Despite its association with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, critics argue that the project will be highly detrimental to existing cities, their inhabitants and the natural environment. Using a normative framework derived from the UN goals, this paper examines whether the design of Phase One of the Administrative Capital City (2015–2020) delivers on its grand narratives and commitments. It reveals that the project fails to meet many of its aspirations and is likely to compound Egypt’s water supply issues, conflict with fragile desert environments, be vehicular-dependent, isolate everyday Cairenes from Egypt’s governance institutions and entrench the power of an autocratic leader. As such, the new capital presents a problematic model of urban development for dealing with Cairo’s environmental and societal issues, and for broadly accommodating Africa’s rapidly urbanizing population.","PeriodicalId":43606,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Landscape Architecture","volume":"15 1","pages":"8 - 19"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87239757","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They explored the aesthetic creation of art through the eyes of philosopher Nick Zangwill. The discussion remained theoretical, so this paper builds on their work by applying Aesthetic Creation Theory (ACT) to a specific landscape design proposal, thereby testing its implications for the design process. The proposed design pays tribute to a disappearing glacier in a National Park in New Zealand by using aesthetic experience to engage with the loss itself. The described phases of Insight, Intention and Action guide the development of an explicit and grounded rationale for aesthetic decision making. The case confirms the legitimacy of applying aesthetic theory to landscape architecture, but also reveals its vulnerabilities. It offers a means to reflect on and discuss the relationship between theory and practice.","PeriodicalId":43606,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Landscape Architecture","volume":"53 1","pages":"52 - 63"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80393494","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These efforts have been gradually strengthened in France throughout the twentieth century. The evolution of landscape practices in this country has contributed to this, transforming the art of the garden into a practice indispensable to urban design, as it contributes to a better understanding of the environmental dynamics inherent to cities. The book Urbanisme et biodiversité: Vers un paysage vivant structurant le projet urbain (Urbanism and Biodiversity: Towards a Living Landscape Structuring the Urban Project) looks at the results of this evolution at the beginning of the twenty-first century. The book is the result of a collaboration of nearly fifty scientists and practitioners who explored the points of convergence between a societal demand for nature in cities, a sense of environmental and climatic urgency, and scientific and technical knowledge in the fields of urban planning, ecological engineering, architecture and landscape design. The landscape is approached here as a natural and anthropogenic concept, but above all as a ‘living’ entity, in order to examine the convergences mentioned above. The living landscape legitimizes ecological processes and biodiversity, which are then placed at the heart of the planning and design process. The objectives of the book are therefore: 1) to contribute to the creation and preservation of urban ecosystems; 2) to give a legitimate place to the natural, ‘non-built’ environment in cities; and 3) to allow the emergence of a ‘biodiverse urbanism’ thanks to specific design, planning and construction processes. In the French context, these processes are still struggling to find their place for several reasons. On the one hand, there is sometimes a gap between the discourse and actions of politicians and other stakeholders from the public and private sectors to implement such processes. On the other, the lack of scientific, technical and methodological knowledge about the pragmatical development of ecosystems in urban settings contributes to a need for skills that are necessary to develop biodiversity-friendly urban projects. The work of Philippe Clergeau and his various co-authors responds to this last need, and contributes to the renewal of knowledge on biodiversity, landscape and urbanism in the French context. The book is divided into five distinct parts, themselves divided into chapters. The first part deals with the different definitions and issues related to ‘biodiverse urbanism’. It highlights concepts from the disciplines of ecology, landscape, sociology and even philosophy, and remains essentially conceptual and theoretical. The next two parts, on the other hand, are more operational in nature, and focus more on the design and planning processes related to biodiversity and landscape, first at the local level and then on a larger scale. At the local scale, the questions mainly addres","PeriodicalId":43606,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Landscape Architecture","volume":"76 1","pages":"92 - 93"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80544474","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The chocolate bar of Georges Descombes. The site-responsive mowing regimes of Martí Franch or Liska Chan’s weaving of tall prairie grass. The axonometrics of Jean CanneelClaes. Each new way of drawing or modelling or engaging with the medium of landscape stimulates new ways of configuring space, of thinking about the experience of place and natural processes. McHarg unpacked and analysed landscape in layers to understand complex natural systems. For Canneel-Claes, the axonometric enabled a synoptic view of a garden that showed how its elements worked together. Mosbach’s observation of mould prompted consideration of how to work with dynamic processes in the gardens of the Louvre Lens. Halprin attempted to bridge the distance between representation and human experience through notations that described movement through a space. Drawings, models, installations each hold a question, an inquiry explored through a process of making and refined in response to a physical artifact; drawing becomes thinking rather than illustrating. Notable theorists such James Corner, Catherine Dee and Elizabeth Meyer have each linked shifts in methods of drawing or making to innovation in landscape design practice. James Corner argues that drawing holds the possibility of ‘forming a field of revelation, prompting one to figure previously unforeseen landscapes of a richer and more meaningful dimension’.1 Catherine Dee, the founding editor of both JoLA and the visual methods section ‘Thinking Eye’, observes that poetic-critical drawings, made through sustained observation, are rich in thinking, and redolent with evocation. Attentive to the transience of landscape, such drawings enable the evolution of landscape understandings and are simultaneously propositional.2 Meyer makes a similar connection between innovation in methods of site analysis and new disciplinary questions, noting that an increased interest in phenomenology, feminist critique and Kamni Gill Imke van Hellemondt Sonia Keravel Anaïs Leger-Smith Bianca Maria Rinaldi Usue Ruiz Arana Janike Kampevold Larsen Ursula Wieser Benedetti","PeriodicalId":43606,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Landscape Architecture","volume":"54 1","pages":"4 - 7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81252800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since its creation in the Ensanche Plan, all the proposals for Les Glòries were aimed at transforming this site into the centre of Barcelona. Although Les Glòries has been a disruptive urban element for most of its history, every time urban planners have sought to redefine its function it has been conceived as a unifying urban element.

Through a paradigmatic case study of Rio de Janeiro, this article discusses the modern system of green spaces designed by Burle Marx in which the rediscovery of an elevated quality of nature, one that recalls the native ecology and the essence of the urban environment, plays a decisive role in introducing the invention of a Brazilian modern landscape. By focusing on the idea of the city understood as a distinct form of landscape, Burle Marx’s Cidade Parque is ultimately the expression of a modern system of creative principles as they apply and adapt to nature and to the individual. This article therefore aims to put forth an alternative reading of Burle Marx’s work, starting at the metropolitan scale where a modern consistent continuum of public spaces was created, beginning with a rediscovery of the virgin forest.","PeriodicalId":43606,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Landscape Architecture","volume":"11 1","pages":"74 - 89"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84220925","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first project_designed by the group composed of MRío and WEST 8_was a staged space based on a rereading of several sites by the evocation of a series of symbolic figures in the city and territory. The second, by the Ecologistas en Acción group, utilized a process of ‘naturalization’ of the Manzanares to bring about a formless configuration of the river. Today, Madrid Río Park is the expres sion of the two very different projects, created ten years apart, enacting two strategies, each with its own very different language and aesthetic outcome; such is the profound complexity of the urban public space created, that the park has become a major case study.
