Summary:
The number one cause of global warming is architecture - the buildings. Buildings are responsible for 40% of the Co2 that is emitted into the atmosphere. The architects must take this responsibility and move from geopolitics towards biosphere politics. This publication is a real test of how this can be achieved.

Summary:
The number one cause of global warming is architecture - the buildings. Buildings are responsible for 40% of the Co2 that is emitted into the atmosphere. The architects must take this responsibility and move from geopolitics towards biosphere politics. This publication is a real test of how this can be achieved. The context for the intervention is an existing historic building in Barcelona, the Centre of Arts Santa Monica; a building to explore the Third Industrial Revolution as the potential of a transformation towards an empathic architecture. Nature should let us show the path. Cloud 9 equipped the trees in front of Arts Santa Monica with sensors that capture data on temperature, humidity and light energy to inform the building. The intervention is an installation on the facade that produces energy from the environment, like the sun and wind. It is an additional skin which allows control of natural light and regulates solar radiation.

Summary:
La région Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur connaît d'importantes mutations énergétiques. Le développement de l'électricité verte à partir des ressources locales bouleverse une culture jusqu'alors fortement centralisée de la production d'énergie. Se basant sur deux exemples, celui des centrales photovoltaïques au sol et celui du développement d'une filière bois énergie dans la forêt méditerranéenne, cet ouvrage interroge les impacts sociaux et territoriaux des expérimentations en cours. Au-delà des aberrations de tel ou tel projet, sans doute inévitables, ce livre met en évidence la multiplication des formes d'expérimentation et en tire les premiers enseignements. Quel que soit l'exemple choisi, il démontre que la transition énergétique qui s'esquisse doit être aujourd'hui accompagnée. Les auteurs montrent, par-delà les discours manichéens, des pro ou des anti, qu'il n'existe pas de solution miracle, mais des projets localisés à construire patiemment tant l'énergie est un enjeu qui nous concerne tous.
