Shannon, Kelly - The Landscape of Contemporary Infrastructure.

Rotterdam : nai010 Publishers, 2010 Hardcover. 272 pp. English text. Condition : as new. Mailorder only - Alleen verzending mogelijk. Book condition : as new. - The design of infrastructural networks-that is, roads, railways and any system that enables flow within a structure such as a city-is among urban design's foremost tasks. Around the globe, the awareness of enhanced infrastructure fluidity as a catalyst for economic development is rising. The Landscape of Contemporary Infrastructure investigates how infrastructure design determines the organization and flow of the inhabited landscape-as an agency of enhanced mobility, as a design feature contributing to the character of a city and as a sound theoretical approach to a positive experience of collective space. These issues are explored in four chapters that catalogue these approaches, each chapter buttressed with key projects from the world's most important designers in this field, including Arata Isozaki, Paul Andreu, Xaveer De Geyter, Jean Nouvel and Ricardo Bofill. The authors demonstrate how the creative potential of architecture, landscape architecture and urban design is essential to the effective flow of infrastructural networks. ISBN 9789056627201.
