Summary:
For more than 20 years the French duo Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal have pursued a unique approach to housing that integrates outdoor areas modelled on the winter garden. Their projects are open to the climate, transparent, and permeable, designed to work with rather than against climate. This book is the first scientific study of the thermal performance of winter gardens in residential constructions, showing their potential and effectiveness via selected projects of Lacaton: from their first house, Latapie, to a recently completed apartment and office tower in Geneva.

Summary:
We are living in the Anthropocene—an era of dramatic and violent climate change featuring warming oceans, melting icecaps, extreme weather events, habitat loss, species extinction, and more. What will life be like in a climate-changed world? In ''Tomorrow’s parties,'' science fiction authors speculate how we might be able to live and even thrive through the advancing Anthropocene. In ten original stories by writers from around the world, an interview with celebrated writer Kim Stanley Robinson, and a series of intricate and elegant artworks by Sean Bodley, ''Tomorrow’s parties'' takes rational optimism as a moral imperative, or at least a pragmatic alternative to despair. In these stories—by writers from the United Kingdom, the United States, Nigeria, China, Bangladesh, and Australia—a young man steals from delivery drones; a political community lives on an island made of ocean-borne plastic waste; and a climate change denier tries to unmask ''crisis actors.'' Climate-changed life also has its pleasures and epiphanies, as when a father in Africa works to make his son’s dreams of ''Viking adventure'' a reality, and an IT professional dispatched to a distant village encounters a marvelous predigital fungal network. Contributors include Pascall Prize for Criticism winner James Bradley, Hugo Award winners Greg Egan and Sarah Gailey, Philip K Dick Award winner Meg Elison, and New York Times bestselling author Daryl Gregory.

Summary:
Alors que le monde entre dans une polycrise sans précédent, l'urgence climatique doit être abordée de front. 11 brefs essais pour la justice climatique démontre que la crise du climat est celle de l'immigration, du capitalisme sauvage, des génocides. La révolution sera intersectionnelle ou ne sera pas. Des forêts sacrées aux ruelles de Montréal, en passant par l'Abitibi-Témiscamingue et par tous les champs de boue et de sable empoisonnés du pays, des voix s'élèvent et des mains se nouent. Les savoirs de différents groupes sont mis en communs, un réseau se tisse pour permettre à l'idée d'un nouveau monde de naître. Les auteurices de ce collectif se retrouvent pour parler de justice, pour haranguer la population, pour l'inviter, ardemment, à les rejoindre. Fortes d'amour et de révolte, les activistes qui signent ce livre refusent d'abandonner le monde aux mains de ceux qui le détruisent.

Summary:
Le changement climatique n’est plus une menace abstraite, aux conséquences lointaines : en France, il impacte désormais nos vies et nos biens. Sécheresses, inondations, péril sur l’eau et les constructions, disparition des forêts, érosion des côtes, etc. Malgré ces faits avérés, on ne recense aucune véritable stratégie coordonnée entre les acteurs concernés – État, collectivités territoriales, associations, entreprises, organismes de recherche, etc. Dès à présent, il s’agit de concevoir un plan de bataille, d’oser des réglementations efficaces et de bâtir des infrastructures adaptées. En s’appuyant sur les connaissances et projections scientifiques les plus récentes, Quentin Ghesquière et Damien Desbordes nous démontrent que l’on peut ne plus subir.
