About this product

Product Information

F r die Entwicklung von "Landschaft" als Konzept hat keine Stadt eine gr ere Rolle gespielt als Venedig. Wo das Land und die G rten einer heute in ihrer kologie gef hrdeten Lagune abgewonnen werden, erweisen sie sich als Grundlage des Lebens, des Wohnens und der Kultur. Das Buch entwickelt eine Typologie von G rten, die sich durch den vorherrschenden kleinen Ma stab auszeichnen und wesentliche Dimensionen der Landschaftsarchitektur gestalten: privater und ffentlicher Raum, Nutzen und Sch nheit, Freiraum in dichter, historisch ges ttigter Bausubstanz. Aus beinahe hundert Stadtg rten, Stadtpl tzen und H fen, ffentlichen Parks und tempor ren G rten destilliert das Buch Elemente der Gartengestaltung, die sowohl die materiellen Faktoren - r umliche und entwurfliche Gegebenheiten - als auch die Umst nde der sozialen Nutzung betreffen. Die Auswahl umfasst auch das Areal des Arsenale, auf dem der Paradise Garden von Gustafson Porter f r die Biennale 2008 entstanden ist, und die Giardini und ffentlichen G rten, die seit ihrem Entstehen vor 200 Jahren der Stadt als Labor f r ihre zugleich moderne und naturnahe Entwicklung dienen. Die Struktur der Darstellung in neun Kapiteln verbindet historische Entwicklungslinien und Freiraumtypologie. Aus der Perspektive, welchen Beitrag eine erneuerte Gartenkultur f r k nftige Entwicklungen leisten kann, entwirft der Autor, der seit fast 15 Jahren an der Design School der University of Pennsylvania lehrt, neue Wege in der Gartengeschichte.
