描述
In the field of landscape architecture, there is no more distinguished voice than Michael Van Valkenburgh, and so it is appropriate that we begin this new Source Books in Landscape Architecture series with his recently completed Allegheny Riverfront Park project for Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. As part of the city's efforts to restore its downtown district and riverfront, Van Valkenburgh, along with artists Ann Hamilton and Michael Mercil, developed an ambitious plan to reform the wasted land along the river into an urban refuge. The celebrated collaboration between landscape architect and artists produced a thoughtful, useful, and beautiful park that has successfully renewed the city's core.Source Books in Landscape Architecture, produced in collaboration with Ohio State University, will provide detailed documentation of important new projects.
Author Biography: Jane Amidon is a designer and writer currently teaching at the Knowlton School of Architecture.

备用描述
Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates' acclaimed Allegheny Riverfront Park offers a new model for contemporary park making. Designed in collaboration with artists Ann Hamilton and Michael Mercil, the park accepts and amplifies its intensely urban location. The scheme presents three experiences that unfold within a strictly linear framework: the civic, the exaggerated nature of the river, and the city infrastructure. A template for movement and sensation, the park celebrates the interaction of landscape and art and in the process renews an essential segment of Pittsburgh's waterfront.Michael Van Valkenburgh/Allegheny Riverfront Park features extensive photographic documentation of the project from conception and construction through the ongoing evolution of the park landscape. Informative diagrams and working drawings, insightful interviews with Van Valkenburgh and the project team, and critical commentary from professionals examine the complex technical and cultural impact of this seminal park.Source Books in Landscape Architecture are the result of the Herb and DeeDee Glimcher Distinguished Visiting Professorship at the Knowlton School of Architecture. Designed as a series of discussion-based seminars, the program invites each Glimcher professor to present their work in a three-part framework: influences and process, important works, and a focus on a single project that serves as the subject for a Source Book monograph. The Glimcher professorship and publications offer direct access to leading voices in the profession and promote critical inquiry in contemporary designed landscapes by examining intentionality and results of selected works.

<p>When World War II came along, the American military found itself in need of a prefabricated, lightweight shelter that could be easily shipped and quickly assembled. The quonset hut, that sliced tube of corrugated metal, was the answer. Over a hundred thousand were produced as part of the war effort. In its aftermath, even more were built and existing huts were adapted to house the postwar population boom. Of course, it couldn't last&#58; the American desire for permanence meant decay and neglect for many of these rough-and-ready shelters and quickie warehouses. <p>But in the midst of its almost tragic tale of extinction, the quonset hut has emerged as an unexpected icon of Americana and an oasis of architectural imagination. Travel the back roads of America and you will find the quonset's distinctive shape enclosing everything from houses of worship to houses of pancakes. <p><I>Quonset Hut</i> tells the story of this unique architectural phenomena, from its birth during WWII as a mass-production shelter to its new status as an icon of American pragmatism, ingenuity, perseverance, and individuality.</p>

"An unexpected architectural phenomenon - something like a halved tin can turned on its side - swept across the American landscape after World War II: the Quonset hut. Originally designed during the war for use as makeshift housing for soldiers and their families around the world, the seemingly ubiquitous Quonset hut housed a rapidly expanding nation in the 1940s and 1950s both at work and at play. From recording studios - a Quonset was responsible for the birth of the "Nashville sound" - to the 1948 congressional campaign headquarters of Gerald Ford, to an endless variety of incarnations including bars, movie theaters, classrooms, supermarkets, restaurants, and houses of worship, the Quonset hut was the shape of a nation in need of affordable, easy-to-build shelter. Quonset Hut: Metal Living for a Modern Age is a look at a surprising architectural sensation and offers a refreshing, revealing, and untold story of a true American icon."--BOOK JACKET

The series is intended to delve beneath the surface of contemporary designed landscapes to look at the intentionality and results, each volume focusing on one project or a group of related works deemed significant to the practice and study of current landscape architecture. The project described and colorfully illustrated here was part of a larger development project in Pittsburgh completed in 2004. Interviews with the designer and comments by critics provide most of the text. There is no index. Annotation 2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
