Indeed, Hopstock has ventured deeply into archival “woods”, emerging with meticulous evidence and nuanced narratives around Hermann Mattern (1902–1971), one of Germany's most significant yet contentious landscape architects.

It contains much of the stuff we don’t dare to look into, true – mostly because forests fall under the domain of forestry. Designed Forests: A Cultural History uncovers human entanglements with forests as a design metaphor through a series of gripping stories Dan Handel researched in serious depth, not leaving room for much romance. Taking us on a global journey through projects that involve forests as a point of departure, Handel catches us in our preconceived ways of thinking, traversing the undergirding ideas, cutting to the stem of those lines of thought. The book is not an answer to what a forest is, yet we might get an idea of how forest metaphor gets instrumentalized in discourse in spatial design practices and what this metaphor lacks.]]> https://landezine.com/clearing-the-woods-dan-handel-on-forest-metaphors/feed/ 0 Forest Urbanisms: New Non-human and Human Ecologies for the 21st Century by Bruno De Meulder and Kelly Shannon https://landezine.com/forest-urbanisms-new-non-human-and-human-ecologies-for-the-21st-century-by-bruno-de-meulder-and-kelly-shannon/ https://landezine.com/forest-urbanisms-new-non-human-and-human-ecologies-for-the-21st-century-by-bruno-de-meulder-and-kelly-shannon/#respond Mon, 24 Feb 2025 09:48:20 +0000 https://landezine.com/?p=117386 The book Forest Urbanisms brings together underlying ideas, the concept of forest urbanism, and global practices and research that engage with forests through a critical and nuanced lens. Using the world is forest as the guiding principle, the authors put the forest in a central role of the spatial organization across regions, scales and quantities – from a solitary tree to an interplay of buildings and trees. This expanding notion of forest expects new morphologies and typologies of forest urbanism.
