Summary:
Sprawl. The word calls to mind a host of troublesome issues such as city flight, runaway suburban development, and the conversion of farmland to soulless housing developments. In "Sprawltown", architectural historian Richard Ingersoll makes the surprising claim that sprawl is an inevitable reality of modern life that should be addressed more thoughtfully and recognized as its own new form of urbanism rather than simply being criticized and condemned. In five chapters, covering topics such as tourism, film, and the automobile, Ingersoll takes the position that any solution to the problems of sprawl—including pressing issues like resource use and energy waste— must take into consideration its undeniable success as a social milieu. No screed against the suburb, this book offers a more sophisticated and nuanced view of the way we think about its rapid development and growth.

Summary:
Christophe Girot has occupied the Chair of Landscape Architecture at the ETH Zurich since the year 2000. Girot's projects are all based on simple geometric and gestural movements. His concept of garden architecture begins with the modelling of the earth surface. The resulting topography is the basis of a restrained plant vocabulary.

Summary:
Tout nouveau moyen de transport ou toute modification apportée à un système existant de mobilité urbaine – l’élargissement des tranchées permettant aux voies ferrées de se relier à un terminus ou à une jonction, l’extension des gares de triage desservant les systèmes de transport métropolitains et de banlieue, la multiplication des bretelles des ponts, des autoroutes surélevées, des rampes d’accès, des parcs de stationnement et même des petites stations-services disséminées sur le territoire – entraîne des mutations dans le paysage urbain. "Jouets et transports" puise, à même la collection du CCA, plus de 75 jouets anciens, livres illustrés, photographies anciennes et brochures pour illustrer deux siècles de transformations urbaines étroitement liées au développement des moyens de transport. // Every new transportation link and every change in systems of urban mobility introduces new infrastructure to the urban landscape: massive cuts enabling railway tracks to converge at a terminal or junction; wide railyards that service suburban and metropolitan transit systems; the proliferation of bridges, ramps, elevated highways, freeway cuts, parking lots, and even service stations. "Toys and Transport" draws from the CCA collection, presenting over 75 objects, among them historic toys, architectural photographs, illustrated books and pamphlets. It covers nearly 200 years of urban transformation brought about by the development of transportation systems.
