Summary:
In "Dwelling in resistance", Chelsea Schelly examines four alternative U.S. communities-"The Farm," "Twin Oaks," "Dancing Rabbit," and "Earthships"-where electricity, water, heat, waste, food, and transportation practices differ markedly from those of the vast majority of Americans. Schelly portrays a wide range of residential living alternatives utilizing renewable, small-scale, de-centralized technologies. These technologies considerably change how individuals and communities interact with the material world, their natural environment, and one another. Using in depth interviews and compelling ethnographic observations, the book offers an insightful look at different communities' practices and principles and their successful endeavors in sustainability and self-sufficiency.

Summary:
The sensing, processing, and visualizing that are currently in development within the environment boldly change the ways design and maintenance of landscapes are perceived and conceptualised. This is the first book to rationalize interactive architecture and responsive technologies through the lens of contemporary landscape architectural theory. 'Responsive Landscapes' frames a comprehensive view of design projects using responsive technologies and their relationship to landscape and environmental space. Divided into six insightful sections, the book frames the projects through the terms; elucidate, compress, displace, connect, ambient, and modify to present and construct a pragmatic framework in which to approach the integration of responsive technologies into landscape architecture.

« Nous évoluons sur une planète ronde, tout ce qui nous entoure est curviligne, je ne vois pas pourquoi nous devrions nous détacher ainsi de notre espace environnant, nous planquer derrière des lignes droites et des angles vifs qui ne correspondent à rien.

Summary:
« Nous évoluons sur une planète ronde, tout ce qui nous entoure est curviligne, je ne vois pas pourquoi nous devrions nous détacher ainsi de notre espace environnant, nous planquer derrière des lignes droites et des angles vifs qui ne correspondent à rien. La nature sculpte des designs parfaits, en évoluant sur des millions d'années, en se modifiant, en s'adaptant. Regardez le requin, sa forme n'a pas changé depuis des millions d'années... elle est parfaitement adaptée au milieu aquatique, on ne peut rêver mieux. Plus la technologie avancera, plus les formes rejoindront celles de la nature. Une observation attentive de l'évolution sur ces dernières années vous le confirmera. » (L.C) Au-delà du Bio design et dans la tourmente d'une société “post-industrielle” qui cherche ses recherches, Luigi Colani a inventé une dimension inédite : celle du “design voltairien”.
