Paperback. Condizione: New. Enmeshed in Hong Kong's densely woven urban fabric, wedged between its towering mixed-use complexes and perched along its steep hillsides, sits a network of more than 500 miniature public parks comprising the smallest unit of the city's public open space network. Though plentiful, these so-called Sitting-out Areas - referred to locally as ???? (literally: a "three-cornered shit pit") - have never been considered in terms of the collective resource they have the potential to be. This book presents a series of critical essays revealing the city's Sitting-out Areas in relation to Hong Kong's planning histories and shifting terrains, while also tracking how these spatial fragments have been shaped by concepts of publicness, accessibility and regulation. The second half of the book presents 44 richly illustrated case studies revealing the variety and idiosyncrasies of Hong Kong's smallest open spaces. Ultimately, the book argues that we can understand the high-density city not only through its buildings, but through the character and potency of its interstitial landscapes.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. In its history of over a hundred of years, landscape architecture has developed many ideas, concepts, methods, and models. In this issue, LA Frontiers focuses on prototype studies by examining those traceable and repeatable landscape theories, methodologies, and pedagogies, and introducing the knowledge from allied disciplines to inspire knowledge innovation, with a particular highlight on the prototypes adaptive to future uncertainties. It hopes to extend the disciplinary horizon and enrich the fruition of disciplinary growth, and to provide designers and scholars with prospective design thoughts and more resilient working methods.This issue explores the following aspects: First, prototyping process, or test planning process, which is characterised for the test-planning-design process and has been widely applied in the fields of computer sciences and industrial design but still being less explored in landscape architecture. This process emphasises the multi-disciplinary collaboration and test procedure before design, which would improve the communication efficiency among professionals from different fields. Second, reflection and innovation on classic theories and models in landscape planning and design, such as Ian McHarg's Map Overlay and Carl Steinitz's Six Steps model. Third, research-based design, including design research or competitions with clear goals and boundary conditions which help designers comprehend the essence and implications of design and encourage disciplinary innovation. And fourth, inductive and empirical pedagogies to inspire forward-looking design ideas and working methods.…

Hardback. Condizione: Good. How China?s borderlands transformed politically and culturally throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. China?s land borders, shared with fourteen other nations, are the world?s longest. Like all borders, they are not just lines on a map but also spaces whose histories and futures are defined by their frontier status. An ambitious appraisal of China?s borderlands, Shifting Sands addresses the full scope and importance of these regions, illustrating their transformation from imperial backwaters to hotbeds of resource exploitation and human development in the age of neoliberal globalization. Xiaoxuan Lu brings to bear an original combination of archival research, fieldwork, cartography, and landscape analysis, broadening our understanding of the political economy and cultural changes in China?s borderlands in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. While conventional wisdom looks to the era of Deng Xiaoping for China?s ?opening,? Lu shows the integration of China?s borderlands into national and international networks from Sun Yat-sen onward. Yet, while the state has left a firm imprint on the borderlands, they were hardly created by China alone. As the Chinese case demonstrates, all borderlands are transnational, their physical and socioeconomic landscapes shaped by multidirectional flows of materials, ideas, and people.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Enmeshed in Hong Kong's densely woven urban fabric, wedged between its towering mixed-use complexes and perched along its steep hillsides, sits a network of more than 500 miniature public parks comprising the smallest unit of the city's public open space network. Though plentiful, these so-called Sitting-out Areas - referred to locally as (literally: a 'three-cornered shit pit') - have never been considered in terms of the collective resource they have the potential to be. This book presents a series of critical essays revealing the city's Sitting-out Areas in relation to Hong Kong's planning histories and shifting terrains, while also tracking how these spatial fragments have been shaped by concepts of publicness, accessibility and regulation. The second half of the book presents 44 richly illustrated case studies revealing the variety and idiosyncrasies of Hong Kong's smallest open spaces. Ultimately, the book argues that we can understand the high-density city not only through its buildings, but through the character and potency of its interstitial landscapes.; Im dichten Stadtgefüge Hongkongs, entlang steiler Hänge und eingekeilt zwischen hoch aufragenden Wohn- und Bürohochhäusern, existiert ein Netzwerk von mehr als 500 öffentlichen Miniparks. Diese Kleinsteinheiten des städtischen Freiraums, als Sitting-out Areas oder im lokalen Sprachgebrauch auch als ('dreieckige Scheißgruben') bezeichnet, wurden bislang kaum als kollektive Ressource betrachtet. Vor dem Hintergrund von Hongkongs Stadtplanungsgeschichte und dem sich ständig verändernden Grund und Boden setzen sich die Autor\*innen kritisch mit den Sitting-out Areas auseinander. Sie erläutern, wie diese räumlichen Fragmente durch Konzepte der Öffentlichkeit, Zugänglichkeit und Regulierung entstanden sind. Daneben illustrieren sie in 44 reich bebilderten Fallstudien die Vielfalt und Eigenarten von Hongkongs Mini-Freiräumen - und zeigen, wie sich hochverdichtete Städte nicht nur über ihre Gebäude erfassen lassen, sondern auch über den Charakter und die Kraft ihrer Zwischenräume.…
