Synopsis
Around the globe the importance of infrastructure as the motor of economic development rising owing to increasing mobility and the need to make urban territories accessible. As a result, infrastructure networks are among the most complex and significant design tasks today.
This book investigates how the design of infrastructure actively influences the organization of the inhabited landscape. Works of infrastructure are analyzed as footprints of civilization, as physical presence, as transformers of perception, and as new vessels of collective life. The authors identify these characteristics, together with the conditions that influence them, and suggest a typology of design attitudes as revealed in recent practice around the world.
Each chapter is illustrated with key works by some of the world's most inspiring designers, including Vito Acconci, Paul Andreu, Benthem Crouwel, Dietmar Feichtinger, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, Terry Farrell, Norman Foster, Nicholas Grimshaw, Antoine Grumbach, Zaha Hadid, Arata Isozaki, Bruno Mader, Maxwan, Montgomery Sisam, OMA, Tonkin Zulaikha Greer, UN Studio, and Zwarts & Jansma.
The authors demonstrate how the combined creative potential of architecture, landscape architecture, and urban design is essential to putting into place an efficient, modern infrastructure. The result is an indispensable instrument for everyone involved in the design of infrastructure, and for all observers of the contemporary city.

From the Inside Flap
Dit boek, sinds het verschijnen uitgegroeid tot een standaardwerk voor ontwerpers van infrastructuur, biedt een fundamentele benadering van infrastructuur volgens vier kenmerken: als de oorzaak van toegenomen mobiliteit, als een fysieke aanwezigheid, een initiator van beweging en als een collectief gedeelde ervaring van ruimte. Deze kenmerken vormen de leidraad voor vier hoofdstukken waarin een typologie wordt beschreven van de ontwerp-concepten die in de huidige praktijk wereldwijd worden toegepast. Elk hoofdstuk is geïllustreerd met sleutelprojecten uit de hele wereld, van ontwerpers als Norman Foster, Zaha Hadid, Arata Isozaki en OMA. De auteurs tonen hoe het creatieve vermogen van architectuur essentieel is voor eigentijdse, optimale infrastructuur. Het resultaat is een onmisbaar instrument voor iedereen die met het ontwerp van infrastructuur te maken heeft.

Hardcover. Condition: Used - Very Good. The design of infrastructural networks-that is, roads, railways and any system that enables flow within a structure such as a city-is among urban design's foremost tasks. Around the globe, the awareness of enhanced infrastructure fluidity as a catalyst for economic development is rising. 'The Landscape of Contemporary Infrastructure' investigates how infrastructure design determines the organization and flow of the inhabited landscape-as an agency of enhanced mobility, as a design feature contributing to the character of a city and as a sound theoretical approach to a positive experience of collective space. These issues are explored in four chapters that catalogue these approaches, each chapter buttressed with key projects from the world's most important designers in this field, including Arata Isozaki, Paul Andreu, Xaveer De Geyter, Jean Nouvel and Ricardo Bofill. The authors demonstrate how the creative potential of architecture, landscape architecture and urban design is essential to the effective flow of infrastructural networks.
