Naturalna przyroda otaczająca osiedla mieszkalne i zieleń komponowana występująca na ich obszarach, ma dla człowieka znaczenie ogromne - nie do przecenienia. Większość ludzi odbiera zieleń jako stały element środowiska, w którym żyje, co równoznaczne jest z możliwością i potrzebą korzystania z jej walorów. Czynnością naturalną dla wielu ludzi są m.in. spacery w parku miejskim czy grzybobrania w lasach, a także zabawa z dziećmi i odpoczynek w cieniu korony drzewa. Najważniejsze dla człowieka jest utrzymanie równowagi między potrzebami osobistymi i ochroną miejsca jego życia - środowiska przyrodniczego i krajobrazu kulturowego.
Dostępność:na zamowienie Vertical gardens are an exciting means of bringing life and greenery to a bleak courtyard, a grey city street or a cold modern building. This is the first book to present a collection of the most important examples of this emerging trend. Those who create vertical gardens apply the principles of hydroponics (a technique of growing plants in water containing dissolved nutrients) and use ingenious framing systems that allow luxuriant plant life to colonize the exteriors of buildings.
This collection of outstanding projects for public spaces is an excellent overview of current trends in urban planning; new forms of social existence have led to an increased interest in the definition of urban space. Our cities have already crossed the dividing line between space to inhabit and habitable space and, at present, it is difficult to conceive of a good urban development plan without an equally good plan of the public space involved.
Dostępność:na zamowienie What is urbanity? How and where can it be experienced today and in what way does it condition our perception of the city? And which role does art play in the current discussions about the urbane? Through theoretical analyses and practical suggestions, this book explores the issue of how urban potentials can be discovered and exploited.
Urban design involves the arrangement, appearance and functionality of towns and cities, with a particular focus on public spaces such as parks, squares and gardens as well as infrastructure and privately owned spaces. The design of these public spaces has become increasingly important to the long-term development and well-being of communities, and can provide towns and cities with a unique identity.
Landscaping is the design of open spaces, using both live and inert elements to transform and order nature. However, the landscaping of residential gardens and areas can address different criteria to that of their larger, public counterparts. Ideas such as privacy and concepts that take the family into account prevail over other considerations. It is as if the garden becomes another room of the house, lived in and used on a daily basis.This book presents more than 30 examples of urban garden designs by Ignasi and Xavier Bisbe (Arboretum).
Terraces and balconies have always been essential architectural features - they are effectively the continuation of a dwelling outdoors. Terraces are mostly related directly to the landscape surrounding a building. They can frame a view - for instance, through canopies or side walls - they can imitate particular landscape elements on their own more human scale, or they can enable the landscape to be perceived and experienced in a different way.
