Présentation de l'éditeur :
The use of innovative new materials is an important trend in
landscape architecture today. These materials include biodegradable
geotextiles, super-absorbent polymers, and plants that react to
changing soil conditions. Water is a major subject. This book presents
the available materials and technologies in the context of practical
applications, some of them experimental, some of them mature.
Cooperation with disciplines such as engineering, architecture and
art, environmental technology, town planning, biology, and material
research often results in spectacular designs. The sample projects are
chosen from six European countries, the United States and Canada,
Israel, Japan, China, and Australia. They include the High Line urban
reconstruction project in New York City by James Corner/Field
Operation, the Vertical Garden by GROSS.MAX with Mark Dion in London,
and the landscape architecture surrounding Munich’s Allianz Arena by
Vogt Landschaftsarchitekten.
