Summary:
Parmi les stigmatisations formulées par l'Internationale situationniste, l'urbanisme occupe une place spécifique en tant que forme spatiale de domination de la marchandise ou comme décor naturel du capitalisme. Ses diatribes et attaques constituent une véritable déclaration de guerre contre l'idéologie dominante du fonctionnalisme et du modernisme, entendue comme voie(...)

Ses diatribes et attaques constituent une véritable déclaration de guerre contre l'idéologie dominante du fonctionnalisme et du modernisme, entendue comme voie royale du progrès économique et social. Nulle part mieux que dans les transformations de l'art de bâtir, la prégnance de cette nouvelle doxa n'est manifeste. En dépit de quelques travestissements culturels, l'architecture renoue avec sa fonction politique d'inscrire la division de la société dans l'espace, imposant à chaque classe sociale sa place.

Summary:
Being visual climate thermometers, glaciers are usually portrayed and talked about from that perspective. But Swiss photographer Julian Stetler looks at glaciers as living beings and active protagonists. Born out of the permanent metamorphosis from snow to ice, they are uniquely dynamic. From the human perspective, we can only ever perceive slices of them; they exist in a(...)

Summary:
Being visual climate thermometers, glaciers are usually portrayed and talked about from that perspective. But Swiss photographer Julian Stetler looks at glaciers as living beings and active protagonists. Born out of the permanent metamorphosis from snow to ice, they are uniquely dynamic. From the human perspective, we can only ever perceive slices of them; they exist in a different timescale, beyond our grasp. This book examines the many ways of glacial expression, the diverse shapes and colours they assume, and how they influence and mingle with their surroundings. With a poem by Daniela Molnar, plus contributions by a journalist, a landscape architect, and a microbiologist.

Lisbon is being ravaged by an unprecedented housing crisis. The exponential increase of prices, the combined outcome of the financialisation of housing and the lack of continued investment of public policies, means that every Portuguese person is, or knows someone who is, affected by the crisis. There is a restless public debate, but little has been told about the buildings that will give shape to the political strategies that are being conceived and implemented. Which city do we wish to build to face the problem? What can be the role of architecture in this context? "Living in Lisbon" concisely presents the conjecture and possibilities of action to think about the building of the city. The book includes an overview of the most charismatic architectures resulting from public housing policies that have been built in Lisbon over the course of 50 years of democracy, describes the main projects that are currently on the table, presents analytical visions of the present situation and freely envisions plans for the future in the form of dialogue, essay or manifesto.

Rising temperatures can only be reduced if there is a radical change in the field of construction throughout the world. However, how should we design our cities, buildings and living spaces so that we can get closer to the goal of decarbonisation? The book gives 20 architects and urban planners their say on the future of construction. Voices are heard from Mexico to Kenya – from Bangladesh to Switzerland. In the interviews experts give an account of their own experiences with climate-friendly construction as well as regional problems posed by rising CO2emissions. They explain pioneering projects and combine them with their personal desire and political ideals.

We encounter its medicinal and gastronomic properties and long history of human use, from the Neolithic(...)

Seaweed is so familiar, and yet we know so little about it. Even its names-- pepper dulse, sea lettuce, bladderwrack-- are mystifying. In this exquisitely illustrated portrait, poet and artist Miek Zwamborn shares discoveries of seaweed's history, culture, and science. We encounter its medicinal and gastronomic properties and long history of human use, from the Neolithic people of the Orkney islands to sushi artisans in modern Japan. We find seaweed troubling Columbus on his voyages across the Atlantic and intriguing Humboldt in the Sargasso Sea. We follow its inspiration for artists from Hokusai to Matisse, its collection by Victorians as pressed specimens in books, its adoption into fashion and dance, and its potential for combating climate change, as a sustainable food source and a means of reducing methane emissions in cattle. And, of course, we learn how to eat seaweed, through a fabulous series of recipes based around these "truffles of the seas."

Summary:
Constant change is what marks the history of the European city. Over centuries, architecture’s reactions to social disruptions?natural disaster, plague, or war?have fashioned the city into an engine of civilization. And bound up with this has been the promise of economic independence, social cohesion, and individual freedom. Now fundamental challenges, such as climate change, are bringing cities face to face with new transformations that call into question the continuity and sustainability of the ethical foundations underpinning urban ways of life. Bold and decisive steps are needed. How far can urban planning, landscape planning, and architecture foster the vital processes of change? How can the city offset possible losses caused by altered lifestyles, integrate new technologies, or rehearse new forms of behaviour and ultimately sublimate them into a functioning culture? In this volume, the members of the Architecture Section of the Akademie der Künste Berlin and their invited guests from all over Europe introduce their positions by means of projects, visions, and manifestos.

Despite the negative ecological effects of overconsumption, overproduction and waste, the habit of replacing rather than repairing goods has persisted and even worsened over recent decades.

Summary:
This volume addresses the widespread tendency to discard broken items rather than to refurbish them. Despite the negative ecological effects of overconsumption, overproduction and waste, the habit of replacing rather than repairing goods has persisted and even worsened over recent decades. To counteract this trend, students at the University of Applied Sciences in Munich and ETH Zurich have been developing imaginative concepts for repairing a wide variety of objects, applying them both manually and by using digital techniques such as 3D printing. Beyond restoration, many projects develop and improve the repaired objects constructively, materially, or even in terms of design, lending them new value. This publication presents a variety of approaches and projects, plus essays by notable personalities from the fields of architecture, preservation, materials science, design, manufacturing and craft.

Agir de manière décisive pour améliorer le bilan environnemental exige donc d'oeuvrer en priorité à la mise à niveau des bâtiments existants, avant de combler les besoins additionnels par la construction de bâtiments neufs performants. Qu'il s'agisse de requalifications, de changements d'usages, de rénovations intégrales ou de réfections plus modestes, ces approches constituent autant d'occasions d'optimiser un investissement initial pour en tirer un maximum de valeur. Prolonger la vie utile d'un bâtiment peut en soi constituer un geste environnemental fort. Cet ouvrage explore les retombées écologiques, sociales et économiques de la construction au Québec et met en évidence les avantages de valoriser les bâtiments anciens comme stratégie de développement durable.
