Summary:
A quoi ressemblera notre futur ? Nous savons déjà qu'il ne pourra se construire dans la continuité de notre présent, car les ressources planétaires s'épuisent bien plus vite que nous ne leur laissons le temps de se régénérer. L'architecte visionnaire bruxellois Luc Schuiten estime que nous avons peut-être trop vite oublié que nous sommes avant tout des êtres biologiques(...)

A quoi ressemblera notre futur ? Nous savons déjà qu'il ne pourra se construire dans la continuité de notre présent, car les ressources planétaires s'épuisent bien plus vite que nous ne leur laissons le temps de se régénérer. L'architecte visionnaire bruxellois Luc Schuiten estime que nous avons peut-être trop vite oublié que nous sommes avant tout des êtres biologiques installés sur une planète elle-même vivante. A travers différentes perspectives futuristes et évolutives, se construit progressivement un monde cohérent et poétique faisant appel à l'imaginaire. Les propositions originales présentées et les visions d'un avenir positif se déclinent à travers la création d'une nouvelle relation entre l'homme et son environnement naturel. Ces représentations d'un futur s'inspirant de multiples écosystèmes sont étayées par la collaboration étroite que l'artiste entretient avec les biologistes de l'association de Biomimicry Europa.

Summary:
The Green Building Bottom Line puts an entire development team at the table to better understand both the issues encountered and what's behind the perceived price premium for building green. This candid and transparent account explores every aspect of green development on groundbreaking projects, from the nation's first all-retail LEED core and shell project to an innovative multitenanted LEED-Existing Buildings office project, to a mixed-use hotel-retail-condo project in a transitional urban market. The authors focus on such issues as values, culture, life-cycle costs, insurance, financing, coordinating a team, marketing, and negotiating leases.

Summary:
In Emerald Cities, Joan Fitzgerald shows how in the absence of a comprehensive national policy, cities like Chicago, New York, Portland, San Francisco, and Seattle have taken the lead in addressing the interrelated environmental problems of global warming, pollution, energy dependence, and social justice. Cities are major sources of pollution but because of their population density, reliance on public transportation, and other factors, Fitzgerald argues that they are uniquely suited to promote and benefit from green economic development. For cities facing worsening budget constraints, investing in high-paying green jobs in renewable energy technology, construction, manufacturing, recycling, and other fields will solve two problems at once, sparking economic growth while at the same time dramatically improving quality of life. Fitzgerald shows which strategies will be most effective according to each city's size, economic history, geography, and other unique circumstances. But cities cannot act alone, and Fitzgerald analyzes the role of state and national government policy in helping cities create the next wave of clean technology growth.

Summary:
Ensuring that buildings are healthy and comfortable for their occupants is a primary concern of all architects and building engineers. This highly practical handbook will help make that process more efficient and effective. It begins with a guide to how the human body and senses react to different indoor environmental conditions, together with basic information on the parameters of the indoor environment and problems that can occur. It then moves on to give a background to the development of the study and control of the indoor environment, examining the main considerations (including thermal, lighting, indoor air and sound-related aspects) for a healthy and comfortable indoor environment and discussing the drivers for change in the field. The final section presents a new approach towards health and comfort in the indoor environment, where meeting the wishes and demands of the occupants with a holistic strategy becomes the over-riding priority. The book is filled with useful facts, figures and analysis, and practical methods that designers who are keen to assess and improve the user experience of their buildings will find invaluable.

Summary:
In today's changing world, architects and engineers must address issues of sustainability when designing buildings, homes and urban developments. Through groundbreaking architecture, innovative urban planning and social engagement, the awareness of how sustainable architecture can make an environmental impact are becoming increasingly grounded in public consciousness. Like its successful predecessor, Architecture of Change: Edition 2010 presents an unrivaled collection of the most innovative architecture projects that make a considerable contribution to a brighter future. Over forty exemplary projects by internationally renowned architecture practices such as Pritzker Architecture Prize winners Renzo Piano and OMA founder Rem Koolhaas are profiled with the newly built California Academy of Sciences and the master plan for a wind farm in the North Sea. From a zero emission ice station facility in Antarctica to the High Line public promenade in Manhattan, the book represents a broad range of environmentally mindful concepts that are not only outstanding in their architectural form but are also devoted to regional environmental and social conditions as well as their global impact.

Summary:
A celles et ceux qui pensent que le solaire est une solution individuelle d'avenir, ce livre donne toutes les explications pour passer à la pratique de façon simple. Quatre grandes thématiques de l'énergie solaire sont traitées ici : Le chauffage de l'eau sanitaire par énergie solaire; La cuisson solaire des aliments; Le séchage solaire des fruits et légumes; L'électricité photovoltaïque indépendante du réseau. Pour chacune de ces approches, trois bricolages d'une complexité croissante sont proposés sous la forme de "pas à pas" clairement expliqués et illustrés de nombreux schémas techniques, photos pratiques et dessins humoristiques. Cet ouvrage n'a pas vocation à être exhaustif quant à toutes les possibilités de l'énergie solaire. Il vise surtout à présenter des applications utiles et éprouvées, faciles à mettre en oeuvre chez soi par soi-même, au moindre coût.

Tools for the Design Revolution critically examines the history and influences on current designs trends, giving practical guidelines and tools for creating sustainable design processes into the future. The 'tools' are strategies for sustainable design informed by the challenges of social, cultural and ecological change. Finding new design ideas in terms of concept and product is becoming more and more important. In the past, design was dictated by the professional minority within narrow confines. In the future, design will be an expression of the collective, finding expression and meaning within a shared identity, social trends and popular culture and terms like "cradle to cradle" or "open source design" refer to a changing understanding of the creative process.
