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.

Summary:
This book considers the possibilities of organizing societies and economies around solar energy, and the challenges of a just and equitable transition away from fossil fuels. Far from presenting solarity as a utopian solution to the climate crisis, it critically examines the ambiguous potentials of solarities: plural, situated, and often contradictory.

Summary:
Log 19 investigates the reemergence of questions such as what role can or should architecture play in society. The parametric is alternatively valorized and disavowed; the ultimate consequences of climate change and environmental catastrophe are raised; and a new course for architecture is found in Badiou’s philosophy and Finnish architecture.

Summary:
This volume presents essays, stories, research and photographs showing how African cities by waterfronts deal with two of the most significant trends of our time: urbanization and a changing climate. On the African continent, the impact of climate change is now an everyday reality. Coastal and waterfront cities in particular experience loss and damage due to significant increases in sea level rise, rainfall and flooding. At the same time, Africa is the second most rapidly urbanizing continent (after Asia). The intersections between water and cities are therefore critical for understanding the future of urban and rural developments in Africa. Through deeper understanding of the innovative and resourceful way of life of informal water communities such as Makoko and coastal cities such as Abidjan, "African water cities" reveals key factors, challenges and opportunities shaping human, physical and economic dynamics.
