Summary:
For over 25 years, Martin Rauch has been at the forefront of research and development in all aspects of rammed earthed construction. As proper design with earth can only come from truly understanding the material, he would now like to share his experience and knowledge of this construction material in a design manual.

Summary:
For over 25 years, Martin Rauch has been at the forefront of research and development in all aspects of rammed earthed construction. As proper design with earth can only come from truly understanding the material, he would now like to share his experience and knowledge of this construction material in a design manual. The publication goes beyond projects to focus on structural elements, such as the design and layout of floors, walls, ceilings and openings, which are clearly explained with detailed project information from structures previously realised by Martin Rauch. Various examples help to illustrate how to overcome structural engineering difficulties in earth construction and the design possibilities that result from these solutions.

À travers la loi n° 2015-992 du 17 août 2015 relative à la transition énergétique pour la croissance verte, de nombreux secteurs, et notamment celui du bâtiment, doivent désormais contribuer à l’effort de sobriété et d’efficacité énergétique. Le domaine de la construction représente à lui seul 40 % des consommations d’énergie finale et près de 25 % des émissions de gaz à effet de serre de notre territoire. L’un des défis majeurs de la filière consiste ainsi à renforcer la performance énergétique dans le neuf et la réhabilitation. Richement illustré, cet ouvrage permet de découvrir, analyser et comprendre vingt-huit opérations – maisons, bâtiments, complexes immobiliers, éco-quartiers… – parmi les plus exemplaires en matière de développement soutenable. Reparties en huit chapitres qui représentent autant d’enjeux auxquels devront répondre les stratégies immobilières et territoriales de demain, ces réalisations sont décrites selon une approche tout à la fois socio-économique, architecturale et technique.

"Brut" réunit les voix de celles et ceux qui ont vu de près cette catastrophe : Melina Laboucan-Massimo, militante amérindienne, décrit la terre où elle est née et le jour où le pétrole s’y est répandu ; David Dufresne brosse le portrait des personnages de ce nouveau Klondike; Nancy Huston raconte un effrayant séjour dans son Alberta natale, puis discute avec Naomi Klein de la misère culturelle liée à ce ravage écologique. En guise de coda littéraire, une nouvelle prémonitoire du romancier canadien Rudy Wiebe, inscrit Fort Mac dans l’atlas des lieux du désastre.

Summary:
The laws of thermodynamics—and their implications for architecture—have not been fully integrated into architectural design. Architecture and building science too often remain constrained by linear concepts and methodologies regarding energy that occlude significant quantities and qualities of energy. This publication addresses this situation by providing a clear overview of what energy is and what architects can do with it. Building on the emergy method pioneered by systems ecologist Howard T. Odum, the authors situate the energy practices of architecture within the hierarchies of energy and the thermodynamics of the large, non-equilibrium, non-linear energy systems that drive buildings, cities, the planet and universe.

Summary:
Examining this state of flux of both the natural environment and the living organisms that inhabit it, this book ranges from 10,000 BCE to the modern day to present an incredibly rich and deep time overview of how we have come to our current state of ecological crisis. A far-reaching approach that considers the truly global picture and recognizes the contributions of many disciplines — including the natural sciences, the social sciences, and increasingly, the humanities — this publication focuses not only on the material world but also on humans’ ideas about the planet and their place on it. Taking as his starting point the major phases of human technological evolution of the last 12,000 years, Simmons considers how these changes have affected the natural world and goes on to assess the response to conditions such as climate change. By putting today’s environmental preoccupations into a long-term perspective, Simmons reveals the history of some current anxieties.

Summary:
Industrialization created cities of Dickensian squalor that were crowded, smoky, dirty, and disease-ridden. By the beginning of the twentieth century, urban visionaries were looking for ways to improve living and working conditions in industrial cities. In "Invented Edens", Robert Kargon and Arthur Molella trace the arc of one form of urban design, which they term the techno-city : a planned city developed in conjunction with large industrial or technological enterprises, blending the technological and the pastoral, the mill town and the garden city. Techno-cities of the twentieth century range from factory towns in Mussolini's Italy to the Disney creation of Celebration, Florida. Kargon and Molella show that the techno-city represents an experiment in integrating modern technology into the world of ideal life. Techno-cities mirror society's understanding of current technologies and, at the same time, seek to regain the lost virtues of the edenic pre-industrial village. The idea of the techno-city transcended ideologies, crossed national borders, and spanned the entire twentieth century. Kargon and Molella map the concept through a series of exemplars. These include Norris, Tennessee, home to the Tennessee Valley Authority; Torviscosa, Italy, built by Italy's Fascist government to accommodate synthetic textile manufacturing (and featured in an early short by Michelangelo Antonioni); Ciudad Guayana, Venezuela, planned by a team from MIT and Harvard; and, finally, Disney's Celebration - perhaps the ultimate techno-city, a fantasy city reflecting an era in which virtual experiences are rapidly replacing actual ones.
