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...

Summary:
Where has our planet come from, and what lies beneath its surface? How have we come to understand its past and present environments, and what does its future look like? Thanks to scientists who study its rocks, fossils, and landscapes, we know that Earth history spans over four and a half billion years. But there is still much more to discover.

Summary:
Where has our planet come from, and what lies beneath its surface? How have we come to understand its past and present environments, and what does its future look like? Thanks to scientists who study its rocks, fossils, and landscapes, we know that Earth history spans over four and a half billion years. But there is still much more to discover. This ''Little History'' recounts our planet’s fascinating past and the science which has shaped how we think about it. Taking us from the formation of the Solar System, the evolution of our atmosphere and oceans, and the first signs of life, through to dinosaurs, mammals, and the eventual arrival of humans, Woodward shows us the full span of Earth history, from deep time to the Anthropocene. Along the way, we learn about the major breakthroughs of the pioneering scientists who have unearthed our planet’s secrets. From fossils of ancient creatures to the very air we breathe, this is the essential guide to our world.

Summary:
What form of housing will emerge in Dubai, where the majority of the population are non-citizens and average length of stay three days? How will depopulating cities reclaim vacant space, reorganize infrastructure and redefine their economic identity? What type of architecture results from the prevalence of airborne contaminants? What kind of urbanism does Google Earth produce? Exploring the increasingly decentralized systems through which cities are organized and produced, this publication highlights the architectural practices that are emerging in response. Unlike early models of urbanism, in which centralized models of production, communication and governance were sited within a central business district, contemporary urbanism is shaped by remote, distributed mechanisms such as information technologies, (i.e. SatNav, Google Earth, E-trade, Photosynth or RSS web feeds) cooperative economic models and environmental networks, many of which are physically remote from the cities they shape. Consisting of a collection of case studies on global cities including Rotterdam, Tokyo, Barcelona, Detroit, Hong Kong, Dubai, Beijing and Mumbai, the authors draw on these cities in relation to current events, urban schemes and demographic data.
