Description ▲
Michel Desvigne is no doubt the most high-profile French landscape architect working today. He collaborates with architects like Richard Rogers, Norman Foster, Renzo Piano, Ieoh Ming Pei, Herzog and de Meuron, and Jean Nouvel, and his projects are synonymous with a strong strategic and conceptual component, influenced by insights from geography. Traffic projects also play an important role in his work they underscore the competence of landscape architecture in matters of city planning. This thematic monograph documents the key elements of Desvignes work in individual chapters: processes of transformation, geography, territory, urban structures, and public squares. Each of these themes is vividly illustrated by selected projects, including the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, the Dallas Center for the Performing Arts, the French Ministry of Culture in Paris, and Keio University in Tokyo. Michel Desvigne kann sicherlich als der international profilierteste französische Landschaftsarchitekt gelten. Er arbeitet mit Architekten wie Richard Rogers, Norman Foster, Renzo Piano, Ieoh Ming Pei, Herzog & de Meuron sowie Jean Nouvel zusammen, und seine Projekte stehen für eine starke strategische und konzeptionelle Komponente, beeinflusst durch Erkenntnisse aus der Geographie. Eine große Rolle spielen zudem Verkehrsprojekte, die die städtebaulich-planerische Kompetenz der Landschaftsarchitektur unterstreichen. Die thematische Monografie dokumentiert die Schlüsselelemente Desvignes Arbeit innerhalb einzelner Kapitel: Transformationsprozesse, Geographie, Territorium, urbane Strukturen und öffentliche Plätze. Die Themen werden durch eine Auswahl von Projekten jeweils anschaulich illustriert, u.a. dem Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, dem Dallas Center for the Performing Arts, dem französischen Kulturministerium in Paris und der Keio University in Tokio.
