Summary:
Montée des eaux, pénurie en eau potable, disparition inquiétante de la faune et de la flore... : "La maison brûle ! " Si ce cri d'alerte date déjà de 2002, nous n'avons plus le temps "de regarder ailleurs". Il est urgent pour notre survie de changer dès maintenant nos modes de vie qui offensent la Terre et de les mettre enfin en cohésion avec l'ensemble des écosystèmes. Dans cette course effrénée contre la montre, quel rôle peut jouer l'architecture ? Comment construire peut-il signifier instaurer une nouvelle relation de l'homme à la planète ? Pour sa 8e édition, le concours Mini Maousse s'engage dans cette réflexion en appelant les jeunes créateurs à concevoir une aquabane : une petite cabane (moins de 50 m2) flottant entre deux rives, qui soit respectueuse de l'environnement et de ses usages. Inscrites dans le champ plus large de constructions contemporaines réalisées sur l'eau, ces créations invitent l'architecture à prendre le large, à imaginer de nouvelles voies pour l'habitat de demain : face à la maison qui brûle pourquoi pas une maison qui flotte ?

Summary:
An Exploration into Material, Physiological and Territorial Atmospheres. Energy and sustainability is a complex topic that needs to address simultaneously core disciplinary values and ideas that come from other fields of knowledge. The interconnection between the environment and its climate, its built structures and the human body requires overlying architecture with other disciplines such as meteorology, thermodynamics or physiology to engage them in a holistic way.

Summary:
In Bangladesh, climate change causes frequent flooding, forcing countless people to find new homes. In response, Bangladeshi architect Marina Tabassum (born 1968) and her team have developed the Khudi Bari (small house): a low-cost structure that can be assembled, disassembled, transported and reassembled in another location by the inhabitants themselves. This publication contains texts, photographs and illustrations of a Khudi Bari erected on the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein, Germany, as an example of a concrete response to problems exacerbated by the climate crisis. Says Tabassum: "Inspiration for this mobile house is rooted in the vernacular style of dwelling that can be found in Bangladesh. These structures are created in the manner of a flatpack system and are generally built along the majestic Padma, Jamuna and Meghna rivers. The houses have a wooden frame structure and corrugated metal facades and roofs, which can be dismantled and relocated in the aftermath of riverbank erosion and reassembled by their owners once they have found a new place to build."
