    Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. A celebration of park systems as central to communities around the world. The creation of park systems is a historically proven method to stabilize communities and cultivate healthy ecological habitats in country dwellings as well as in dense urban areas. Park systems ensure clean soil, water, and air for all. Moreover, they offer intergenerational and inclusive recreational opportunities along ecological corridors. Between 1900 and 1950, civic design-a practice in urban and landscape planning explicitly oriented towards the common good-experienced a heyday. Park systems were successfully used as green armatures hosting public facilities such as playgrounds, schools, administrative buildings, hospitals, and gardens. Living Cities offers a chronological survey of civic design based on more than thirty park systems on five continents. The examples range from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's Park an der Ilm in Weimar (1778) and John Nash's Regent Street in London (1806) to Chicago's park system (1850), Albert Bodmer and Maurice Braillard's plans for Geneva (1936), and Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin Valley (1947), as well as to contemporary and future projects in Addis Ababa, Madrid, Medellin, New York, and Seoul. This book demonstrates the ecological and social impact of park systems and highlights the diverse challenges that communities face when implementing such projects. At the same time, it encourages a reevaluation of civic design as an intergenerational practice of urban design. AUTHOR: Matthew Skjonsberg is a lecturer on the MAS in Urban and Territorial Design program at EPFL in Lausanne and the director of Praxis Institute, a Swiss-based trans-disciplinary experimental research initiative.

    Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Die Schaffung von Parksystemen ist eine historisch bewährte Methode, um stabile und ökologisch gesunde Lebensräume für Menschen ebenso wie für die lokale Flora und Fauna zu erhalten. Dies kann sowohl in Form von ausgedehnten Gebieten im ländlichen Raum wie dem Schweizerischen Nationalpark im Unterengadin geschehen als auch durch Grünanlagen in Städten wie den New Yorker Central Park. Parksysteme gewährleisten saubere Böden, sauberes Wasser und saubere Luft für alle. Gleichzeitig bieten sie generationsübergreifende und inklusive Möglichkeiten zur Freizeitgestaltung entlang ökologischer Korridore. Zwischen 1900 und 1950 erlebte das sogenannte Civic Design, die ausdrücklich am Gemeinwohl orientierte Stadt- und Landschaftsplanung, eine Blütezeit. Parksysteme wurden erfolgreich als «grüne Armaturen» eingesetzt, die öffentliche Einrichtungen wie Spielplätze, Schulen, Verwaltungsgebäude, Spitäler oder Gartenanlagen beherbergen. Living Cities bietet einen chronologischen Überblick des Civic Design anhand von mehr als 30 Parksystemen auf fünf Kontinenten.

Living Cities offers a chronological survey of civic design based on more than thirty park systems on five continents. The examples range from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's Park an der Ilm in Weimar (1778) and John Nash's Regent Street in London (1806) to Chicago's park system (1850), Albert Bodmer and Maurice Braillard's plans for Geneva (1936), and Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin Valley (1947), as well as to contemporary and future projects in Addis Ababa, Madrid, Medellin, New York, and Seoul. This book demonstrates the ecological and social impact of park systems and highlights the diverse challenges that communities face when implementing such projects. At the same time, it encourages a reevaluation of civic design as an intergenerational practice of urban design.
