Summary:
Our home is now in the city which is compacted and mixed up, which grows inwards and is renewed. We are returning to the historic city, to the modern city, to the post-industrial city, we are re-densifying the expansive city of the last decade. We are regenerating the narrow plots of the medieval urban grids, the 19th century urban extensions and the new-old cities of the 60s. We are returning to the built-up city driven by the need to save on resources, but this return cannot be a reluctant one. Density is Home echoes these types of city -dispersed, expansive, modern, the core of the city and the recycled city- through 37 projects on collective housing. 14 case studies have been extracted among them in order to analyze the desirable home.

Summary:
Liant philosophie, psychanalyse et architecture, Bernard Salignon interroge comment le concept d’habiter est au cœur de l’habitat, pensé non comme une réponse à un besoin d’abri mais comme une relation existentielle au monde. Il invite à penser l’habitation des hommes - forcément urbaine - comme l’évènement éthique et esthétique qui ouvre à de possibles accords entre la(...)

In The Dutch Urban Block, Susanne Komossa uses typomorphological research to analyse the development of the Dutch urban block as an architectural model for the past four hundred years. The urban block is the link between city dwellers' everyday lives and the urban public realm.

Le logement en France est-il plus cher, moins bien conçu, moins bien construit, moins bien fini qu’ailleurs en Europe ? Un seul OUI serait caricatural et trop généraliste.

Le logement en France est-il plus cher, moins bien conçu, moins bien construit, moins bien fini qu’ailleurs en Europe ? Un seul OUI serait caricatural et trop généraliste. Pourtant, les comparaisons fréquentes apportées par les architectes français travaillant à l’étranger et les architectes étrangers impliqués dans des projets français se rejoignent sur certains points. C’est pour en vérifier la pertinence et pour pousser plus loin la réflexion que, pour la deuxième année consécutive, après Housing Platform 1, à l’initiative d’ING Real Estate Development France avec le soutien du Pavillon de l’Arsenal, rejoint en 2009 par la Fédération des Promoteurs Constructeurs d’Île-de-France, s’est tenue Housing Platform 2. Cette manifestation qui se déroulait le 23 novembre 2009 a réuni autour de cinq tables rondes une soixantaine de professionnels, parmi lesquels des aménageurs, des maîtres d’ouvrage, des promoteurs, des architectes, des entreprises, des ingénieurs, des économistes...

Summary:
Most consumer products come primarily from the Pearl River Delta, the "factory of the world" with the largest industrial region on earth. The delta has attracted millions of poor rural residents to settle in factory towns in hopes for a better life. Factory Towns of South China opens a window on these walled compounds, exposing the gritty establishments, crowded dormitories and monotonous labor carried out by workers. Some function as self-contained cities, with their own fire brigade, hospital, bank, TV station and as many as half a million workers living within the compounds. Other factories are scattered in larger villages to mask their existence and evade governmental crackdowns on the production of fake consumer goods and illegal casino machines.

Summary:
"Housing should be seen as a process, and not as a product." The book deals with the issue of sustainability in a planning context but also analyses a building's usage and ageing over its 'life cycle'. A system of criteria specially developed in an accompanying research project can be used to compare and evaluate buildings, and as a tool for optimising the sustainability of buildings in development during the planning process. By contrast, most existing sustainability systems are conceived not as design and planning tools, but as instruments for evaluating finished buildings and completed planning. 15 practical examples explain the ways in which these criteria and other aspects of sustainable building can be implemented in sophisticated architecture and how these can then be experienced.
