In the context of rapidly changing cities and towns, infrastructure is experiencing a paradigm shift where multiple-use programming and the integration of latent ecologies is a primary consideration. Defining contemporary infrastructure requires a multi-disciplinary team of landscape architects, engineers, architects and planners to fully realize the benefits to our cultural and natural systems. This book examines the potential of landscape as infrastructure via essays by notable authors and supporting case studies by SWA landscape architects and urban designers, among them the technologically innovative roof domes for Renzo Piano’s California Academy of Science in San Francisco, the restoration of the Buffalo Bayou in Houston, and several master plans for ecological corridors in China and Korea. Other projects develop smart re-use concepts for railroad tracks that no longer serve their original purpose, such as Kyung-Chun railway in Seoul or Katy Trail in Dallas. All case studies are described extensively with technical diagrams and plans for repositioning infrastructure as a viable medium for addressing issues of ecology, transit, urbanism, performance, and habitat.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: CHItem Height: 300mmItem Length: 230mmItem Weight: 1317gAuthor: Ying-Yu Hung, Gerdo Aquino, Charles Waldheim, Julia Czerniak, Adriaan Geuze, Matthew Skjonsberg, Alexander Robinson, Pierre BélangerContributor: The Infrastructure Research Initiative at SWA (Edited by)Genre: Architecture & AntiquesTopic: Science Nature & Math, Technology & EngineeringType: DesignRelease Year: 2013 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
