Amsterdam Techne Press / Blauwdruk 2008 Softcover, 319pp., 17x24cm., illustr. in colour and b/w., in good condition (covers with some traces of use and a bit soiled, first 60pp with multiple neat underlinings in fluo marker, else fine). ISBN 9789085940210. 'Transforming with Water' brings together the papers presented at the 45th World Congress of the International Federation of Landscape Architects (IFLA), held in Apeldoorn from 30 June to 3 July 2008. The publication brings together landscape architects, urban planners, ecologists, designers and researchers from around the world to explore the topical theme of water as a defining factor in the landscape, the city and the living environment. Through theoretical reflections, practical examples and innovative design strategies, the book demonstrates how water is not only a technical challenge but also a source of spatial quality, ecological sustainability and cultural identity. The publication contains dozens of contributions from international authors, organised into thematic chapters on water management, landscape architecture, urban planning, climate adaptation, river development, coastal landscapes, ecological systems and sustainable spatial development. The essays cover a wide range of topics, including flood management, rainwater harvesting, wetland restoration, urban water structures, public space, climate change and the integration of natural processes into the design of cities and landscapes. The various case studies showcase projects from Europe, Asia, North and South America and illustrate how water, as a structuring element, can contribute to a resilient and attractive living environment. The book contains numerous colour photographs, maps, plans, diagrams and illustrations, supplemented by bibliographical references, making it both a conference proceedings volume and an important international reference work on contemporary landscape architecture.
