Summary:
It is said that the history of modern architecture can be observed through the evolution of the single-family home. Over generations, each has hoped to improve on the last, rethinking and reinventing this seemingly simple building type. At certain historic moments in the discourse, new ideas about domesticity have given form to radically different configurations of home and community. Current emphasis on sustainability presents a unique opportunity to design affordable houses that respond to specific economic, social, and environmental challenges. In From the Ground Up, editor Peggy Tully presents the results of an international competition to create new models for affordable high-performance green homes in urban residential neighborhoods. Developed for a vacant infill site in Syracuse's Near Westside, these ambitious projects offer an array of innovative designs that provide a new vision for once-vital urban residential neighborhoods and well-designed energy-efficient homes throughout the United States. From the Ground Up includes topical essays by series editor Mark Robbins, architect Michael Sorkin, and architectural historianSusan Henderson.

Summary:
In 2007, the architect and scholar Jana Revedin created the Global Award for Sustainable Architecture in collaboration with Cité de l’Architecture et du Patrimoine, to recognize architects leading the field in environmentally friendly design and practice. The prize, which now receives the patronage of UNESCO, is awarded each year to five architects who share the principles of sustainable development and who have taken an innovative approach towards maintaining them in the built environment. This publication illustrates the work of Sami Rintala, Studio Mumbaï, Diébédo Francis Kéré, Patrick Bouchain and Loïc Julienne, Thomas Herzog, Junya Ishigami, Steve Bear, Giancarlo Mazzanti, Troppo Architects and Snohetta, all of who won the prize in 2009 or 2010. Sustainable Design assesses the methodology of each architect through essays as well as visual documentation of their most relevant projects.

Summary:
Ce coffret, Un autre possible, regroupe les deux ouvrages: Vers une cité végétale et Archiborescence (nouvelle édition). Dans Vers une cité végétale, Luc Schuiten a rassemblé ses réflexions et projets concernant le futur proche de nos villes et campagnes. Il y suggère des solutions pour les transports publics et individuels de demain, propose déjà des formes d’habitat archiborescent réalisables immédiatement, et étudie le devenir de la ville deLyon à l’horizon 2100. L’ouvrage offre un complément à Archiborescence qui envisage des évolutions à beaucoup plus long terme. La collaboration s’est renouvelée avec Pierre Loze pour la rédaction des textes et avec Gauthier Chapelle qui conclut l’ouvrage en examinant en biologiste la validité des hypothèses visionnaires de Luc Schuiten. Archiborescence retrace le parcours de créateur de Luc Schuiten depuis la maison Oréjona qu’il construisit pour lui-même jusqu’aux cités qu’il a imaginées en visionnaire pour une société revenue à des modes de vie écologiques. Une trentaine d’années de projets, destinés à suggérer au monde industrialisé d’autres voies que celles de l’épuisement des ressources de la planète. Pierre Loze a prêté sa plume à la pensée de Luc Schuiten, et Gauthier Chapelle, biologiste, l’a conseillé et a réalisé un chapitre sur le biomimétisme qui clôt l’ouvrage publié pour la première fois en 2006. Un voyage dans le futur de nos sociétés, réconciliées avec la nature.

Summary:
Does going green change the face of design or only its content? The Shape of Green argues that beauty is inherent to sustainability, for how things look and feel is as important as how they’re made. In addition to examining what makes something attractive or emotionally pleasing, Hosey connects these questions with practical design challenges. Can the shape of a car make it more aerodynamic and more attractive at the same time? Could buildings be constructed of porous materials that simultaneously clean the air and soothe the skin? Can cities become verdant, productive landscapes instead of wastelands of concrete? Drawing from a wealth of scientific research, Hosey demonstrates that form and image can enhance conservation, comfort, and community at every scale of design, from products to buildings to cities. Fully embracing the principles of ecology could revolutionize every aspect of design, in substance and in style. Aesthetic attraction isn’t a superficial concern — it’s an environmental imperative. Beauty could save the planet.
