Les valeurs de l'habiter, étonnamment oubliées, sont ici illustrées de manière significative par des textes, des croquis et des photos. La rupture entre les oeuvres humaines et la nature, ouverte par l'Occident depuis l'Antiquité jusqu'au Mouvement moderne, est fortement contestée par cet ouvrage qui se présente comme un manifeste alternatif d'architecture contemporaine.

Conceived and designed by the Foresight, innovation and incubation team at Arup, the influential consulting firm that advises on all aspects of the built environment, this card set features seven topics that have been chosen as headings for further discussion: energy, waste, climate change, water, demographics, urbanization and poverty. The 189 cards are divided into five domains known as the steep framework: societal, technological, economic, environmental, and political. Each card represents a single driver of change-for instance urban migration, ageing population, austerity-along with a challenging and thought-provoking question. The flip side of the card provides pertinent data to expand on the question, as well as maps, graphs, and other illustrations. An accompanying booklet offers tips on how to use these cards independently or in a group setting. Whether brainstorming for new ideas or facilitating a discussion, these graphically sophisticated cards are an excellent resource for anyone interested in the future of technology, design and sustainability or indeed the way we might live in the years to come.

This book gathers a series of design research projects produced in 2007, that investigate alternative ways of constructing our relations with our environment. ‘Environment’ is a nebulous term that often implies ‘nature’. It is implied here too, but only in the sense of the nature of complex, dynamic relations. This includes that ‘other’ called ‘culture’, where we are(...)

As in his first book, Treehouse Living, Laurens demonstrates his commitment to sustainable building and environmentalism with his designs, all executed with ecological ideals in mind. In 2000 Laurens started his company, La Cabane Perchée, to design and build treehouses around Europe. Each house takes into account the local environment, as well as the tree in which the structure stands, and the photographs show details of how the treehouses are constructed without driving nails into any part of the host tree. Exceptional Treehouses is the perfect inspiration for treehouse lovers, eco-friendly architects, and enthusiastic amateurs

The pioneers of ecological architecture today are necessarily researchers as much as architects, in any conventional sense of the term. Sustainability is the key criterion in this field, and ecologically sound solutions for the designs of homes are the key challenge (homes the most commonly built structure).

The pioneers of ecological architecture today are necessarily researchers as much as architects, in any conventional sense of the term. Sustainability is the key criterion in this field, and ecologically sound solutions for the designs of homes are the key challenge (homes the most commonly built structure). Ecological Living assesses a selection of some recently built ecological habitats, collecting several built examples from a variety of French architects, examining precursors such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Alvar Aalto and Pierre Lajus, plus proposals for European architects and architecture students and inquiries into the ecological viability of detached housing and tower blocks.

The harnessing of solar energy via photovoltaic (i.e. solar electrical) technology has become one of the world's highest priorities, as dwindling oil resources compel nations all over the world to reconsider their energy policies.

Summary:
The harnessing of solar energy via photovoltaic (i.e. solar electrical) technology has become one of the world's highest priorities, as dwindling oil resources compel nations all over the world to reconsider their energy policies. Soon, many countries will be able to produce as much as 25 percent of their electricity through photovoltaics--that is, if architecture can rise to the challenge and integrate its visual and design language with that of photovoltaic systems. This challenge has already been tackled in a huge variety of projects, and Energizing Architecture presents the full range of possible photovoltaic modules, using realized buildings as examples. Intended for planners, architects and anybody concerned with the field of environmental design, it provides an index of all relevant materials, and demonstrates that the integration of photovoltaics into architectural practice can be achieved with aesthetically pleasing results.

Comprising two volumes, this edition questions the contemporary grasp of the culture/nature dichotomy. Examining the functionality of the master plan in the quest for a socially and ecologically fair future, the book presents as alternatives cooperative planning processes, artistic interventions and philosophical reflections. Community gardening, gentrification processes and citizens' participation are among the themes that the participants in this timely project address, in their aim to use sustainable artistic methods to reflect an urban response to climate change.
