{"product_id":"stormwater","title":"Stormwater","description":"\u003cp\u003eAll cities increasingly have to deal with stormwater, i.e., rainwater that cannot be absorbed into the ground and instead runs off surfaces like streets or roofs – sometimes with disastrous consequences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book analyzes recently designed open spaces and their treatment of water – not so much as an enemy but as an aesthetic element. They are conceived as amphibious landscapes that dynamically adjust to both dry and wet conditions and embrace dramatic variations: a sudden abundant presence of water perhaps followed by its prolonged absence in a drought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrganized in the four categories urban parks, neighborhood parks, squares and streets, the book thoroughly investigates 26 European case studies. It demonstrates that stormwater must not be seen as a menace but as an   invigorating part of urban life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExamples by renowned landscape designers such as Agence Ter, Bureau Bas Smets, Michel Desvigne Paysagiste or Henning Larsen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSystematic presentation of design strategies and comparative analysis of stormwater-embracing designs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll case studies are presented with photos, project description and drawings specifically prepared for this publication\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp class=\"search-metadata\"\u003eDesigning for Flood Management in Public Open Spaces Bianca Maria Rinaldi, Manuela Ronci, Emma Salizzoni 978-3-0356-2899-9\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Birkhäuser Verlag GmbH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53292496847176,"sku":"9783035628999","price":74.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0946\/0255\/9816\/files\/978-3-0356-2899-9.jpg?v=1781526635","url":"https:\/\/www.hochparterre-buecher.ch\/en\/products\/stormwater","provider":"Hochparterre Bücher","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
