Earlier in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Pettena’s experiments in material transformations helped create some of the architect’s most iconic works. Staged in an abandoned school and in a nondescriptive suburban house, and titled Ice House I and II, Pettena would pour water into the mold works he created around the buildings’ perimeter walls.

Summary:
The Return of Nature asks you to critique your conception of nature and your approach to architectural sustainability and green design. What do the terms mean? Are they de facto design requirements? Or are they unintended design replacements? The book is divided into five parts giving you multiple viewpoints on the role of the relations between architecture, nature, technology, and culture. A detailed case study of a built project concludes each part to help you translate theory into practice. This holistic approach will allow you to formulate your own theory and to adjust your practice based on your findings. Will you provoke change, design architecture that responds to change, or both?

Summary:
Défendre une architecture du bien commun, signifie interroger le bâtiment mais aussi les conditions de son édification, les pratiques spatiales, l’usage social, l’attachement au lieu. En s’appuyant sur des exemples oasiens au Maroc, l’ouvrage développe une réflexion critique qui s’attache à corriger une certaine idée de la modernité afin de définir les conditions d’une nouvelle régulation de la production architecturale dans un contexte de forte contrainte environnementale. Il s’agit donc de dépasser l’esthétique de l’héritage et interroger plutôt son capital de résilience. C’est cette dynamique constante de l’adaptation qui est en souffrance aujourd’hui et qu’il faut réactiver pour sortir du tout-béton destructeur des potentiels environnementaux et sociétaux.

Summary:
Heat | Cool offers strategies for an energetically sensible and suitable approach to building conditioning as well as its design and constructional integration. In addition to building and facilities services, it places special emphasis on construction and design measures. How much the building itself can achieve in the context of the given climatic, topographical, and town planning framework conditions and to what extent additional installations are required for conditioning, which construction measures are appropriate for which types of tasks within a sustainable and integrated planning approach - all of these topics are discussed on the basis of project examples. The book highlights both the currently available heating, ventilation, and cooling systems as well as the supporting aspects of material properties and the building lifecycle, thus enabling the reader to make a balanced and well - informed selection.
