Summary:
Défendre une architecture du bien commun, signifie interroger le bâtiment mais aussi les conditions de son édification, les pratiques spatiales, l’usage social, l’attachement au lieu. En s’appuyant sur des exemples oasiens au Maroc, l’ouvrage développe une réflexion critique qui s’attache à corriger une certaine idée de la modernité afin de définir les conditions d’une(...)

Summary:
Défendre une architecture du bien commun, signifie interroger le bâtiment mais aussi les conditions de son édification, les pratiques spatiales, l’usage social, l’attachement au lieu. En s’appuyant sur des exemples oasiens au Maroc, l’ouvrage développe une réflexion critique qui s’attache à corriger une certaine idée de la modernité afin de définir les conditions d’une nouvelle régulation de la production architecturale dans un contexte de forte contrainte environnementale. Il s’agit donc de dépasser l’esthétique de l’héritage et interroger plutôt son capital de résilience. C’est cette dynamique constante de l’adaptation qui est en souffrance aujourd’hui et qu’il faut réactiver pour sortir du tout-béton destructeur des potentiels environnementaux et sociétaux.

Summary:
"Recycled theory" is a multidisciplinary dictionary made of entries in form of texts, drawings and quotes, which explore the concept of “recycling” in design cultures and in the theories that nurture them. Usually we recycle things, objects, spaces but more often we return on principles and approaches to rearrange them, put them back into circulation, and override them.(...)

Summary:
"Recycled theory" is a multidisciplinary dictionary made of entries in form of texts, drawings and quotes, which explore the concept of “recycling” in design cultures and in the theories that nurture them. Usually we recycle things, objects, spaces but more often we return on principles and approaches to rearrange them, put them back into circulation, and override them. The practice of recycling is therefore placed in an area of negotiation between memory and amnesia, it brings out the unexpected self-regeneration potential of what exists, our ability to preserve and reinvent it, even through its partial breakdown. The words here collected (from “amnesia” to “zone”) identify materials, procedures, ambiguities, deviations, and potential nexus of recycling, recording terms that tell the different processes of production and sense of city and landscape after recent socio-economic upheavals and the widening of preservation as the prevalent scenario for the project. Recycled Theory comes out of the collaboration of eleven Italian universities engaged in the research “Re-cycle Italy: New Life Cycles for Architecture and Infrastructure of City and Landscape.”

Summary:
Landscape architecture has a pivotal role in ensuring environmental sustainability through design interventions. This book takes a broad look at strategies and completed projects to provide the reader with a strong understanding of the sustainability challenges being faced by designers today, and potential routes to addressing them. The book covers essential concepts of landscape architecture and environmental sustainability, including: - Ecology, multifunctional landscapes and sensitive intervention - Remediation, cleansing and environmental infrastructure - Social sustainability, design activism and healthy landscapes - Food systems, productive landscapes and transportation - Performance ratings, materials and life cycles Through case studies from around the world and interviews with leading landscape architects and practitioners, this book invites discussion about possible future scenarios, relevant theories and project responses in landscape environmental design. With hundreds of color images throughout the book, and additional study material in the companion website, Joshua Zeunert provides an overview of the multidimensional qualities of landscape sustainability.

The hidden culprit is embodied carbon?the carbon emitted when materials are mined, manufactured, and transported?comprising some ten percent of global emissions. With the built environment doubling by 2030, buildings are a carbon juggernaut threatening to overwhelm the climate. Like never before in history, buildings can become part of the climate solution. With biomimicry and innovation, we can pull huge amounts of carbon out of the atmosphere and lock it up as walls, roofs, foundations, and insulation. We can literally make buildings out of the sky with a massive positive impact.

Un ouvrage à voix multiples pour réinventer nos récits collectifs et construire un « monde d'après » sous le signe du progrès social et du développement durable, coordonné par le laboratoire d'innovation ACIDD'Lab. 86 % des Français estiment qu'ils vont devoir changer leurs comportements du fait de la situation environnementale (étude IFOP/Solutions COP21, octobre 2015). La prise de conscience est donc bien là. Alors, pourquoi ne passons-nous pas à l'acte? Bien sûr, c'est une question d'argent ; bien sûr, il ne sera pas facile de remettre en cause nos modes de production et de consommation. Mais l'urgence est réelle : il en va de l'héritage que nous laisserons aux générations futures, de la façon dont elles pourront s'adapter et, à court terme, de notre qualité de vie et même très directement de notre santé.Comment transformer cette conscience en actions ? Ni la culpabilisation ni la recherche de boucs émissaires ne sont efficaces. Au contraire, selon les auteurs, seule l'invention d'un nouvel imaginaire positif et partagé, seule une vision créative et collective de l'avenir déclencheront les actions nécessaires pour le réaliser. C'est pourquoi de nombreuses personnalités se sont réunies ici pour participer à la construction des mythes et des imaginaires de demain.

Sustainable architecture is one of the most popular trends today. With dense urban living and less green space available, green walls and roofs are helping to fill that gap. These living structures can be created with vegetation, which helps to absorb rainwater, provide insulation, and lower temperatures while creating a habitat for natural flora and fauna.

Ces contraintes sont aussi des ressources, témoins de l’identité des lieux. Lorsque le projet de territoire intègre l’aléa comme élément fondateur, la difficulté est souvent une chance. Penser la ville avec l’aléa conduit à être plus inventif, à proposer des espaces urbains moins génériques, mieux ancrés sur leur sol. Ceci facilite le décloisonnement des certitudes et des métiers ; la règle et le projet collaborent très en amont. Cela profite à tous. À l’exemple des fleuves, qui ont été d’abord de féconds bienfaiteurs, offrant eau, connexions et paysages aux villes qu’ils traversent, l’aléa devient un atout.

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.
