Summary:Michel Desvigne is the most renowned French landscape architect in the world. Based in Paris, he has held guest professorships at such distinguished institutions as the Architectural Association in London and Harvard University. Desvigne’s projects have a strong strategic and conceptual component. Urban infrastructure projects play a major role, and emphasize the urban planning and design expertise evident in his landscape architecture. The book documents ten of Devigne’s major projects from France, the US, Spain and Qatar, in which he is responsible not only for the landscape architecture, but for coordination of the entire project. How can such highly complex projects be realized? What does the intellectual thought process look like? What specific problems arise in their realization?
Michel Desvigne ist der international profilierteste französische Landschaftsarchitekt. Ansässig in Paris, hatte er Gastprofessuren an der Architectural Association in London, an der Harvard University und anderswo inne. Desvignes Projekte haben eine starke strategische und konzeptionelle Komponente. Eine große Rolle spielen Verkehrsprojekte, die die städtebaulich-planerische Kompetenz seiner Landschaftsarchitektur unterstreichen. Das Buch dokumentiert zehn Großprojekte Desvignes aus Frankreich, den USA, Spanien und Qatar, bei denen er nicht nur für die Landschaftsarchitektur, sondern für die gesamte Projektleitung verantwortlich zeichnet. Wie lassen sich solche Projekte hoher Komplexität realisieren? Wie entwickelt sich der intellektuelle Gedankengang? Welche spezifischen Probleme stellen sich bei der Umsetzung?
