Urban Design and Architecture is a journey through the architectural events of the 20th century also offering an exciting documentation of the interrelation of people, time and architecture. There's something magical about some cities. They are artificial worlds that have nevertheless grown like organic entities over centuries. Here futuristic experimental buildings contrast with historical monuments, magnificent spectacle is found alongside minimalist elegance - and everywhere in between, people. Our major cities are condensed cultural histories that provide evidence of the changing rhythms of life of both the past and the present day. This richly illustrated compendium contains essays about styles, buildings, gardens and parks, along with itineraries through the cities that best showcase the architectural developments in urban planning of the past century. There are also short biographies of the most important architects who have shaped the 20th century with their creations.

Urban design has recently undergone a considerable transformation with a significant increase in the variety of resources employed by landscape architects and urban planners when it comes to planning public open spaces, especially when concepts such as sustainability and ecology have to be taken increasingly into account. Urban Eco Parks represents a collection of projects selected for their clear intention to show the greatest respect for Nature, places to take a “breather” or just to relax and take a pleasant stroll.

Hundreds of benches, rails, parterres, street lamps, posts, footpaths and bridges, fountains and spatial organizers ? This exhaustive volume contains all of the elements that go into the design of urban space. All elements in this volume were customdesigned for specific urban projects; and all of them are explained from the drawing board up: from the original sketches and lists of materials, to the fi nished product in its setting. This is the most thorough volume of its kind available and contains material that all urban design professionals must be familiar with.

At its best the contribution urban furniture can make to daily life in a city is hugely enriching. Apart from the many functions it performs urban furniture make streets and public spaces more aesthetically interesting and pleasing. This book shows how this can be achieved and the ways in which innovative designs and their contexts form a synergy. Seating, lighting, communication, sanitation, walls, floors, spaces for play, meeting and relaxation are just a few of the topic areas and landscape elements addressed in this informative and exquisitely illustrated volume.

From the subject of contemporary landscape design in China, the book of 'Contemporary Architecture in China - Urban Landscapes' selects 28 outstanding landscape projects, ranging from residences, parks, squares etc. the abundance and gorgeousness constitute the contemporary design world.

Through comprehensive presentation of pictures, detailed analysis of technical drawings and text descriptions, this book fully reveals the panorama of contemporary landscapes in China and highlights the specific features of Chinese landscape, which opens a window for design exchange among landscape designers home and abroad. With a unique perspective and rich contents, the book will bring inspiration for landscape designers.

Acting as a mirror of the fears and anxieties of the modern individual faced with society's transformations, the city gives shape to the ideal of progress, as well as to the frustrations when this ideal is not realized. Equally problematic and paradoxical, the literary image of the metropolis gravitates between idealisation and demonisation, as demonstrated by the modern novel from the 19th century to the present. In a trajectory that follows not only the topographic and social changes undergone by the city, but also the succession of narrative models that reflect them, this book proposes a historical and critical revision of the literary image of Barcelona, constructed and re-elaborated over the past 150 years.

This is a superbly illustrated exploration of the latest trends and innovations in creating fun, safe, and educational playgrounds. Children's playgrounds form an integral part of the modern urban landscape, providing safe spaces for children to play, learn, and interrelate with each other. But getting the mix between adventure, education, safety, and aesthetics can be challenging. Filled with full-colour photographs, illustrations, and detailed plans, "Playground Spaces" examines a number of innovative solutions created by architects and designers from across the globe.

This monograph discusses the role that ruins play in urban centers in terms of their meaning, testimony, and value, and the opportunities they provide. After an outline of historical and contemporary of approaches, with a special analysis of British and Italian approaches, Elisa Pilia puts forward a methodology for the inves­tigation of the strategic values of such ar­tifacts, and ideas for their potential con­tribution to a sustainable requalification of historic urban cores. The protocol is tested on the historical center of Cagliari, a mid­sized port city on the south­ern coast of the island of Sardinia, Italy, where the remains left by aerial bombardment during the Second World War are still a dramatic part of the controversial European debate on how to reuse ruins.

В монографии анализируется роль руин в современных городах с точки зрения их смыслового наполнения, признания историческим свидетельством и ценностью, а также возможностей, которые они в себе хранят. Автор книги Элиза Пилиа предлагает читателям обзор исторических и современных подходов к исследованию темы городских руин, особенно выделяя британский и итальянский подходы, а затем выдвигает методологию исследования объектов, имеющих стратегическое значение и предлагает идеи касательно использования их потенциала для бережного преобразования исторических районов городов. Эти предложения воплощаются в жизнь в историческом центре Кальяри, портового города на южном побережье острова Сардиния (Италия), где разрушенные здания, оставленные бомбардировками времен Второй мировой войны, по-прежнему являются предметом споров о том, как сегодня следует обходиться с руинами.
