Summary:
Ces dernières décennies ont été marquées par de profondes évolutions dans les modes de vie et l'organisation spatiale de la population qui appellent à des innovations en termes de production du logement et de l'environnement construit (coopératives, projet urbain, participation) et dans l'élaboration des formes urbaines (créations architecturales, mixité des fonctions, réinvention des espaces publics). Pour saisir les défis de ces mutations, cet ouvrage collectif propose un panorama complet des enjeux actuels de l'habitat en Suisse. En croisant le regard de diverses disciplines (sociologie, sciences politiques, géographie, architecture, urbanisme), il met à jour les mécanismes qui lient les transformations de la société, la production et l'organisation des lieux où l'on vit. L'ouvrage offre en particulier une description de ces enjeux en termes de mobilité, de "vivre ensemble", ainsi que les réponses architecturales et institutionnelles qui y font écho. Il pose enfin un ensemble de questions plus générales sur le devenir des politiques territoriales et sociales.

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.
