Summary:
Through a collection of essays and case studies, ''Water Works'' shows over sixty careful responses to flooding, draught, pollution, extraction and other issues around freshwater. Divided into seven themes: Purity, Wild, Scale, Representation, Violence, Infrastructure and Commerce, ''Water Works'' allows us to learn from places and makers that build on the intricate relationships between people and other life forms, materials and (infra)structures. Critically blending knowledge derived from craft, art, science and ecology, these works ask: what are sensible ways to embrace and connect with water? Through wading, floating, testing and tasting, how can we generate more desirable ecosocial relations? In facing large-scale engineering, climate change, privatization and other forms of water violence, these works are an invitation to design together with water as a site and medium for ecosocial renewal.

Summary:
In today’s context, concepts such as component hunting, urban mining, and biosourced materials do not merely denote technical strategies. Rather, they articulate ways of reconfiguring the relationship between architecture, materiality, and productive processes. A critical response to the demands of the environmental agenda, this issue explores how these three approaches(...)

Summary:
In today’s context, concepts such as component hunting, urban mining, and biosourced materials do not merely denote technical strategies. Rather, they articulate ways of reconfiguring the relationship between architecture, materiality, and productive processes. A critical response to the demands of the environmental agenda, this issue explores how these three approaches can shift architectural focus towards an active engagement with resources, their cycles, and material trajectories. It challenges the notion of architecture as a finite object, advancing instead a material ethic in which design becomes an act of negotiation, translation, and ecological and economic commitment.

Pourquoi hésite-t-on à agir pour le climat ou la biodiversité, alors que la planète manifeste des signes de plus en plus évidents de profonds bouleversements écologiques ? Qu’est-ce qui nous pousse à franchir le pas et à s’engager dans l’action ? Stein van Oosteren connaît trop bien les rouages de cette hésitation. Rien ne le prédestinait particulièrement à s’engager dans la lutte pour le climat. Pourtant, il y a eu un déclic, le besoin de faire quelque chose, puis le passage à l’action. Dans ce livre plein de verve et d’enthousiasme, Stein van Oosteren réfléchit sur la nature de nos blocages et partage des outils pour surmonter le vertige et les hésitations qui accompagnent toute démarche d’engagement. Puisant dans son propre parcours de militant pour le vélo et d’attaché à l’UNESCO, il parle d’urbanisme, de mobilité, d’alimentation, de santé, d’éducation ou d’art en interrogeant avec philosophie notre rapport au temps, à l’autre, au travail, aux mots… Ses questionnements, ponctués d’humour, jettent un éclairage nouveau et rafraîchissant sur les possibilités de transformation sociale.

Led by Urszula Kozminska, the project "Time matters" is a collective reflection on an open and experimental approach towards sustainability in which the idea of time is the core of investigations. It aims to showcase the power of fictional architectural narratives in stimulating new ways of mapping, designing, constructing, and communicating. Furthermore, the project promotes an architecture that evolves alongside shifting conditions and introduces its dynamics as a primary design parameter.

Summary:
"The boiled frog syndrome" presents compelling evidence to show that the source of the majority of the Western diseases of civilisation that have multiplied over the past 100 years, ranging from cancers to debilitating sicknesses and allergies, can be traced to the modern built environment, our increasing exposure to electromagnetic radiation and the indiscriminate use of untested advanced technology. It is also due, in part, to the 20th century's repudiation of perennial wisdom. Our physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing will depend on our endeavours to bring about fundamental changes to combat the hazards. But how can this be done? And what can we - the so-called ordinary people - do about it? The text explores how our subtle energy sensitivities respond to the external environment and suggests the steps we can take to ensure our homes and workplaces are safe and conducive to our continued good health. For this it draws on common sense and the author's personal experience as a practising architect and consultant. It is also based on the wisdom and teachings of the past, gleaned from those who knew how to create a healthy, harmonious environment. This book provides the reader with the 'ammunition' to challenge the attitudes of the practitioners and their teaching institutions who are engaged in the built environment.
