Pour répondre à cette nouvelle échelle de projet, les architectes, les ingénieurs et les urbanistes ont dû développer des systèmes de construction, de préfabrication et des techniques de planification, de même qu'ils ont forgé des utopies pour repenser l'environnement humain. En dressant un état des lieux de ces architectures en France, en Allemagne et en Suisse, ce livre revient sur le rôle des utopies, sur la production de masse et propose une analyse des enjeux et des paradoxes liés aujourd'hui à cet héritage complexe et à sa sauvegarde.

Summary:
"Housing should be seen as a process, and not as a product." The book deals with the issue of sustainability in a planning context but also analyses a building's usage and ageing over its 'life cycle'. A system of criteria specially developed in an accompanying research project can be used to compare and evaluate buildings, and as a tool for optimising the sustainability of buildings in development during the planning process. By contrast, most existing sustainability systems are conceived not as design and planning tools, but as instruments for evaluating finished buildings and completed planning. 15 practical examples explain the ways in which these criteria and other aspects of sustainable building can be implemented in sophisticated architecture and how these can then be experienced.
