With increased attention to sustainability and environmental concerns, landscape architects now lead teams of urban planners and architects in developing new outdoor space and reconfiguring existing designs. As the preeminent landscape architecture firm in the United States, Olin is at the forefront of this movement with completed projects across the country and in Europe. The firm was awarded the gold medal of the American Society of Landscape Architects, the profession's highest honor, in 2006.

Well-known for the restorations of Bryant Park behind the New York Public Library and the landscape of the Washington Monument, Olin is also recognized for the dramatic transformation of a derelict, brownfield site into the vibrant Canary Wharf, now the financial center for all Europe, and for the landscape design of the J. Paul Getty Center in Los Angeles and Columbus Circle in New York. The firm has also designed sculpture gardens for the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and the Toledo Museum of Art in Toledo, Ohio.

In dialogues with noted colleagues and collaborators, each of the partners articulates a personal vision and philosophy of landscape and design. Laurie Olin, founding partner, speaks with the poet Michael Palmer, while Susan Weiler reflects on her collaboration with artist Jenny Holzer. Other dialogue participants are Kim Tripp, former director of the New York Botanical Garden; Niall Kirkwood, chair of the landscape architecture department at Harvard; Sean Timmons, founder of Simmons Design Engineering; and Charles Waldheim, a leading proponent of landscape urbanism. Taken together, these conversations provide a unique window into the creative process.

Good design is a good investment—poor quality or unimaginative spaces will not be attractive to children; the play space may not be valued by the local community and may fall into disuse and disrepair.

High-quality, integrated play space design is imperative in helping to attract children and families, and for the playground to become a valued part of the local environment.

This detailed book examines key drivers in best play space designs: it investigates the importance of play, preparations and planning, how to develop a strong design brief, good layout, choosing the right equipment materials for the type of space, and how to incorporate the best natural elements into the play space design.

This strong reference also describes key design issues, such as boundaries and fencing issues, along with standards for major equipment, including platforms, guardrails and protective barriers. There’s also a comprehensive section on hazards and dangers.

The book showcases an international range of projects divided into three major case study themes: play spaces in parks, communities and schools, with each case study illuminated by informative narrative text descriptions, and accompanied by rich, full-color photography, detailed diagrams and illustrations.

Walking and cycling are becoming a fashionable lifestyle both as a low-impact exercise and a healthy means of travel.

There is ever-growing demand for the construction of pedestrian and cyclist paths internationally, and it’s the rate of growth that highlights new challenges, as well as opportunities, for landscape designers. This book showcases several exciting design projects of pedestrian and cyclist paths across a range of environments, from cities to local communities, urban areas to larger national parks.

This book addresses how the issues of connectivity and urban public space are common across different cultural and geographic settings. At the same time, solutions differ in response to the character of individual sites and their context within an urban or natural landscape setting. The highly illustrated projects demonstrate a commitment to creative design to produce new public spaces that are not only functional, but provide opportunities for people to move easily through them and interact with the surrounding urban and natural environments.

The book includes an informative design guide and a set of criteria that should provide strong reference materials in the evolving landscape realm of developing sustainable, green infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists.

This comprehensive study is a must-have publication for landscape architects, urban design professionals, town planners, students and educators in the urban design fields.

In the post-industrial age, Dusseldorf is increasingly focusing on future-oriented services in fields such as media and communications. Current urban planning reflects this trend, as does the city planners’ theme, “Preserving identity while shaping the future.” Dusseldorf’s planning serves the demands of the New Economy, promotes cultural, educational and scientific facilities, and preserves the city’s characteristic blend of traditional lifestyle, strong business pulse and international flair. Urban planning in Düsseldorf includes outstanding projects on an international scale, such as the Media Harbor, the Airport City and the new fairgrounds. Special importance is assigned to urban planning projects with emphasis on improving the image of the city center, exemplified by the PLATZDA! Program. New developments also include high-quality residential units, as seen in the Heerdter Feld estate. This book, published under the patronage of mayor Joachim Erwin in the series “Plans, Projects, and Buildings,” presents one hundred projects that are currently in planning, under construction, or already completed. It features ample photographs and plans, and provides a kind of snapshot of current architectural developments in Dusseldorf.

Abstract:

Carry forward Regional Context

Exploration of local features and traditional context creates spaces that shows care and respect for people, spreads charm of history and beauty of encounter of the new and the old. Correct treatment for relationship between protection of historical context and new construction can better realize planning that suits local conditions. Close connection of cultural landscape with natural environment creates spaces with new features. Seaming various spaces with cultural context can blend the new and the old into a whole.
 
