Urban environmental landscaping is a very important component of
the city, it can not only add to the aesthetic feeling of the city,
but also have the effect of keeping the connection and relationship
between humans and nature. This book selects a vast range of
excellent urban landscape design projects from all over the world,
and presents these masterpieces in four categories: public park
design, public plaza design, waterfront public open space design
and urban street design. For each part, we selected the most
striking cases with the newest design standards to showcase
spectacular landscape design.
After decades of being banished from residential areas, water is
now becoming an increasingly significant feature in urban design.
Whether it is the integration of natural water courses into the
built environment, rainwater management, the incorporation of water
elements in urban areas for climatic purposes or the creation of
oases of tranquility or drama such as pools or fountains - all
these aspects are not only encountering renewed interest among
architects and urban planners, but they are also greeted with
appreciation by the general public. This book reveals the wide
variety of possibilities for using water as a creative element in
the city, in art, in the landscape and architecture. The works are
organized in seven categories and encompass large-scale
masterplans, urban plazas and parks, river restaurations but also
interior design schemes and art objects. Amongst the works
documented are the landscape design for Dubai Business Park, a
river restauration in Bishan Park in Singapore, landscaping for a
new town in Tianjin, China, the schemes for Telecom Park, Taipei
and Vuores Central Park in Tampere, Finland, and the design for
Civic Square Seattle. Herbert Dreiseitl, born in 1955, is a
sculptor, water artist and landscape architect. After his studies,
he set up his office, Atelier Dreiseitl, in UEberlingen on Lake
Constance in 1980. He has realised numerous projects in the fields
of stormwater management, water art and landscape architecture. He
is active in lecturing worldwide and his work is widely published.
Dieter Grau, born in 1963, gardener and landscape architect, has
been working for the Atelier Dreiseitl since 1994. In 1996 he
became head of the landscape architecture department there. He is
involved in planning projects around the world and lectures
frequently.
Water has been an important topic in architecture and urban
planning for years. The revitalization of the waterfront has been a
prevalent trend in cities around the world. On the other hand,
architecture also had to respond to the threat of floods. The theme
of Building with Water is the use of water in architecture. It
presents buildings that explicitly refer to water in their design
and form. It establishes a typology of building by the water:
residential structures, recreation facilities, industry and
infrastructure, buildings for culture and art. The various design
parameters are explored in four essays. Subsequently, twenty-two
international projects are presented, organized according to their
locations by a river, a lake or the sea. The authors' concern is
not to show luxurious buildings in privileged locations but rather
presenting projects that seriously grapple with the main criterion
of the location-namely, water-in an ecologically sustainable way
and respond to it with their design. Wasser ist seit Jahren ein
wichtiges Thema in Architektur und Stadtebau. "Building with Water"
thematisiert die Verarbeitung von Wasser im architektonischen
Entwurf; es werden Bauten vorgestellt, die sich in ihrer Gestaltung
und Form ausdrucklich auf Wasser beziehen. Eine Typologie des
Bauens am Wasser wird erstellt: Wohnbauten, Verkehrs- und
Industriebauten, Bauten fur Kultur und Freizeit. Ebenso werden
einleitend klassische Beispiele des Bauens am/im/auf dem Wasser
gezeigt, wie etwa Chateau de Chenonceaux an der Loire, Falling
Water in Pennsylvania von Frank Lloyd Wright oder das Salk
Institute in La Jolla,Kalifornien, von Louis I. Kahn. Geordnet nach
ihren Standorten am Fluss, See oder Meer, werden dann etwa 20
internationale Projekte vorgestellt. Es geht den Autoren nicht
darum, luxurioese Bauten an privilegierten Platzen zu zeigen,
sondern Projekte darzustellen, deren Entwurf sich ernsthaft und
oekologisch vertraglich mit dem Hauptkriterium des Standortes -
namlich Wasser - auseinandersetzt und sich gestalterisch darauf
bezieht
