Sous forme d’essais brefs, d’articles de recherche et de contributions graphiques, les vingt six contributions sélectionnées dans ce recueil sont issues du séminaire et de l’atelier de projet du domaine d’études de master ALT de l’ENSA Lyon. Plus encore que le contemporain, ALT assume l’air du temps pour s’en faire à la fois l’écho et la critique. Sous cette météo, ALT cherche à faire éclore des parcours, des postures, des pratiques et des projets architecturaux singuliers. Cette multiplicité de singularités forme un collectif hétérogène voire dissonant, mais dont les visions simultanées esquissent le portrait d’étudiant·e·s enfants des crises, du développement durable, du pavillonnaire, du numérique, des réseaux sociaux, du penser global et de l’agir local ...

Summary:
''Climax change!'' offers an overview of how the current environmental emergency will impact the practice of architecture. At a crossroads in which the construction sector and built environment produce nearly 40% of greenhouse gases accountable for global warming, architects are just starting to acknowledge their complicity in an impending disaster. In need of a paradigm shift similar to that of the Modern Movement, architecture desperately requires clear guidelines and targets so as to operate its inevitable transformation towards an ecologically-friendly design logic. From historical analyses of ecocide or the environmental avant-gardes, to topics such as decarbonization, degrowth, the Great Transition and the aspirations of Green New Deals, this book features ten essays around today's climate change debates, bringing them home to architectural thinking.

Summary:
Our buildings are making us sick. Our homes, offices, factories, and dormitories are, in some sense, fresh parasites on the sacred Earth, "Nahasdzáán". In search of a better way, author Jim Kristofic journeys across the Southwest to apprentice with architects and builders who know how to make buildings that will take care of us. This is where he meets the House Gods who are building to the sun so that we can live on Earth. Forever. In this publication, Kristofic pursues the techniques of sustainable building and the philosophies of its practitioners. What emerges is a strange and haunting quest through adobe mud and mayhem, encounters with shamans and stray dogs, solar panels, tragedy, and true believers. It is a story about doing something meaningful, and about the kinds of things that grow out of deep pain. One of these things is compassion--from which may come solace.

In this volume, carbon pioneers Bruce King and Chris Magwood re-envision buildings as one of our most practical and affordable climate solutions instead of leading drivers of climate change. They provide a snapshot of a beginning and map towards a carbon-smart built environment that acts as a CO2 filter. Professional engineers, designers, and developers are invited to(...)

Summary:
In this volume, carbon pioneers Bruce King and Chris Magwood re-envision buildings as one of our most practical and affordable climate solutions instead of leading drivers of climate change. They provide a snapshot of a beginning and map towards a carbon-smart built environment that acts as a CO2 filter. Professional engineers, designers, and developers are invited to imagine the very real potential for our built environment to be a site of net carbon storage, a massive drawdown pool that could help to heal our climate.This book looks at the good and the bad of how we track carbon (Life Cycle Assessment), then takes a deep dive into materials (with a focus on steel and concrete) and biological architecture, and wraps up with education, policy and governance, circular economy, and where we go in the next three decades.

Le Corbusier famously said, ''A house is a machine for living in.'' We now confront the litany of environmental challenges associated with the legacy of the architectural machine: a changing climate, massive species die-off, diminished air and water quality, and resource scarcities.

Summary:
Le Corbusier famously said, ''A house is a machine for living in.'' We now confront the litany of environmental challenges associated with the legacy of the architectural machine: a changing climate, massive species die-off, diminished air and water quality, and resource scarcities. Brook Muller offers an alternative: water-centric urban design that fosters sustainability, equity, and architectural creativity. Inspired by the vernacular, such as the levadas of Madeira Island and both the arid and drenched places of the American West, Muller articulates a ''hydro-logical'' philosophy in which architects and planners begin by conceptualizing interactions between existing waterways and the spaces they intend to develop. From these interactions—and the new technologies and approaches enabling them—aesthetic, spatial, and experiential opportunities follow. Not content merely to work around sensitive ecology, Muller argues for genuinely climate-adapted urban landscapes in which buildings act as ecological infrastructure that actually improve watersheds while delivering functionality and beauty for diverse communities. Rich in images and practical examples, ''Blue architecture'' will change the way we think about our designed world.

Summary:
Les architectures légères contemporaines explorent la modularité, la construction participative ou la miniaturisation. Elles se fondent sur la conviction que construire, en conscience, plus léger réclame moins de matière, utilise moins de ressource, produit moins de déchets, demande moins de temps de montage, nécessite moins d’espace, requiert de façon exponentielle moins d’énergie, réduit symétriquement l’empreinte carbone de la construction d’un habitat. Cette étude menée sur une trentaine de projets internationaux révèle le potentiel et la diversité des systèmes constructifs développés. Elle témoigne de la capacité de ces architectures à s’adapter aux techniques et attentes de leur temps. Chaque exploration relue dans son contexte historique à partir d’archives reflète une démarche, une technique et un mode d’habiter. Redessiné et décomposé selon un protocole développé pour cette manifestation par l’agence Philippe Rizzotti Architecte et le laboratoire IBI de l’ETH Zürich, le corpus dévoile des correspondances, des qualités partagées. Cet inventaire permet de quantifier les constructions, comparer les matériaux, analyser les assemblages et classer tout ou partie pour faire émerger des logiques adaptables demain.
