Summary:
Le paysagisme bénéficie aujourd'hui d'un regain d'intérêt et sucite des attentes iportantes. Il incarne notamment l'espoir de réunir le caractère fonctionnel d'une étude à sa portée artistique et à sa dimension sensible. On attend de lui qu'il satisfasse le grand public tout en conservant sa crédibilité conceptuelle. Enfin, le paysagisme doit faire face aux exigences de l'intégration sociale. Les travaux présentés dans cet ouvrage, réalisés par des paysagistes originaires de huit pays, illustrent la grande diversité du paysage contemporain en Europe. Aux interventions classiques - jardins, cours, places et parcs - s'ajoutent des projets qui témoignent de la collaboration avec d'autres disciplines, des vastes aménagements destinés aux nouveaux transports jusqu'à la reconversion de friches industrielles, en passant par l'art de la vidéo et, naturellement, la confrontation incessante et fructueuse avec l'architecture. L'ouvrage de Thies Schröder montre que nous nous trouvons à un moment clé de l'histoire du paysagisme européen et témoigne peut-être d'une nouvelle approche : la justesse historique et environnementale d'un aménagement fait progressivement place à la simple réalité des modes de vie urbain, avec leur impact direct sur la nature. Supports de fonctionnalités concrètes et de visions abstraites, les paysages et les jardins servent de relai entre la nature et l'art.

Summary:
Today, landscape architecture often stands at the centre of attention – perhaps more frequently than is desirable for its own sake? Designing with “nature”, whether in urban spaces or in company grounds, at horticultural shows or in “temporary gardens” generates an attractive and immediate emotional impact.

Summary:
Today, landscape architecture often stands at the centre of attention – perhaps more frequently than is desirable for its own sake? Designing with “nature”, whether in urban spaces or in company grounds, at horticultural shows or in “temporary gardens” generates an attractive and immediate emotional impact. It is not just architects and artists who incorporate landscape features in their designs today, but also local authorities and well-known companies wishing to promote an image of ecological responsibility combined with innovative design. The result is a kind of landscape-based event culture with popular appeal. “Event Landscape?” describes the current state of this wide-sweeping development. A wide array of recent landscape designs with detailed information are presented, revealing how landscape architecture can play a part in solving major issues of public space: the sustainable renewal of towns, the transformation of farmland into new cultural landscapes, the role of historic gardens and parks.

Summary:
Büro Kiefer was founded in Berlin in 1989. A mathematical and aesthetical logic lies at the basis of every design. In recombing both, landscape design answers to the ever growing job responsabilities : architecture, urban development and region development oriente the landscape. Linked up with this challenge, but also with the cultural tradition of garden art, Büro Kiefer creates new hybrid from town and landscape. Their starting point is a contemporary undestanding of space. On the basis of an analysis of the space, the division of influences and ideas an recombining them, Büro Kiefer creates images referring to the future. Photography by Hans Joosten.
