Summary:
"Building with earth" is a comprehensive guide to describe the re-emergence of earthen architecture in North America, where adventurous builders are combining timeless forms such as arches, vaults, and domes with modern materials and techniques. Using cheap recycled or salvaged polypropylene tubing or textile grain sacks, even relatively inexperienced builders can construct an essentially tree-free building, from foundation to curved roof. With ordinary barbed wire between courses for tensile strength, and with beautifully textured earth- and lime-based finish plasters for weather protection, "earthbag" buildings are being used for retreats, studios, and full-time homes in a wide variety of climates and conditions. This book will tell and show readers how to plan and build their own earthen "Superadobe" building.

Summary:
The architecture of ordinary people represents more than ninety per cent of the world's buildings, including some 800 million homes. Dwellings is about the types and forms of vernacular houses around the world. It documents the form of traditional buildings that are self-built by their owner-occupiers or built by members of a community, recording the means of construction and decoration of the house in many different cultures. First published by Phaidon in 1987, "Dwellings", in its new updated, revised and expanded format, takes into account new scholarship in the field, including the author's own fieldwork, and also acknowledges theoretical developments in the areas of cultural geography, gender studies, sociology and anthropology. "Dwellings" is a reference work on domestic buildings and also a useful survey for understanding how different communities cope with issues of climate, migration, mass development, and symbolic and cultural meaning in architecture.

Parr then examines key challenges to sustainability— waste disposal, disaster relief and environmental refugees, slum development, and poverty.

Summary:
L'Association des Maires de France, Archinov, l'Union sociale pour l'habitat et l'Union Nationale des Syndicats Français d'Architectes ont décidé d'unir leurs forces pour élaborer cet ouvrage collectif pédagogique. Nous avons choisi de montrer quelques réalisations exemplaires qui s'inscrivent dans des contextes variés, village, habitat pavillonnaire, faubourg ou centre-ville. Certaines revisitent avec bonheur les expérimentations d'habitat intermédiaire des années 1970, d'autres s'inspirent du bourg ancien, d'autres encore redonnent une nouvelle vie à un patrimoine délaissé. Toutes placent l'habitant au cœur d'une démarche citoyenne et l'envisagent dans toutes ses dimensions (résident, piéton, promeneur, cycliste, automobiliste). Toutes apportent un soin particulier au traitement des lieux publics, à la place de la voiture, aux espaces de transition entre le public et le privé, aux prolongements immédiats du logement. Toutes favorisent les échanges et la convivialité par des cheminements et des lieux de rencontre. Nous avons souhaité faire de cet ouvrage, un outil pratique favorisant le dialogue entre tous les acteurs du cadre de vie afin de répondre autant aux désirs des habitants qu'aux préoccupations environnementales.
