Summary:
In this volume of the Critical Spatial Practice series, Dennis Pohl locates the origin of Europe's dependency on carbon and nuclear power in the postwar architectural designs and energy policies of the European Community. Since the 1950s, architects have proposed territorial, regional, and urban development plans that served the European political project. They collaborated with the European Coal and Steel Community in an effort to render the steel building industry as efficient as the car industry; they incorporated the ideas of infinite nuclear energy, as promoted by the European Atomic Energy Community, into their designs. This book demonstrates how architecture served the political economy of postwar Europe as a means of turning coal, steel, and radioactivity into tools of European governance. Architectural design enabled EU institutions to support social policies and worker housing within the coal and steel industry as well as to promote a new pan-European lifestyle based on nuclear energy. In other words, architecture powered Europe's larger infrastructural, economic, and cultural network. Pohl's work not only sheds light on how architecture has contributed to the carbonization of Europe, it also highlights the environmental issue, which challenges both architectural criticism and historiography in the era of the Anthropocene.

Summary:
Le sol est un extraordinaire réservoir de biodiversité : il produit des ressources, stocke du carbone, régule les eaux, apporte des nutriments aux végétaux. Support dynamique, il se transforme sous l'action de l'homme, des écosystèmes, du climat et constitue un allié incontournable pour la préservation des territoires habitables.Pourtant les sols vivants sont encore insuffisamment considérés dans les projets urbains, dans les démarches de planification, et plus largement dans les politiques publiques d'aménagement ou dans les modèles économiques, qui doivent être repensés pour atteindre nos objectifs de sobriété foncière.Tirant parti des retours d'expérience de cinq sites lauréats de « l'Atelier des territoires », piloté par le ministère en charge de l'urbanisme, cet ouvrage rend compte des propositions de territoires pionniers : mutualiser et régénérer les terres excavées en Indre-et-Loire; conforter les structures bocagères dans le Calvados; repenser les modèles de portage foncier en Seine-et-Marne; révéler les trames brunes dans l'Hérault; intégrer la valeur plurifactorielle des sols dans les arbitrages d'aménagement en Guadeloupe, etc.

Summary:
Depuis une dizaine d’années, que ce soit dans les bois de Sivens, à Notre-Dame-des-Landes, à Bure ou dans les Cévennes, il est évident qu’il se passe quelque chose du côté de la forêt. Certains ont commencé à habiter ces espaces, avec la détermination de sortir du monde mortifère de l’économie. Un tout autre rapport au monde s’y bâtit, à l’opposé de cette science militaire qu’est l’aménagement du territoire – ici contre un barrage, là contre un aéroport, ou une extraction de biomasse. Ce n’est pas qu’une affaire locale : les paysans du Guerrero au Mexique se battent depuis plus de dix ans pour libérer leurs forêts des exploitants, les trappeurs du peuple cri du Canada défendent la forêt boréale de Broadback contre la déforestation, les Penan de Bornéo s’arment de sarbacanes contre les compagnies de plantation de palmiers à huile… Partout des luttes résonnent de cette même idée : la forêt n’est pas une réserve de biosphère ou un puits de carbone.

Summary:
Net zero energy buildings, equilibrium buildings or carbon neutral cities - depending on location and the reasons for making the calculation, the numbers are run differently. The variety of terms in use indicates that a scientific method is still lacking - which is a problem not just in regard to international communication, but also with respect to planning processes as a response to energy challenges. The clarification and meaning of the most important terms in use is extremely important for their implementation. Since October 2008, a panel of experts from an international energy agency has concerned itself with these topics as part of a project entitled Towards Net Zero Energy Solar Buildings. The objective is to analyse exemplary buildings that are near a zero-energy balance in order to develop methods and tools for the planning, design and operation of such buildings.
