Summary:
In contrast to a decade ago, when ecological architecture was considered a luxury, it has now become essentially impossible to build without considering sustainability issues. Aspects of ecological balance have become an important part in the planning and construction process. In recent years, a canon of standard methods and possibilities has emerged to achieve this goal of environmentally friendly architecture. However, there are architects whose ideas and techniques for sustainable buildings go beyond the standards that have now been established such as the LEED rating system and are sometimes also mandatory. This publication discusses such new and innovative solutions for ecological construction. The author presents projects from all over the world that stand out from the standard measures and concepts and point the way to the future.

Summary:
In this book, Brenna Bhandar examines how modern property law contributes to the formation of racial subjects in settler colonies and to the development of racial capitalism. Examining both historical cases and ongoing processes of settler colonialism in Canada, Australia, and Israel and Palestine, Bhandar shows how the colonial appropriation of indigenous lands depends upon ideologies of European racial superiority as well as upon legal narratives that equate civilized life with English concepts of property. In this way, property law legitimates and rationalizes settler colonial practices while it racializes those deemed unfit to own property. The solution to these enduring racial and economic inequities, Bhandar demonstrates, requires developing a new political imaginary of property in which freedom is connected to shared practices of use and community rather than individual possession.

Summary:
Energy performance feedback is an essential tool in addressing the current climate crisis. However, this is not simply another theoretical text about energy performance in buildings. This book is for anyone who wants to better understand how energy is used in buildings, and how to drive down operational energy use – whether you’re an architect, student, client, building services engineer, contractor, building operator or other stakeholder. Focusing on evidence from feedback on buildings in use, it explains what it takes to get them to perform as expected, as well as the reasons why they often fail. "Energy, people, buildings" draws extensively on the findings of studies, UK government-funded building performance evaluations and on original research into seven case studies from across the UK and abroad that have achieved exemplary energy use through building performance feedback. Providing a clear roadmap to understanding aspects that impact building users’ comfort and satisfaction, it also outlines the factors behind energy use and how to track it across the life of a project to ensure that your building performs as intended.

Summary:
Earth, in common use for architectural construction for thousands of years, has in the past thirty years attracted renewed attention as a healthy, environment-friendly and economical building material. What needs to be considered in this context? The manual "Building with earth", which has been translated into many languages, describes the building technology of this material. The physical properties and characteristic values are explained in a hands-on manner: With proper moisture protection, earth buildings are very durable, and in particular the combination with wood or straw allows a wide spectrum of design options. Numerous built examples demonstrate the range of applications for this fully recyclable material.

Well-being in a building depends on a number of factors. Visuals, ventilation, heat, cooling and acoustics are all key. Its efficiency relates not only to the design of a building; it can also be optimized and automated using the latest technologies and innovative environmentally friendly low-tech solutions. To build upon and add to the successful ''Modern construction handbook,'' Andrew Watts details innovative and established examples of interior design in ''Modern environmental design.'' These are presented with the aid of texts, drawings, and 3D renderings.

Summary:
Ephemeral phenomena like fire, precipitation, shade, and wind have emerged as important contemporary protagonists for environmental design due to their dynamic impact on buildings and cities. The importance of including these forces in architecture has gained rapid momentum in the global quest for sustainability. This book investigates the history, theory and applications of climatic design in the built environment examining architecture and landscapes from various time periods. "Dry", "Wet", "Cool" and "Hot" divide the book into categories through which a wide array of representational topics are covered —from dust storms and clouds, to ice and bushfires. A concluding section presents project examples for exploratory application in the design of architecture.

Au printemps 2017, des résident.e.s de Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie, à Montréal, décident de se réapproprier le terrain vague situé à l'extrémité de leur ruelle verte pour en faire un jardin en permaculture et un espace de rencontre. Partage des savoir-faire horticoles, fabrication d’accessoires en matériel recyclé, organisation d'événements socioculturels, gestion des relations avec le voisinage... Au fil du temps, le Carré Casgrain devient une véritable communauté! Pour les membres du collectif, c'est aussi l'occasion d'expérimenter un fonctionnement horizontal, centré sur l’autonomie et la collaboration. Ils en viennent même à jouer – sans l'avoir cherché! – le rôle de représentant.e.s du quartier auprès des institutions locales, notamment dans le dossier du garage de la Société de transports de Montréal, rue Bellechasse. Trois chercheuses en sciences sociales retracent l'aventure du Carré Casgrain et la trajectoire de ses membres, à travers les témoignages d'Hélène, Alex, Hélia, Claude, Camille, Adeline, Charlotte et des deux Fabien. Elles réfléchissent aux motivations qui poussent des citoyen.ne.s à s'investir dans des projets de verdissement et aux nouvelles formes d'engagement politique qu'ils suscitent. Illustrée par Emanuelle Dufour, cette histoire sous le signe de la convivialité pourrait bien inspirer d'autres initiatives citoyennes.
