Summary:
explores how leading architects of the twentieth century incorporated climate-mediating strategies into their designs, and shows how regional approaches to climate adaptability were essential to the development of modern architecture. Focusing on the period surrounding World War II—before fossil-fuel powered air-conditioning became widely available—Daniel Barber brings to light a vibrant and dynamic architectural discussion involving design, materials, and shading systems as means of interior climate control. He looks at projects by well-known architects such as Richard Neutra, Le Corbusier, Lúcio Costa, Mies van der Rohe, and Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill, and the work of climate-focused architects such as MMM Roberto, Olgyay and Olgyay, and Cliff May. Drawing on the editorial projects of James Marston Fitch, Elizabeth Gordon, and others, he demonstrates how images and diagrams produced by architects helped conceptualize climate knowledge, alongside the work of meteorologists, physicists, engineers, and social scientists. Barber describes how this novel type of environmental media catalyzed new ways of thinking about climate and architectural design.

Summary:
"Regeneration" offers a visionary new approach to climate change, one that weaves justice, climate, biodiversity, equity, and human dignity into a seamless tapestry of action, policy, and transformation that can end the climate crisis in one generation. It is the first book to describe and define the burgeoning regeneration movement spreading rapidly throughout the world. "Regeneration" describes how an inclusive movement can engage the majority of humanity to save the world from the threat of global warming, with climate solutions that directly serve our children, the poor, and the excluded. This means we must address current human needs, not future existential threats, real as they are, with initiatives that include but go well beyond solar, electric vehicles, and tree planting to include such solutions as the fifteen-minute city, bioregions, azolla fern, food localization, fire ecology, decommodification, forests as farms, and the number one solution for the world: electrifying everything. Paul Hawken and the nonprofit Regeneration Organization are launching a series of initiatives to accompany the book, including a streaming video series, curriculum, podcasts, teaching videos, and climate action software. "Regeneration" is the inspiring and necessary guide to inform the rapidly spreading climate movement.

Summary:
Cet ouvrage discute des transformations dans la gouvernance et la planification urbaine en contexte de changements climatiques, à partir d’une friche urbaine en réaménagement à Montréal. Lachine-Est est un espace de multiples expérimentations évoluant en parallèle, parfois en convergence ou en porte-à-faux, qui permettent de comprendre les enjeux de l’adaptation et de la gouvernance partagée à Montréal et ailleurs. Dans ses trois parties – transformer la gouvernance urbaine, l’urbanisme, l’intervention urbaine –, l’ambition est de sortir l’adaptation aux changement s climatiques des cadres trop étroits qui limitent sa portée. En plus des analyses issues de la recherche-action du Labo Climat Montréal, l’ouvrage propose des voix plurielles, avec des perspectives citoyennes, communautaires et de planificateurs. Le livre met l’accent sur un moteur d’ambitions renouvelées dans l’adaptation aux changements climatiques : des expérimentations de concertation. Il est question du développement de dispositifs de travail concerté rassemblant des acteurs peu habitués à travailler ensemble, dans des institutions et hors de celles-ci, avec un plus grand partage de pouvoirs, ainsi que la construction de sens et de leviers collectifs pour agir.
