Summary:
Following her study at the Delft University of Technology, Japanese architect Moriko Kira set up her own practice in Amsterdam in 1996, and has since both worked for the Dutch government and lectured in the Netherlands. Typical of her work is a variation in scale, programme and location, and she has completed projects in different Dutch cities, Belgium, the United Kingdom and Japan. Featured here are a church conversion in Groningen, a cemetery pavilion in Apeldoorn, housing in IJburg, a weekend house in Hakone, and several other projects. Besides the detailed essays by Kira that accompany each of these, Jo Toda also analyses her work and approach in a short text.

Summary:
À travers la loi n° 2015-992 du 17 août 2015 relative à la transition énergétique pour la croissance verte, de nombreux secteurs, et notamment celui du bâtiment, doivent désormais contribuer à l’effort de sobriété et d’efficacité énergétique. Le domaine de la construction représente à lui seul 40 % des consommations d’énergie finale et près de 25 % des émissions de gaz à effet de serre de notre territoire. L’un des défis majeurs de la filière consiste ainsi à renforcer la performance énergétique dans le neuf et la réhabilitation. Richement illustré, cet ouvrage permet de découvrir, analyser et comprendre vingt-huit opérations – maisons, bâtiments, complexes immobiliers, éco-quartiers… – parmi les plus exemplaires en matière de développement soutenable. Reparties en huit chapitres qui représentent autant d’enjeux auxquels devront répondre les stratégies immobilières et territoriales de demain, ces réalisations sont décrites selon une approche tout à la fois socio-économique, architecturale et technique.

Summary:
A monograph on the architectural practice WOHA, known for its environmentally friendly buildings. This first monograph on Singapore-based WOHA uses examples such as open-aired tropical family homes, green permeable high-rises, and a cutting-edge resort on the island of Bali to show how the firm has continued to create innovative, environmentally sensitive structures that blend into their environments, yet maintain aesthetic integrity. Essays in the book explore WOHA's tropical architecture, discuss the Asian understanding of nature, and examine newly designed community spaces. Headed by Wong Mun Summ and Richard Hassell, the practice is making a name internationally for their sophisticated projects, which are presented in this volume. Through numerous illustrations and in-depth essays, this book reveals the innovative, sustainable, and green designs of WOHA.
