Ce livre est né de la volonté de l’auteure de sauvegarder des traces des vieilles publicités peintes qu’on voit encore sur les murs de Montréal. Ce riche patrimoine urbain qui, peu à peu, disparaît témoigne d’une époque marquée par l’essor d’une classe moyenne au Québec, où tout semblait possible pour ceux qui trimaient fort.

Summary:
Ce livre est né de la volonté de l’auteure de sauvegarder des traces des vieilles publicités peintes qu’on voit encore sur les murs de Montréal. Ce riche patrimoine urbain qui, peu à peu, disparaît témoigne d’une époque marquée par l’essor d’une classe moyenne au Québec, où tout semblait possible pour ceux qui trimaient fort. En écho à ces images d’aujourd’hui, une recherche a permis de retrouver plusieurs de ces publicités alors qu’elles brillaient de tous leurs feux! Le passé et le présent se chevauchent dans un dialogue éloquent qui fait prendre conscience de l’usure du temps. À ces photos documentaires, se greffent de courts textes biographiques et évocateurs faisant revivre le climat du Montréal des années soixante, celui de l’enfance de l’auteure. La vie de quartier racontée ici rayonne à partir de l’épicerie familiale, l’Épicerie Québec, que ses parents tenaient sur le Plateau Mont-Royal. La petite histoire portant la grande, c’est celle du Québec tout entier qui se lit dans ce récit jalonné de capsules documentaires rappelant, de manière plus objective, certains faits cocasses et à la fois marquants.

Summary:
Architects are now taking advantage of the computer in new ways through experimentation with algorithmic and simulation-driven design. Computation Works focuses on this emerging theme in design practice, showcasing built and soon to be built projects and providing a state of the art in computational design. The use of algorithmic and simulation-driven design raises important new questions which the book examines including: how is computation changing the way architects design? How can computation create new forms of architecture? Is there an aesthetic to computational architecture? Are the design tools and methods related to the result?

He reveals the vast abundance of minerals, trace elements, proteins, vitamins, dietary fiber, and precious polyunsaturated fatty acids found in seaweeds, and provides instructions and recipes on how to prepare a variety of dishes that incorporate raw and processed seaweeds. Approaching the subject from not only a gastronomic but also a scientific point of view, Mouritsen sets out to examine the past and present uses of this sustainable resource, keeping in mind how it could be exploited for the future.
