Summary:
We have come to enjoy plentiful lifestyles in the 21st century, yet we are also facing issues such as climate change, social inequality, epidemics, and the shifts in global dynamics brought on by these things. ‘'How is Life?'’ takes another look at the various facets of our everyday lives, reframing architecture as something that serves to make people’s lives better and exploring ways in which design can be employed to achieve prosperity not premised on growth. By introducing projects that offer possibilities which depart from traditional conceptions of architecture and the city, the book sparks a fresh awareness, inspiring you to explore new perspectives for living together with our Earth.

Premier livre de la collection " Habiterre " : habiter et construire le monde autrement. Maxime Craipeau, spécialiste du dôme géodésique - ; bulle en bois démontable, sans fondation et peu coûteuse - ; propose un manuel d'autoconstruction en 6 étapes de cet habitat léger, qui allie esthétique et fonctionnalité. Forme architecturale qui allie esthétique, fonctionnalité et légèreté, le dôme géodésique inspiré de l'icosaèdre - forme géométrique de la famille des polyèdres comprenant vingt faces faisant référence à la théorie des solides de Platon - est une structure en demi-sphère inscrite dans un cercle hypothétique qui ne nécessite aucun pilier laissant l'intérieur totalement disponible. Présents sur tous les continents, les dômes géodésiques ont investi les lieux publics (musées, salles de spectacles, entrepôts, hangars, serre de jardin...), mais aussi les habitations privées. Démontables, transportables et économes en matériaux, ils font partie des habitats légers à faible impact environnemental ; lumineux et chaleureux, ils deviennent des cocons de bien-être ; faciles à construire et peu coûteux, ils transforment notre rapport au logement et rendent ces projets accessibles au plus grand nombre. Installé sur un rocher en Haute-Loire, Maxime Crépeaux, formateur à ce type d'habitat, a construit son dôme géodésique sans fondation, uniquement maintenu avec des tiges filetées afin de ne pas dénaturer le terrain : 2 m3 de bois pour 30 m2 au sol et une somme totale de 10000 euros. Avec une passion contagieuse, il propose dans ce guide illustré son manuel d'autoconstruction pour ceux et celles qui voudraient se lancer dans cette aventure.

When we look at trees, we see a form of natural architecture, and yet we have seemingly always exploited trees to make new buildings of our own. Whereas a tree creates its own structure, humans generally destroy other things to build, with increasingly disastrous consequences.

Summary:
When we look at trees, we see a form of natural architecture, and yet we have seemingly always exploited trees to make new buildings of our own. Whereas a tree creates its own structure, humans generally destroy other things to build, with increasingly disastrous consequences. In "Botanical architecture", Paul Dobraszczyk looks closely at how elements of plants—seeds, roots, trunks, branches, leaves, flowers, and canopies—compare with and constitute human-made buildings. Given the omnipresence of plant life in and around our structures, Dobraszczyk argues that we ought to build as much for plants as for ourselves, understanding that our lives are always totally dependent on theirs. "Botanical architecture" offers a provocative and original take on the relationship between ecology and architecture.

Summary:
Against the backdrop of a global energy crisis, a widespread movement embracing the use of raw earth materials for building construction emerged in the 1970s. "Solar Adobe" examines this new wave of architectural experimentation taking place in the United States, detailing how an ancient tradition became a point of convergence for issues of environmentalism, architecture, technology, and Indigenous resistance. Utilized for centuries by the Pueblo people of the American Southwest and by Spanish colonialists, adobe construction found renewed interest as various groups contended with the troubled legacies of modern architecture and an increasingly urgent need for sustainable design practices. In this period of critical experimentation, design networks that included architects, historians, counterculture communities, government weapons labs, and Indigenous activists all looked to adobe as a means to address pressing environmental and political issues.

Summary:
Do you know how to design for a circular economy? A truly sustainable, circular economy is both a robust and viable option for architecture. Through 24 inspirational case studies, interviews and essays, this book is an accessible and practical guide to how architects can move from a linear economy towards a circular economy. This atlas to sustainable, closed-loop systems takes the reader on a journey through four distinct steps (Recycle, Reuse, Reduce, Circular Economy) that show how they can dramatically reduce the negative impact humans have on the planet. It gives architects the skills and knowledge to navigate through the emerging fields of resource management towards a true Circular Economy. Each step is supplemented with an in-depth interview with an expert who is successfully tacking one or more of the challenges facing all designers today. If we change our behaviour, we enable humanity to work with nature rather than against it.

Summary:
There is a creative explosion of work taking place in architecture and design schools exploring materials such as mycelium, clay/earth, engineered timber, bio-based plastics and algae. This handbook of low- and no-carbon materials for architects and designers focuses on sustainable materials, their sourcing, technical properties and the processes required for their use in architecture. The book showcases new and rediscovered processes for material fabrication, responsible sourcing and creative material design. Material properties (structural, thermal, fire, health and life safety) are described and case studies from around the world illustrate the inventive ways in which these materials have been deployed in the built environment. The book is designed as an introduction to the exciting and rapidly changing world of construction materials. With a better understanding of the social, environmental and economic sustainability of any given material - alongside its technical properties - students of architecture can lead the change in responsible and creative material use.

Based on a history of climate control on urban scales, it promotes the integration of indoors and outdoors in order to reduce environmental and thermal loads in cities. Just as heating and cooling practices inside the buildings are affecting the (urban) climate outdoors, urban heat islands are influencing the energy requirements and thermal conditions inside the buildings. While the first part of the book focuses on the interwar period in Europe, the publication’s second part considers examples from all over the globe, tracing the growing significance of ecological thinking for the design of urban environments.
