Stormwater — rain that cannot soak away and instead runs off streets and roofs — has become the agent that exposes the underlying fragility of built fabric. Bianca Maria Rinaldi, Manuela Ronci and Emma Salizzoni respond with a systematic atlas rather than a warning: twenty-six European best-practice case studies, organised across four categories of urban parks, neighbourhood parks, squares and streets, each presented with photographs, project description, and drawings prepared specifically for this book. The premise throughout is that water can be treated as a design medium — that landscapes can adjust dynamically between drought and sudden abundance, and that flood management and public space are the same problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwenty-six European case studies across four categories: urban parks, neighbourhood parks, squares and streets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten by Bianca Maria Rinaldi, Manuela Ronci and Emma Salizzoni of Politecnico di Torino\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrawings prepared specifically for this publication, alongside photographs and project descriptions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProjects by Agence Ter, Bureau Bas Smets, Michel Desvigne Paysagiste and Henning Larsen, among others\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e180 colour illustrations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Discover\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow amphibious landscapes are designed to hold a sudden abundance of water and then read convincingly through months of its absence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComparative design strategies drawn across four distinct categories of public open space, rather than treated project by project\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhere flood management shifts from engineering infrastructure to landscape architecture — and what changes in the drawings when it does\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe specific technical and spatial moves used by practices including Agence Ter and Bureau Bas Smets to absorb stormwater in dense urban settings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBianca Maria Rinaldi is Professor of Landscape Architecture at Politecnico di Torino.
