Summary:
A travers quarante-trois mots et dix maisons, ce livre traite des dimensions pratiques et théoriques de l'architecture naturelle. Celle-ci trouve sa source dans l'enchantement éprouvé dans certains temples d'Extrême-Orient, où l'espace exalte l'union et la communion des hommes avec le monde. Les valeurs de l'habiter, étonnamment oubliées, sont ici illustrées de manière significative par des textes, des croquis et des photos. La rupture entre les oeuvres humaines et la nature, ouverte par l'Occident depuis l'Antiquité jusqu'au Mouvement moderne, est fortement contestée par cet ouvrage qui se présente comme un manifeste alternatif d'architecture contemporaine.

Summary:
Conceived and designed by the Foresight, innovation and incubation team at Arup, the influential consulting firm that advises on all aspects of the built environment, this card set features seven topics that have been chosen as headings for further discussion: energy, waste, climate change, water, demographics, urbanization and poverty. The 189 cards are divided into five domains known as the steep framework: societal, technological, economic, environmental, and political. Each card represents a single driver of change-for instance urban migration, ageing population, austerity-along with a challenging and thought-provoking question. The flip side of the card provides pertinent data to expand on the question, as well as maps, graphs, and other illustrations. An accompanying booklet offers tips on how to use these cards independently or in a group setting. Whether brainstorming for new ideas or facilitating a discussion, these graphically sophisticated cards are an excellent resource for anyone interested in the future of technology, design and sustainability or indeed the way we might live in the years to come.

Summary:
This book gathers a series of design research projects produced in 2007, that investigate alternative ways of constructing our relations with our environment. ‘Environment’ is a nebulous term that often implies ‘nature’. It is implied here too, but only in the sense of the nature of complex, dynamic relations. This includes that ‘other’ called ‘culture’, where we are embedded in environment: ‘we’ as complex sub-entities both distinguishable and inseparable from an encompassing complex, dynamic entity called ‘environment’.

Summary:
In Exceptional Treehouses, author and treehouse builder Alain Laurens reveals 30 gorgeous treehouse structures, 25 of which are entirely new creations, all illustrated with Daniel Dufour’s beautiful watercolors as well as photographs by Jacques Delacroix, commissioned specially for this book. As in his first book, Treehouse Living, Laurens demonstrates his commitment to sustainable building and environmentalism with his designs, all executed with ecological ideals in mind. In 2000 Laurens started his company, La Cabane Perchée, to design and build treehouses around Europe. Each house takes into account the local environment, as well as the tree in which the structure stands, and the photographs show details of how the treehouses are constructed without driving nails into any part of the host tree. Exceptional Treehouses is the perfect inspiration for treehouse lovers, eco-friendly architects, and enthusiastic amateurs
