Summary:
Dans une indifférence quasi générale, notre planète entre dans une phase d'extinction de masse causée par l'homme, la sixième depuis que la vie s'est diversifiée sur Terre il y a de cela 500 millions d'années. Surexploitation des ressources, surconsommation, suroffre, surcapacités technologiques, changement climatique, déforestation... les hommes se livrent à une destruction massive des écosystèmes à l'échelle planétaire, et notre mode de développement condamne probablement une espèce toutes les 20 minutes. Quels sont les mécanismes et les causes principales de l'extinction des espèces ? Que peut-on attendre des agendas politiques ? Faut-il promouvoir une écologie de combat ou une écologie de la réconciliation qui replace l'homme au sein de la nature ? Comment éviter ou limiter cette sixième extinction ? Pour comprendre les enjeux de cette crise majeure, un écologue, un biologiste marin, un spécialiste en gestion et économie de l'environnement et une philosophe de l'environnement nous invitent à leur table. Au fil de leurs connaissances, de leurs craintes mais aussi de leurs espoirs, ils nous apportent un éclairage scientifique et citoyen sur la sixième extinction de masse, la première de l'Anthropocène.

Summary:
Tools for the Design Revolution critically examines the history and influences on current designs trends, giving practical guidelines and tools for creating sustainable design processes into the future. The 'tools' are strategies for sustainable design informed by the challenges of social, cultural and ecological change. Finding new design ideas in terms of concept and product is becoming more and more important. In the past, design was dictated by the professional minority within narrow confines. In the future, design will be an expression of the collective, finding expression and meaning within a shared identity, social trends and popular culture and terms like "cradle to cradle" or "open source design" refer to a changing understanding of the creative process.

Ne risquons-nous pas de passer de la monétarisation de ce patrimoine à sa marchandisation ? Et ce débat est-il encore pertinent à une époque où nos rapports avec la nature ont clairement une composante économique ? Les terres, l’eau, les hectares de forêts, les mines, ont bel et bien un prix, même s’ils sont des biens communs. Ce livre clarifie les termes d’un débat capital, donne à comprendre la façon dont ces «prix» et ces «coûts» sont calculés, décrit les risques de dérives possibles, expose dans quels cas et sous quelles conditions il est pertinent ou non de donner un prix à la nature.

Architects today incorporate principles of sustainable design as a matter of necessity. But the challenge of unifying climate control and building functionality, of securing a managed environment within a natural setting--and combating the harsh forces of wind, water, and sun--presented a new set of obstacles to architects and engineers in the mid-twentieth(...)

Summary:
Architects today incorporate principles of sustainable design as a matter of necessity. But the challenge of unifying climate control and building functionality, of securing a managed environment within a natural setting--and combating the harsh forces of wind, water, and sun--presented a new set of obstacles to architects and engineers in the mid-twentieth century. First published in 1963, Design with Climate was one of the most pioneering books in the field and remains an important reference for practitioners, teachers, and students, over fifty years later. In this book, Victor Olgyay explores the impact of climate on shelter design, identifying four distinct climatic regions and explaining the effect of each on orientation, air movement, site, and materials. He derives principles from biology, engineering, meteorology, and physics, and demonstrates how an analytical approach to climate management can merge into a harmonious and aesthetically sound design concept.

Summary:
In this examination of the fate and future of water, Marq de Villiers takes on some of the biggest questions and shibboleths of the century. Who owns water? Is access to water a human right? Who is responsible for keeping water clean and ensuring it gets to the people who need it most? Is privatization of ownership and supply networks an evil or an extension of the public trust?

Earlier in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Pettena’s experiments in material transformations helped create some of the architect’s most iconic works. Staged in an abandoned school and in a nondescriptive suburban house, and titled Ice House I and II, Pettena would pour water into the mold works he created around the buildings’ perimeter walls.
