Green Roof Systems : A Guide to the Planning, Design and Construction of Building Over Structure

by Susan Weiler (Author), Katrin Scholz-Barth (Author)

Green Roof Systems goes beyond the fashionable green roof movement and provides solid information on building accessible space, often as important public space, over structure. It offers brief coverage of the entire process, including planning and collaboration, and focuses on the technical aspects of these roof systems, their components, and their applications.

OLIN Placemaking

by Laurie Olin (Author), Dennis C. McGlade (Author), Robert J. Bedell (Author), Lucinda R. Sanders (Author), Susan K. Weiler (Author), David A. Rubin (Author)

With increased attention to sustainability and environmental concerns, landscape architects now lead teams of urban planners and architects in developing new outdoor space and reconfiguring existing designs. As the preeminent landscape architecture firm in the United States, Olin is at the forefront of this movement with completed projects across the country and in Europe.

Bio/Matter/Techno/Synthetics

by Franca Trubiano (Editor), Susan Kolber (Editor), Marta Llor (Editor), Maria Jose Fuente (Editor), Amber Farrow (Editor)
Lucinda R. Sanders (Contributor)

The twenty-three papers and five editorials collected in this volume speak to subjects of bio-design, speculative biology, green walls and pavers, design by decay, soilless soil, sentient materials, photogrammetrees, robotics, nanotechnology, thermal architecture and alliesthesia, digital weaving, chemical droplets, and even Frankenstein. More broadly, ideas and questions that animate the two dozen articles collected in B/M/T/S are grounded in the production and representation of emergent ecologies, non-human agency, machine learning, and responsive computation.

Providing comprehensive information for closing material loops and reducing carbon impacts of site construction, this ground-breaking book is an essential resource for landscape architects and engineers to meet the environmental challenges of the 21st Century.

Fresh Water: Design Research for Inland Water Territories

by Mary Pat McGuire, Jessica M. Henson

Fresh Water is a book that addresses regional, territorial, and continental water issues through interdisciplinary design research in landscape architecture. The geographical and hydrosocial context of the major inland (non-coastal) watersheds of the North American continent--the Mississippi, the Great Lakes Basin-St. Lawrence and the Nelson--remains an under-explored field for design research. Major spatial, temporal, biological, and geological manipulations of water bodies, systems, and flows raise critical questions about how to redefine human-hydro relationships and to reverse the deterioration of freshwater systems across the territory.
