Summary:
The first Apollo images of the Earth have produced a perspective enabling humanity to act on Earth and its nature as if it controlled it from "outside." The recent developments of satellite technologies have had a significant impact on the modes of representations as well as the conceptions of geography and space. Today, the visualization modes of geospatial information(...)

Summary:
The first Apollo images of the Earth have produced a perspective enabling humanity to act on Earth and its nature as if it controlled it from "outside." The recent developments of satellite technologies have had a significant impact on the modes of representations as well as the conceptions of geography and space. Today, the visualization modes of geospatial information reinforce the concept of the Earth as an "object." This new "geography from above" -the home, the city, entire territories, the Earth itself, the Moon, Mars and beyond- redefine our environment, subjectivities and practises. With such tools at hand, architects conceive of the geographic as a possible scale, site of intervention and design approach.

Summary:
Earth, our home planet, came into existence as the third planet in the solar system 4.6 billion years ago. A catastrophic collision with another large celestial body sent scattered pieces of both into the void, which would eventually gather to form the Moon 100 million years later. The Moon’s gravitational pull gave rise to tides on Earth, and from this primordial ocean(...)

Summary:
Earth, our home planet, came into existence as the third planet in the solar system 4.6 billion years ago. A catastrophic collision with another large celestial body sent scattered pieces of both into the void, which would eventually gather to form the Moon 100 million years later. The Moon’s gravitational pull gave rise to tides on Earth, and from this primordial ocean life emerged. Since mankind’s very beginnings, the Moon has been a symbol of our dreams and faith. Human ventured into space and witnessed our “blue planet” for the first time in 1961, and landed on the Moon itself in 1969. This three-dimensional panorama book celebrates our perpetual skyward gaze.

Summary:
Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983) n'est pas qu'un ingénieur de talent. Il est également cet inventeur un peu fou qui a imaginé aussi bien les dômes héliportables pour l'US Army que ceux bricolés par les hippies de Drop City. Du premier pas sur la lune à la chute de Saigon (en passant par la « bombe P », le Rapport Meadows et le premier Choc pétrolier), Fuller organisa des(...)

Summary:
Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983) n'est pas qu'un ingénieur de talent. Il est également cet inventeur un peu fou qui a imaginé aussi bien les dômes héliportables pour l'US Army que ceux bricolés par les hippies de Drop City. Du premier pas sur la lune à la chute de Saigon (en passant par la « bombe P », le Rapport Meadows et le premier Choc pétrolier), Fuller organisa des universités d'été se proposant de modéliser la crise énergétique mondiale à venir. Surnommé E3 par Stewart Brand (le fondateur du Whole Earth Catalog), Energy, Earth, and Everyone est le titre judicieusement retenu par Medard Gabel en 1975. Accompagné d'une contribution de Gene Youngblood, un disciple de la première heure, prend alors forme une passionnante archéologie des politiques énergétiques contemporaines...
