Summary:
En contrepoint de l'abondante littérature existante qui porte sur ce que l'écologie fait à l’architecture, le présent ouvrage renverse la perspective et ouvre un débat. Les auteurs rassemblés au sein de l’ouvrage, chercheurs et praticiens, s'interrogent en effet sur les multiples manières qu’ont les acteurs de l'aménagement des espaces construits — architectes, paysagistes, ingénieurs, etc. — de façonner les attentes de la société en matière de lutte contre le dérèglement climatique, l’épuisement des ressources et l’effondrement de la biodiversité. Ce que l’architecture fait à l’écologie montre que leurs pratiques et discours déterminent les conditions de production du cadre bâti autant qu’ils sont déterminés par celles-ci. Dans cet ouvrage, l’architecture est ainsi considérée comme l’un des laboratoires où s’inventent la technique, l’esthétique et plus encore l’éthique qui peut orienter et guider l’action collective dans le monde qui vient.

Summary:
La moyenne montagne est un territoire à l’avant-poste de la crise climatique et de l’habitabilité que nous connaissons. Le réchauffement y est en effet deux fois plus rapide que partout ailleurs. Les conséquences sont évidentes, implacables: disparition de la neige et son corollaire économique qui met à mal une dynamique enclenchée pendant les Trente Glorieuses et les investissements des plans neige. Que faire alors des infrastructures et du bâti — patrimoine architectural ordinaire du XXe siècle? Est-il voué à l’abandon, à disparaître? Ce livre relate une expérience simultanément pédagogique, humaine, technique et prospective. Celle de l’hôtel des Deux-Sœurs au col de l’Arzelier et de sa possible réhabilitation imaginée par une équipe engagée dans la compétition Solar Decathlon Europe 2021-2022.

Summary:
Que veut — encore — dire inventer pour un architecte aujourd’hui dans le paysage troublé de l’Anthropocène? Et cette invention en architecture, si elle existe, en quoi se distingue-t-elle d’autres modes inventifs? Alors que la crise de l’habitabilité du monde est patente, la notion d’invention, commune à la philosophie et à l’architecture, se voit actuellement réinterrogée selon d’autres coordonnées. La nouveauté que l’on attend de toute invention — et il nous faut bien, peut-être plus encore aujourd’hui, inventer, créer, imaginer pour ré-habiter — ne peut plus, sauf à produire de nouvelles dévastations, s’opérer sur la base d’une destruction, d’une invisibilisation, d’une simplification.

Summary:
Over the past fifteen years, the Centre for Research Architecture at Goldsmiths, University of London, has brought together established and emergent scholars who convene to work with each other and share their ideas and insights. These assemblies have produced a space of critical encounter for developing new investigative methods, expanded spatial practices, and speculative propositions designed to respond to and intervene in the urgent political conditions of our time. This new series invites the reader into this ever-evolving pedagogical context. Each book is organized around a specific spatial issue and brings together a heterogeneous range of materials and contributors. The first work in the series, ''Border Environments'', explores the entanglement of ecology and migration. It examines the interplay between discriminatory politics, emergent technologies, and bordering practices within the context of (constructed) natures by highlighting a variety of interventions, investigative techniques, visual projects, and modes of witnessing that address the role of both human and more-than-human actors in border struggles. As such, the book is also a provocation that can be used to identify and organize new lines of struggle connecting environmental and mobility justice.

Summary:
Mobility shapes society in countless ways. Looking at society from the perspective of mobility reveals that its key moments of development coincide with the removal of obstacles to human flow—in the physical movement of people, goods, ideas, and spoken and written language. This book explores mobility in various essayistic modes, from visual essays to scientific essay to broad cultural speculations. ''Mobility | Society'' addresses, among other topics, energy politics and oil’s grip on everyday life; urban transportation policy; the restrictions placed upon differently abled bodies; patterns of data flow; human mobility and Blackness; the politics of speed; concepts of "freedom" in relation to mobility; the appearance and experience of permanence in architectural and other objects; geological movement; and the politics of mobile phones. The design of the book encourages the reader to discover and explore unsuspected relations between mobilities and aspects of our evolving society.

Summary:
Climate Inheritance is a speculative design research publication that reckons with the complexity of world and heritage in the Anthropocene. The impacts of climate change on heritage sites—from Venice flooding to extinction in the Galápagos Islands—have garnered empathetic media attention in a landscape that has otherwise failed to communicate the urgency of the climate crisis. In a strategic subversion of the media aura of heritage, DESIGN EARTH casts ten World Heritage sites as narrative figures to visualize pervasive climate risks—rising sea levels, extinction, droughts, air pollution, melting glaciers, material vulnerability, unchecked tourism, and the massive displacement of communities and cultural artifacts—all while situating the present emergency within the wreckages of other ends of world, replete with the salvages of extractivism, racism, and settler colonialism. The possibilities of such climate inheritances are narrated in drawing triptychs and mythologies that bequeath other worlds and values.

Summary:
This book presents conflicting definitions and concepts of architects and designers and the parallel histories of their intellectual positions toward environmental thought from the 19th century to today. It showcases that ecological design starts with the reconceptualization of the world as a complex system of flows rather than a discrete compilation of objects, which visual artist and theorist György Kepes has described as one of the fundamental reorientations of the 20th century. To survey the formation of this field, the history of ecological design will not be exclusively examined chronologically, but also in connected worldviews, each rendering evolving perceptions of nature, its relation to culture, and the occupation of the natural world by human and non-human subjects.

Summary:
Archival power, silences, and absences profoundly shape and structure postcolonial landscapes, spaces, and urban environments by controlling bodies, histories, and interactions. This book explores pathways to dismantle these imperial entanglements by developing methodologies and plural epistemologies through an interdisciplinary dialog between history, memory politics, critical theory, and archival practice together with the fields of the built environment, landscape, urban studies, architecture, and the arts. Unearthing traces catalyzes critical discussions that not only challenge the objectivity and dismantle the neutrality surrounding current archival practices and archival institutions, but also question what constitutes the archive itself. The book unearths potential histories and minor narratives buried by the imperial production of pasts and silences. The diverse range of contributions in the book offers original research, discussions, positions, and tools and provides a critical resource for scholars, architects, artists, activists, and archivists who want to engage with landscapes and built environments in a critical and postcolonial perspective in relation to archival materials and practices.

Summary:
"Conscious community" focuses on three Louis I. Kahn Visiting Assistant Professors’ architecture studios at Yale including that of Chirs Cornelius of the Oneida Nation of Wisconsin in "De-Colonizing Indigenous Housing," New York-based architect Rodney Leon in "National Slavery Memorial" and Jordanian-Palestinian architect and designer Abeer Seikaly in "Conscious skins." The student projects exemplify a commitment to redefining the role of architecture in addressing societal and cultural complexities while redefining the architectural subject. These projects go beyond their proposed physical constructs; they are manifestations of a conversation about space, identity, and memory. This conversation challenges architectural norms, advocating for designs that view environmental, historical, and social aspects as interwoven elements of the architectural brief.
