Summary:
The geographic, social, and economic diversity of Mexico constitute a prime example of the challenges inherent to meeting individual needs in an increasingly crowded world. The drawings and essays comprise new ways of looking at theories and buildings in order to redefine the connection between housing and the city. This research is centered in drawings of 70 housing projects, creating a common language highlighting different attempts at reinventing the house not as an isolated battle but as part of a strategy for reimagining how we want to live. This book showcases the pivotal voices that have shaped major cities through housing projects and explores how policies and ideas transform into built form, and how in turn buildings shape societies.

Summary:
Les années 2000 ont marqué un tournant particulier dans la production de logements collectifs en Suisse en s’orientant vers des recherches formelles et spatiales inédites. Ce phénomène de singularisation semble répondre aux profondes mutations du territoire induites par la densification sur l’intérieur, qui implique de construire dans des situations toujours plus complexes et a engendré de nouveaux «contextes» à habiter. Cet ouvrage propose de mettre en évidence l’évolution des tendances conceptuelles et modalités de relation à ces « contextes », à travers les réflexions de plusieurs contributeurs et la constitution d’une iconographie qui donne à voir ou à revoir l’architecture du logement après que la végétation a poussé et que les habitants se soient appropriés les lieux.

Summary:
L'habitat participatif a pour objet concret le « mieux construire » et le « mieux vivre ». Cet ouvrage présente un large panel d'acteurs qui ont contribué à son essor en France, en le faisant passer du monde des pionniers à celui du logement pour tous. L'habitat participatif se développe d'autant plus rapidement qu'il répond à l'urgence de la transition climatique dans ses trois dimensions économique, environnementale et humaine. Grâce à une quarantaine d'entretiens (accompagnateurs de groupes, architectes, habitants...), l'ouvrage permet de faire connaissance avec la plupart de ces acteurs et repère les principaux pôles d'expertises existant sur le territoire métropolitain. Ce livre constitue à la fois un précieux carnet d'adresses et une cartographie précise des réseaux associatifs concernés. Il est une référence pour les familles et les personnes en recherche de futurs voisins, d'un quartier ou d'un site et d'un accompagnement technique avisé.
