Summary:
Construire des bâtiments tout en favorisant la biodiversité: utopie ou réalité ? Ce deuxième guide de la collection Natureparif, destinée aux acteurs économiques et aux décideurs, se propose de répondre à cette question. A l'heure où le secteur de la construction se tourne vers l'efficacité énergétique, la biodiversité est la grande oubliée. Elle connaît pourtant sa sixième crise d'extinction et notre avenir est lié à son maintien. En choisissant de traiter une à une les étapes d'un projet: la conception, la construction, l'exploitation, la fin de vie et la rénovation, sous la forme de fiches techniques, Natureparif offre des pistes pour concilier développement économique et amélioration de la biodiversité, grâce aux regards croisés de différents acteurs: urbanistes, architectes, entreprises du BTP, bailleurs sociaux, paysagistes, écologues ou élus.

Summary:
Comment le projet urbain peut contribuer à faire la ville durable. Face aux peurs liées aux dérèglements environnementaux, aux crises économiques et sociales, le renouveau des projets urbains est un message d'espoir. Ce livre présente des projets urbains innovants qui dessinent une nouvelle donne, renouent avec des savoirs anciens, mettent des techniques en constante progression au service des projets et assument un rôle croissant de la société civile. Affrontant le triple défi de la connaissance, de l'engagement politique et de l'évolution comportementale et démocratique, les projets urbains, qui savent établir des liens entre les hommes, les espaces et les fonctions, sont capables d'anticiper l'avenir et d'oeuvrer à une meilleure équité sociale et territoriale.

$32.95
(available to order)
Summary:
ENERGYCITY is an experimental process of new energy scenarios in the architecture and public space of Pescara. It is a reflection on the development of urban communities and territorial changes caused by an increase in energy "consumers"in a different interpretation of the polycentric urban context, within which one has the greatest concentration of activity and human presence.

Summary:
It is said that the history of modern architecture can be observed through the evolution of the single-family home. Over generations, each has hoped to improve on the last, rethinking and reinventing this seemingly simple building type. At certain historic moments in the discourse, new ideas about domesticity have given form to radically different configurations of home and community. Current emphasis on sustainability presents a unique opportunity to design affordable houses that respond to specific economic, social, and environmental challenges. In From the Ground Up, editor Peggy Tully presents the results of an international competition to create new models for affordable high-performance green homes in urban residential neighborhoods. Developed for a vacant infill site in Syracuse's Near Westside, these ambitious projects offer an array of innovative designs that provide a new vision for once-vital urban residential neighborhoods and well-designed energy-efficient homes throughout the United States. From the Ground Up includes topical essays by series editor Mark Robbins, architect Michael Sorkin, and architectural historianSusan Henderson.
