Summary:
Architects generally prefer to design new buildings. But today's reality is that most buildings we will use in the future have already been built. We will be required to reimagine them, whether refurbishing them or giving them an entirely new purpose. This is the theme explored in Reimagining Housing: the potentials of refurbishing existing buildings.

Summary:
L'étude des tours de la Borde permet d'illustrer un mode spécifique d'habiter " en hauteur ", l' " unité de voisinage " procédant d'une logique qui cherche à atteindre de hautes densités par la construction de bâtiments élevés. À cette époque, ce choix a donné lieu à des débats animés et, curieusement, fait encore de nos jours l'objet d'intenses discussions. L'étude des(...)

Summary:
L'étude des tours de la Borde permet d'illustrer un mode spécifique d'habiter " en hauteur ", l' " unité de voisinage " procédant d'une logique qui cherche à atteindre de hautes densités par la construction de bâtiments élevés. À cette époque, ce choix a donné lieu à des débats animés et, curieusement, fait encore de nos jours l'objet d'intenses discussions. L'étude des tours de la Borde met en perspective la qualité d'une réalisation d'inspiration organique, dans le sillage des trajectoires humanistes de Frank Lloyd Wright, Alvar Aalto, Hans Scharoun, Otto Senn ou Ernst Gisel.

Green density

(available to order)
Summary:
L'étalement urbain entraîne une utilisation peu rationnelle du sol et une pression grandissante sur le paysage, ainsi qu'un accroissement des coûts d'infrastructures et des impacts environnementaux. Face à ces conséquences, un consensus se dégage progressivement pour réorienter le développement du bâti vers l'intérieur et pour favoriser les processus de densification(...)

Summary:
L'étalement urbain entraîne une utilisation peu rationnelle du sol et une pression grandissante sur le paysage, ainsi qu'un accroissement des coûts d'infrastructures et des impacts environnementaux. Face à ces conséquences, un consensus se dégage progressivement pour réorienter le développement du bâti vers l'intérieur et pour favoriser les processus de densification urbaine. Le site de Waldstadt, sur lequel portent les travaux de recherche et d'enseignement présentés dans cet ouvrage, constitue un champ d'investigation particulièrement adapté à l'exploration de ces enjeux. Green Density présente six visions originales élaborées au sein du Laboratoire d'architecture et technologies durables (LAST) de l'Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). Par une approche se situant à différentes échelles d'intervention - du projet urbain au détail constructif - elles visent à expérimenter diverses formes envisageables pour le développement d'un tel site.

Summary:
Rio de Janeiro serves as the inspiration and case study for this publication, a widely relevant study of the appropriation and customization of standardized mass housing over time. The city’s once notorious favelas, which grew out of a government housing programme, are today safe and vibrant neighbourhoods, not to mention a viable counter-model to gated condominiums. This research-based design study from the ETH Zurich unpacks the implications of the hybrid environment of Cidade de Deus as it exists today. What results is a model for improving mass housing programmes using the ingenuity of informal practices – a model that is also globally applicable.

Summary:
Social Housing—Housing the Social: Art, Property and Spatial Justice examines ongoing transformations in social housing and asks how these transformations are reflected in the aspirations and practices of artists. Housing provides essential shelter, but also gives form to the social. It represents and embodies the materiality of civic politics and thus demonstrates the uneven nature of spatial justice at local and global scale. For many years artists have contributed to the design and organization of structures of living together, often with ambivalent effect. Whilst many have imagined—and attempted to implement—radical new forms of social housing, as alternatives to both privatization and state provision, they have also ushered in waves of gentrification, thus contributing significantly to a story of capitalization now dominant within urban infrastructures.
