ISBN: 9783764377007.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRevolutionizing landscape architecture through the use of intelligent materials and technologies\n\nLiving Systems surveys a wide array of innovative approaches to material technologies within the field of landscape architecture. The selected projects and materials exhibit a contemporary demand for technological landscapes and the collaboration between designers, engineers, scientists and ecologists. The book proposes a synthesis between technology and theory, focusing on growth, flow, metabolism, climate, and atmospheric phenomena.\n\nProjects and materials are cross-referenced according to performance criteria, processes, and properties. Each of the 36 international projects and 23 material technologies is presented with drawing details and construction photographs. Descriptions of key processes and adaptive qualities provide an analysis of the various complex systems featured, such as vertical growth structures, flood prevention, stormwater infiltration and erosion control.\n\nProjects featured include works by West8, GROSS.MAX, Weiss-Manfredi Architects, Field Operations, Kathryn Gustafson, and Vogt Landschaftarchitekten.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Birkhauser","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45256059945013,"sku":"ByrdShop_3764377003","price":38.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9783764377007_24cdffbf-1311-4da4-8353-482a439fedc6.jpg?v=1781288389","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/living-systems-innovative-materials-and-technologies-for-landscape-architecture-9783764377007","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
