Summary:
Capital’s voracious appetite forces architecture into a regime of "never enough." The current realities of building involve extraction and exploitation, which, in turn, cause climate breakdown, environmental ruin, alienated labor conditions, and the destruction of local construction knowledge. But what if we could do architecture differently? What does non-extractivist(...)

Summary:
Capital’s voracious appetite forces architecture into a regime of "never enough." The current realities of building involve extraction and exploitation, which, in turn, cause climate breakdown, environmental ruin, alienated labor conditions, and the destruction of local construction knowledge. But what if we could do architecture differently? What does non-extractivist architecture look like? In this book, Angelika Fitz and Elke Krasny introduce the concept of abundance to call for a paradigm shift in architecture. Using as its example the exceptional work of architect Anupama Kundoo, this book shows that non-extractivist and non-exploitative architecture is undeniably possible. Kundoo, born in Pune, India, weaves together innovative technological experimentation and traditional crafts. With careful consideration of local resources, building skills, climate, and environment, she makes buildings that embody spatial beauty and graceful materiality.

Summary:
Jeanne Gang, one of America’s most distinguished contemporary architects, proposes applying the plant cultivation technique of grafting to architecture and urban design as a way of rethinking adaptive reuse and combatting climate change. Grafting is the process of connecting two separate living plants—one old and one new—so they can grow and thrive as one. This ancient(...)

Summary:
Jeanne Gang, one of America’s most distinguished contemporary architects, proposes applying the plant cultivation technique of grafting to architecture and urban design as a way of rethinking adaptive reuse and combatting climate change. Grafting is the process of connecting two separate living plants—one old and one new—so they can grow and thrive as one. This ancient practice continues to be performed today in search of more fruitful, palatable, and resilient varieties of plants. Grafting is also a useful paradigm for how architecture can address climate change on a broadly impactful scale by reusing and expanding older structures. Addressing both the environmental and cultural value of reuse, Gang shows how the concept of grafting can inform architecture across many scales, provoking the imagination and shaping tectonic, programmatic, formal, and regenerative adaptations.

Summary:
"This system is killing us" is an insider look at the catastrophic effects that energy infrastructure and mining are having on communities and our planet. Xander Dunlap spent a decade living and working with Indigenous activists and land defenders across the world to uncover evidence of the repression people have faced in the wake of untamed capitalist growth. By centring the struggles of people whose lives are being systematically destroyed, Dunlap reveals gaps within the current official debates around climate change. This includes reviewing feuds between socialist modernism and degrowth. While changing public policy could play a constructive role in remediating climate catastrophe, by understanding the successes and failures of those "on the front lines," it becomes clear that ecologically decentralized self-organization could be the only way out of this environmental nightmare.

Summary:
Heritage occupies a privileged position within the built environment. Most municipalities in the United States, and nearly all countries around the world, have laws and policies to preserve heritage in situ, seeking to protect places from physical loss and the forces of change. That privilege, however, is increasingly being unsettled by the legacies of racial, economic, and social injustice in both the built environment and historic preservation policy, and by the compounding climate crisis. Though many heritage projects and practitioners are confronting injustice and climate in innovative ways, systemic change requires looking beyond the formal and material dimensions of place and to the processes and outcomes of preservation policy—operationalized through laws and guidelines, regulatory processes, and institutions—across time and socio-geographic scales, and in relation to the publics they are intended to serve.

Summary:
Un changement de paradigme dans la pratique du projet d’urbanisme paysager s’opère actuellement dans un contexte d’urgence climatique : l’acclimatation en est le nouveau modèle. De ce paradigme, des échantillons de formes spatiales émergent et parmi celles-ci, celui de trame fraîche acclimatée. Cette forme de composition offre un contrepoint aux générations précédentes des trames vertes et bleues (TVB). Face au réchauffement climatique, nous franchissons une nouvelle étape, où la question essentielle concerne la convergence entre la recherche, les orientations stratégiques en matière d’atténuation et d’adaptation et les moyens de mise en œuvre possibles dans l’activité de projet d’urbanisme paysager. En prenant comme cas d’étude Lausanne, ce livre tente de répondre à ce défi en réfléchissant à l’implantation au sein de cette ville d’une trame de fraîcheur. L’ouvrage se structure en trois parties qui donnent toutes des outils réplicables dans d’autres contextes, pour d’autres territoires vulnérables : Une lecture cartographique et statistique des formes environnementales lausannoises et une analyse bioclimatique inédite; L’élaboration d’une base conceptuelle et de visions prospectives en 2030 puis 2050 pour accompagner l’installation de la trame de fraîcheur;Un zoom sur une expérience de requalification d’espace public en cours afin de préfigurer l’implantation de dispositifs d’écologie urbaine. Cette dernière partie interroge le processus de projet en donnant la parole aux experts de la ville de Lausanne, et présente un catalogue de références recensant de multiples expériences internationales achevées et sources d’inspiration.
