LAF - Landscape Architecture Frontiers

Featuring “Hyper Density, Hyper Landscape — Trinity Riverfront Design in Dallas, Texas"
Vol. 4, No. 10 “High-density Mixed-use Cities”
Published in April 2016 by Higher Education Press

Landscape Architecture Frontiers, launched in February 2013, is a bimonthly journal co-published by Higher Education Press and Peking University and edited by College of Architecture and Landscape Architecture of Peking University. It is administered by Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China. Professor Yu Kongjian is the Editor-in-Chief. 

Landscape is a complex made up of land and objects on it, and a system developed by interaction between nature and human-beings. Landscape architecture is a discipline covering theories, approaches, techniques and arts concerning analysis, changes and management of landscape. LAF will put its focus on the intersecting spheres of academic research and design practice in landscape architecture, discussing new opinions, theories and approaches to address environmental and ecological issues through landscape architecture; advocating new aesthetics and new culture which benefit the beauty of China and the world by introducing and promoting most recent practice of landscape architecture. It acts as a bridge connecting research and social needs, science and art, leading the development of the discipline. Our audience includes researchers and professional architects, faculties and students, policy makers in related fields and people who work on the environmental constructions in both urban and rural areas.

IABR 2014: Urban by Nature

Published in 2014 by the International Architecture Biennial
Rotterdam Catalog

The International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam (IABR) was founded in 2001 on the conviction that architecture and especially urban planning are of great social importance. Since 2004, when George Brugmans became its director, the IABR therefore mainly focuses on the future of the city where, in a couple of decades, nearly 80 percent of the world’s population will produce more than 90 percent of our wealth—and this will have to be done sustainably.

In its multiyear policy plan 2017-2020: Towards a Resilient City, the IABR expressly places the future of the city in the context of climate change and increasing social inequality. In any way it can, the IABR wants to contribute to the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations and the achievement of the objectives set out in the Paris Agreement on Climate Change. That means well-designed, socially inclusive, resilient cities are of key importance. We can only solve the climate problems if we solve them in the cities first. And to achieve this, good design is crucial.

Topos 84: Urban Strategies

Featuring "Detroit Future City: Productive Landscape and New Urban Ecologies" by Chris Reed
Published by Urban Strategies in October 2013

Urban planning is not a linear process. Many interests, above all financial ones, determine the development of cities. Sometimes planning is legitimised by official designations, sometimes it is in opposition to the needs of citizens. Strategic planning considers all relevant factors in the social and economic fabric of the city as well as its ecology. Controlling a city’s growth is a major challenge, as demonstrated by various examples in this issue: Rio de Janeiro as the host of two major sports events, Detroit as a city of transformation and Kiruna, a mining city which is due to be relocated.

Published in December 2011
Vol. 3

"Aqua-Cultures is an innovative urban park that integrates recreation, culture, water treatment, biodiversity, and cultivation. The park reworks and re-imagines conventional water systems as the basis for new and sustainable forms of city-life—all under the lush canopies of a diverse sub-tropical forest. In doing so, Aqua-Cultures hybridizes traditional park activities with productive infrastructures and landscapes, creating a richly diverse urban and ecological surface with varying intensities of activity — multiple pockets of energy that work to clean the environment and sustain intense social use."

We endeavour to promote landscape architecture and increase the public awareness of the profession. World Landscape Architecture seeks to work with landscape architects, allied professionals and the landscape industry to improve the profession across

HDM 33: Design Practices Now, Vol. II: Landscape Architecture and Urban Design

Featuring "Landscape Architectural Practice Now," interview with Chris Reed
Published in Fall/Winter 2010-2011

What are the pressing issues and problems in the work lives of contemporary landscape archite cts, urban designers, and architects? What supports and what obstructs their efforts to help create outstanding buildings and places? What current conditions for practice are novel, and how should they be understood and managed? What are ideal structures for the collaborations of designers with owners and builders, and with other professionals, such as engineers, fabricators, and ecological scientists? What can be learned from the variations in design practices across regions, nations, and continents? How are new digital technologies affecting design practice? 

In this final volume on design practice, designers from around the world address these questions and offer images of design details of their work. In addition, scholar/critics focus on particular issues in analytic detail. The main focus here is on landscape architecture and urban design.

Center 14: On Landscape Urbanism

Featuring "Landscape Urbanism Practices" by Chris Reed
Edited by Dean Almy
Published on April 1, 2007 by The Center for American Architecture and Design
359 pages

The theme of this volume is Landscape Urbanism with the agenda of linking emergent theories of Landscape Urbanism with its contemporary practice. While a few recent symposiums and articles have addressed components of the subject, the underlying theoretical trajectory of this emergent field has still not been codified in an accessible way. The publication of Volume 14 of CENTER will fill this void with the inclusion of a reprint series of historically significant texts, combined with original articles by noted authors and emerging practitioners, and documentation of the Landscape Urbanism Charrette and Symposium held at The University of Texas at Austin School of Architecture in 2002.

30 60 90 09: Regarding Public Space

Featuring "Performance Practices" by Chris Reed 
Edited by Cecilia Benites, Clare Lyster, Emily Abruzzo, Alexander Briseno, Joanthan D. Solomon
Published on December 1, 2005 by Princeton Architectural Press
208 pages

The journal 306090 continues to garner acclaim throughout the architecture and design world as an essential forum for issues of architectural practice and theory. Its role as a voice for young architects, designers, and academics is reinforced by its knack for approaching broad topics from unique perspectives and synthesizing multiple points of view.

306090 09: Regarding Public Space explores the conception, production, and operation of contemporary public space in the city from the vantage of its design, development, construction, and use. Rather than dwell on what public space is, 306090's guest editors identify it as the material manifestation of intersecting forces (economics, program, sustainable land-use) whose formation involves a complex set of manipulations in both physical space and managerial aptitude. The articles in this volume, by contributors from cities across the globe, test the ways in which we articulate the built environment to make public space, interrogating it through examples from practice and theoretical developments alike.
