting the deck and patio with media accoutrements; and extending the season with a fireplace or firepit and heating and cooling devices.

The first part of this book explores Arabella Lennox-Boyd's philosophy and establishes the principles of her approach to design: the importance of relating the garden not only to the landscape but also to the spirit of the house and the individuality of the owner; how to establish the bare bones of a design – enclosing garden rooms, and opening up garden space; how to use vertical structures to best effect; and how to clothe bare bones with plants appropriate to the type of garden. Design ideas for everything from paving and pergolas to perennial plantings burst from every page, captured in Andrew Lawson's atmospheric images and Lennox-Boyd's plans.

The second part of the book looks in detail at more than 20 very different gardens, many these are private and never photographed before.

DOLOMITI is the first in a collection of annual books on the Dolomites, with a different and more detailed view than that offered by the traditional iconography of this place, recently declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO. This view, the result of the overlapping work in photography, architecture and urban planning is explained together with research on the alpine landscape produced by the Dolomites Workshop, established at the University of Trento in cooperation with other European schools of architecture. This first volume consists of original images by photographer Gregor Sailer and a series of texts describing the various stages of the UNESCO nomination process.

Questo primo volume è composto da originali immagini del fotografo Gregor Sailer e da una serie di testi che descrivono i diversi passaggi, dalla candidatura Unesco, alla natura delle Dolomiti, fino alle prime ricerche avviate sul questo affascinante complesso naturale.
"Geoscape" è la sintesi che rappresenta al meglio l'area dolomitica, frutto di uno straordinario incrocio tra geografia e geologia determinanti il paesaggio, ma alludendo anche ad una nuova maniera di affrontare la conoscenza e il progetto per i contesti di particolare sensibilità.

У цій книзі новатори у сфері садівництва Хенк Геррітсен та Піт Удольф описують свої ідеальні багаторічні рослини, цибулини, трави, папороті та невеликі чагарники. Ідеальна рослина – це та, яка є одночасно красивою та міцною, що надійно росте з мінімальним втручанням садівника.

Хенк Геррітсен та Піт Удольф мають справді інноваційний підхід до садівництва. Замість того, щоб прагнути великих, яскравих масивів барвистих квітів, які енергійно обрізають, щойно вони закінчують цвітіння, автори обирають рослини головним чином за їхньою формою – листям, квітковими головками та стеблами – що означає, що вони зберігають свою природну красу протягом усіх пір року.

Travel journalist and hotel expert Meg Nolan van Reesema has explored England from London to the Lake District for its most pampering, exclusive hideaways. Oxfordshire’s Le Manoir aux Quat’ Saisons is one of England’s most prized destinations, with its 2-Michelin–star cuisine and the manor house’s French-inspired rooms featuring luscious silk fabrics, mullioned windows, and four-poster beds. Just an hour outside London, the stately Hartwell House ensures a peek into the grandeur of England’s former estates: each room offers original details, antique furnishings, and massive Georgian windows overlooking the property’s parkland, complete with grazing cows and a small river filled with swans.

With more than 200 original photographs of stunning interiors set against romantic English landscapes from the moors to the seaside (the book includes properties in Cornwall, Devon, York, Wiltshire, the Cotswolds, Oxfordshire, Norfolk, The Peak District, East Sussex, Lancashire, Yorkshire Dales, Northumberland, Middle England, Lake District, and London), the book is an invaluable guide to the finest escapes in England.

For over a century, Country Life has been an influential force in the world of garden design, chiefly as a result of its weekly articles on country houses and gardens illustrated with specially commissioned photography. The magazine’s unrivalled archive of photographs is the key source for this comprehensive history of the changing styles of garden design during the twentieth century. Gertrude Jekyll was one of the first contributors and advisors to Country Life, and in her wake a succession of gardening and architectural editors has used its pages to champion a favoured garden style. Tim Richardson, himself a former gardens editor of the magazine, has drawn on this remarkable legacy to produce the first serious study of English garden design in the twentieth century. The story begins with Arts and Crafts gardens, typified by herbaceous borders and modern planting, and continues with the Edwardian debate between formality and ‘wild’ gardening, interwar grandeur, post-war practicality, and finally the emergence of visionary and pioneering artists’ gardens.

California has long been known as a place where dreams and fantasies are made real, and this is particularly true of its gardens, which can host a seemingly endless variety of plants from many different climates.

With color photographs on almost every page, this book showcases 15 estate gardens that are exuberantly Californian, from the classically inspired, 654-acre gardens of Filoli near San Francisco, a property of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, to the Huntington Library Gardens in San Marino, one of the premier botanical gardens in the world.

Here too is the opulent and strange but wildly popular Lotusland in Montecito, created by Madam Ganna Walska and designer Lockwood de Forest.

The origins of garden culture: from Paradise to the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, from the ancient hortulus to the medieval cloister garden. Extensive observations of harmonic garden designs in the Renaissance spirit and monumental baroque gardens. Separate chapters on the Arab gardens of Spain, Arcadian English landscaped parks and even the contemporary "green islands" that grace modern cities.
