Summary:
Though the effects of climate change are more visible every year, it is still largely not a tangible phenomenon in day-to-day life—which is one of the reasons it’s hard to galvanize action to prevent it. The Climate Garden experience attempts to solve that problem by enabling people to experience the anticipated effects of climate change firsthand. How will the vegetation(...)

Summary:
Though the effects of climate change are more visible every year, it is still largely not a tangible phenomenon in day-to-day life—which is one of the reasons it’s hard to galvanize action to prevent it. The Climate Garden experience attempts to solve that problem by enabling people to experience the anticipated effects of climate change firsthand. How will the vegetation common to a place change? What food will we be eating in consequence? This book, illustrated with atmospheric images by photographer Nina Mann, serves as a manual for the implementation of such a public experiment on a local or regional level anywhere in the world. Contributions by human geographers, art historians, and ecologists are complemented by a step-by-step guide to creating a climate garden so that people can begin to truly grasp the reality of the problem and its effects.

Summary:
Fernand Pouillon (1912-1986) est assurément la figure la plus romanesque du XXe siècle. Les fastes de sa vie privée et ses démêlés judiciaires ont défrayé la chronique. Ils ont aussi motivé l'écriture de deux ouvrages cultes, Les Pierres sauvages (1964) et Mémoires d'un architecte (1968), qui révèlent un remarquable conteur. L'oeuvre bâtie, elle, est exceptionnelle par(...)

Summary:
Fernand Pouillon (1912-1986) est assurément la figure la plus romanesque du XXe siècle. Les fastes de sa vie privée et ses démêlés judiciaires ont défrayé la chronique. Ils ont aussi motivé l'écriture de deux ouvrages cultes, Les Pierres sauvages (1964) et Mémoires d'un architecte (1968), qui révèlent un remarquable conteur. L'oeuvre bâtie, elle, est exceptionnelle par son ampleur, ses qualités de composition et de construction. Mis au ban de sa profession pour avoir osé défier l'industrie du béton armé, Fernand Pouillon a démontré, en Provence d'abord, puis en Algérie, dans la région parisienne et en Iran, la compatibilité de la construction en pierre de taille et du logement de masse. La reconstruction du Vieux-Port de Marseille, la résidence Climat de France à Alger, celles du Point-du-Jour à Boulogne-Billancourt et du Parc à Meudon constituent aujourd'hui des repères importants dans l'histoire de l'habitat. Cet ouvrage propose un regard nouveau sur l'architecte et présente des projets, ignorés ou méconnus : maisons industrialisées, plan d'urbanisme de Créteil et projet d'extension de Saint-Tropez... Il apporte quantité d'éléments inédits sur l'oeuvre, qui se révèle plus que jamais d'une extraordinaire riche et d'une étonnante diversité.

Summary:
"A Moving Border: Alpine Cartographies of Climate Change" builds upon the Italian Limes project by Studio Folder, which was devised in 2014 to survey the fluctuations of the boundary line across the Alps in real time. The book charts the effects of climate change on geopolitical understandings of border and the cartographic methods used to represent them. Locating the Italian condition alongside a longer political history of boundary making, the book brings together critical essays, visualizations, and unpublished documents from state archives. By examining the nexus of nationalism and cartography, "A Moving Border" details how borders are both material and imagined, and the ways global warming challenges Western conceptions of territory. Even more, it provides a blueprint for spatial intervention in a world where ecological processes are bound to dominate geopolitical affairs.