Create a Harmonious Neighborhood

With development of cities, the role of community shifts from a place of living to a place that cares people’s well-being. Whether traditional warm family moments can be brought back in life in modern communities attracts wide attention. A harmonious neighborhood not only facilitates life, study and work, but also has a positive impact on community development. Creation of a harmonious neighborhood needs to make behaviors of associating and activity attributes as major factors in planning, build up public facilities, optimize layout of dwellings and strengthen connection of spaces to promote communication among neighbors under one roof.
 
Promote Value of Commercial Facilities

To optimize layout of commercial real estate, the solution is equilibrium, which refers to balance and compatibility among commercial forms, brands and layouts. Equilibrium contributes to mutual promotion for different markets and categories of commodities. Furthermore, it will enhance all-round development and maximize commercial value.

In this small, but sharply-pointed book, renowned theorist Sanford Kwinter addresses the sometimes subtle, sometimes brutal transformations that characterized the modernization processes set into motion at the turn of the millennium.

From the strange appearance of the 'Trojan Horse' that was the Centre Pompidou which served as the harbinger and template of the new idea of "Europe", through the dot.com bubble of the late 1990s, to the destruction of the World Trade Center Towers in New York, a new world came into being that design thinking has yet to fully take into account.

The City is here seen not only as the last frontier of human history currently under threat of total eclipse, it is the indomitable form of collective experience upon which one can count as assuredly as one can on death and taxes.

Requiem, to quote from Thomas Daniell's introduction, is first and foremost redemptive: "Kwinter's most negative assessments of the city are driven by a deep commitment to its sublime potentials--a desire to sacralize the most profane and fecund of human creations"

Over the last 10 years, Rome has initiated an extensive process of urban transformation involving important changes in both the city s centre and suburbs. The MenoèPiù competition proposes a system of new parks, squares, schools and buildings in the new periphery. With the participation of several architects from Italy and the rest of Europe, new urban settings and future architectures mark a strategy for the capital's transformation. This book presents 12 of the best projects, including 5+1AA, Labics, Ricci&Spaini, Actar/Nabito, Gianfriddo, Grafton, ecc.

Roof gardens are enjoying a revival. Landscape architects are now being followed by architects, project developers and owners of roof terraces in discovering the advantages of plants on the roof. In each of these locations, designers took up the challenge of the building, the urban environment above the roof-line or the landscape. Each spot is so different that it had to look for a new definition of the roof garden or roof terrace. They have come up with new architectural concepts using water, stone, wood, metal, glass, trees, plants and grass, created new green spaces or achieved astonishing effects up on the roof.

To continue developing existing building types in an intelligent way is a crucial task in the field of residential building. A deeper understanding of the underlying types is indispensable for the success of the individual design, as well as for ensuring that tried and tested structures can be utilized, repeated, and varied in a wide variety of situations.

For this typology of residential buildings, the authors have developed systematic new presentations of the most innovative types. Each individual volume lays out the possibilities for using and transforming a particular form of residential structure.

The first volume deals with the various types of the courtyard house, which utilizes the courtyard as an intimate outdoor living space. A presentation of the courtyard as a building block of the city is followed by coverage of the complete spectrum of types - cluster, network, carpet, terraces, etc.

The second volume is devoted to the various types of row house, a particularly widespread form of residential structure. A general discussion of the row as organizing principle - the row as urban building block, linear space, ways of handling corners - is followed by the systematic presentation of the different types.

Within each type, variants are distinguished according to how they organize space, their number of floors, etc. The range of possible solutions is presented in uniform ground plans newly drawn to scale.

Explaining in detail the definition and design process for a real self-sufficient architecture in energy, water and food at the lowest possible price, this book aims to promote the establishment of a new model of architecture, called “integrated architectural model.” which is to substantially improve the design of buildings, educate society and to integrate in the architecture the least amount of technological additives. Similarly, buildings can generate the basic food and water capable of ensuring the survival of its occupants. To illustrate this comprehensive architectural model, we analyze five innovative and visionary projects by Luis De Garrido.

The Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia and the technology company HP have developed an international contest with the idea of “self-sufficient city". It is an invitation to reflect on how we will live in the near future in the light of the social, cultural and technological changes in which we are immersed. This publication presents the projects of the 107 finalists between 708 participant proposals. From connected metropolises, eco neighbourhoods, self-sufficient buildings, intelligent homes or any other proposal for a short-, medium or long-term project such as the winning ones: “HURBS” proposed by Sergio Castillo Tello and María Hernández Enríquez from Spain and “WATER FUEL” by Rychiee Espinosa and Seth Mcdowell from the United States.
