Summary:
L'habitat participatif a pour objet concret le « mieux construire » et le « mieux vivre ». Cet ouvrage présente un large panel d'acteurs qui ont contribué à son essor en France, en le faisant passer du monde des pionniers à celui du logement pour tous. L'habitat participatif se développe d'autant plus rapidement qu'il répond à l'urgence de la transition climatique dans ses trois dimensions économique, environnementale et humaine. Grâce à une quarantaine d'entretiens (accompagnateurs de groupes, architectes, habitants...), l'ouvrage permet de faire connaissance avec la plupart de ces acteurs et repère les principaux pôles d'expertises existant sur le territoire métropolitain. Ce livre constitue à la fois un précieux carnet d'adresses et une cartographie précise des réseaux associatifs concernés. Il est une référence pour les familles et les personnes en recherche de futurs voisins, d'un quartier ou d'un site et d'un accompagnement technique avisé.

Summary:
Over the past 30 years, the district of Mãe Luíza in Brazil's northeastern city of Natal developed from a desolate favela into a functioning community. From the first humanitarian aid to construction of a gymnasium, this persistent process is outlined in short articles and essays in the second part of this illustrated volume. The documentation demonstrates how transformation was achieved step by step with the help of many, laying the groundwork for ongoing progress. Less crime, better education, and a fairer society – much has been accomplished and even more is possible for the future. A story by author Paulo Lins (“City of God”) tells the stirring tale of the establishment of the Brazilian favela Mãe Luíza. Fleeing drought and deadly heat, the people there fought for a piece of land to call their own, hoping for a better life. Thanks to their optimism and solidarity, their vision gradually took shape.

Summary:

Cet ensemble homogène érigé sur plusieurs décennies, très tôt labellisé « Patrimoine du xxe siècle », ne manque pas d’arguments pour revendiquer le statut de chef-d’œuvre de l’architecture moderne. Pour autant, faute d’une protection suffisante, l’ensemble de la Butte-Rouge est la cible de projets qui, menés à terme, anéantiraient toute sa cohérence architecturale et paysagère et, avec, sa vocation première. Conçu comme un lieu de sauvegarde de l’histoire de la Butte-Rouge, ce livre monographique qui plaide en faveur d’une préservation fidèle du bâti, souligne avec acuité les limites de l’action publique contre les dégâts de la spéculation immobilière et la banalisation des héritages récents. À sa façon, il appelle à ce que les icônes du logement social et collectif soient considérées en France comme de dignes empreintes de notre histoire architecturale, à défendre et à vivre.

À partir d’œuvres produites depuis une vingtaine d’années environ (de Valérie Jouve, Mohamed Bourouissa, Martha Rosler, David Hammons, Nathanaël Abeille, Stefan Eichhorn, etc.), cet ouvrage propose une lecture des rapports entretenus entre art et logement social, plus spécifiquement autour des Grands Ensembles. Entre idéalisation et rejet, ces derniers condensent en effet depuis les années 1950 l’essentiel des questionnements sur la ville, sur l’habitat populaire et sur la banlieue en tant qu’espace périphérique.
