Summary:
Révolution numérique, mondialisation, dérèglement climatique... suscitent un grand désarroi. L'ampleur des défis est inédite. La destruction est en train de l'emporter sur la création. Dans cet ouvrage, Jean Carassus expose que la réorientation radicale de la troisième révolution industrielle passe par une décarbonation massive de l'investissement et la formation des personnes non qualifiées aux métiers de l'investissement décarboné. La décarbonation de l'économie signifie également une profonde transformation des modes de vie. Comment agir ? Contrairement à l'idée dominante, en particulier en France, l'auteur pense que l'Etat n'est pas l'acteur essentiel pour piloter le changement des modes de vie. L'action se situe selon lui dans les territoires, qui sont lieux de vie et espaces de relations entre acteurs mobilisant énergies, compétences et désirs.

Summary:
During a period of three years, Taiyo Onorato and Nico Krebs traveled several months through the United States, working "on the road" on the photo series "The great unreal". The photographic work deals with reality and the fabrication of reality. The geography of America serves as both setting and fertile ground for the examination. Mysticism and demystification are(...)

Summary:
During a period of three years, Taiyo Onorato and Nico Krebs traveled several months through the United States, working "on the road" on the photo series "The great unreal". The photographic work deals with reality and the fabrication of reality. The geography of America serves as both setting and fertile ground for the examination. Mysticism and demystification are important aspects in this process, as is working with a rich inventory of visual icons that can be continually deconstructed and manipulated. The working method of both photographers is based on interventions prescribed mostly by happenstance and change. Through repetition and associative placement, the sometimes crude, sometimes subtle interventions begin to link to one another, establishing an exciting transformation of reality that only hesitatingly reveals itself to the viewer.

Mindfulness is now all the rage.

Summary:
Mindfulness is now all the rage. From celebrity endorsements to monks, neuroscientists and meditation coaches rubbing shoulders with CEOs at the World Economic Forum in Davos, it is clear that mindfulness has gone mainstream. Some have even called it a revolution. But what if, instead of changing the world, mindfulness has become a banal form of capitalist spirituality that mindlessly avoids social and political transformation, reinforcing the neoliberal status quo? In ''McMindfulness,'' Ronald Purser debunks the so-called 'mindfulness revolution,' exposing how corporations, schools, governments and the military have co-opted it as technique for social control and self-pacification. Purser busts the myths its salesmen rely on, challenging the narrative that stress is self-imposed and mindfulness is the cure-all.

Jerome Markson’s nearly six-decade-long architectural practice began in a time of profound transformation during the post-war period.

Summary:
Jerome Markson’s nearly six-decade-long architectural practice began in a time of profound transformation during the post-war period. His buildings were harbingers of important shifts in sociopolitical attitudes, urban policies, and modes of architectural production. From speculative homes in fledgling suburbs, to bespoke private houses, to social housing in downtown Toronto, to luxury landmarks like the Market Square condominiums, as well as important cultural and institutional buildings, his architecture reflects his pursuit of a more open and inclusive expression of modernity, one that moved past late-Modernism's formal legibility in favour of an increasingly idiosyncratic formal, spatial, and material expression. This book is the first comprehensive critical assessment of Markson's diverse body of work, interwoven with an account of Toronto's emergence as a cosmopolitan city.

Les disciplines de la transformation de l’espace sont en première ligne pour orienter nos sociétés, nos villes et nos territoires sur la voie d’un métabolisme décarboné et d’une empreinte écologique globale qui ne dépasse pas les capacités de renouvellement des ressources planétaires. Cette transition, une dynamique engageant une reconsidération fondamentale de nos modes de vies, constitue désormais le dessein premier du projet architectural, urbain et paysager. Quels dispositifs socio-spatiaux, quels processus, quels systèmes, quelles échelles, quelles temporalités, quelles métriques et quelles valeurs ce dernier doit-il recomposer ou réinventer ? Dessiner les nouvelles lignes directrices de la transition, c’est l’objectif qui anime ce livre issu d’une coopération fertile et imaginative entre la Fondation Braillard Architectes de Genève et le Metrolab Brussels.

Summary:
Pairing particular works of art with specific innovations in real estate development, The Speculative City reveals the connections between real estate and contemporary art as they constructed Los Angeles’s present-day cityscape. From banal parking lots to Frank Gehry’s designs for artists’ studios and museums, Newbury examines pivotal interventions by artists and architects, city officials and cultural philanthropists, concluding with an examination of how, in the wake of the 2008 global credit crisis, contemporary art emerged as a financial asset to fuel private wealth and urban gentrification. Both a history of the transformation of the Southland and a forensic examination of works of art, 'The Speculative City' is a rich complement to the California chronicles by such writers as Rebecca Solnit and Mike Davis.

Summary:
The United States Department of Agriculture Pomological Watercolor Collection encompasses 7,497 botanical watercolor paintings of evolving fruit and nut varieties, alongside specimens introduced by USDA plant explorers from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Assembled between 1886 and 1942, the collection's remarkable, botanically accurate watercolors were executed by some 21 professional artists (including nine women). Authored largely before the widespread application of photography, the watercolors were intended to aid accurate identification and examination of fruit varietals, for the nation’s fruit growers. Documenting the transformation of American pomology, the science of fruit breeding and production, and the horticultural innovations accountable for contemporary fruit cultivation and consumption, the USDA’s collection offers fascinating anthropological and horticultural insights concerning the fruits we ecstatically devour, and why.

Since 2005, the acclaimed photographic duo Marchand/Meffre have been traveling across the US to visit these early 20th-century relics. They have captured the architectural diversity of the theaters’ exteriors, from neo renaissance to neo-Gothic, art nouveau to Bauhaus, and neo-Byzantine to Jugendstill. They have also stepped inside to capture the commonalities of a dying culture— crumbling plaster, rows of broken crushed-velvet seats, peeling paint, defunct equipment, and abandoned concession stands—as well as their transformation into bingo halls, warehouses, fitness centers, flea markets, parking lots, and grocery stores.

Summary:
''Climax change!'' offers an overview of how the current environmental emergency will impact the practice of architecture. At a crossroads in which the construction sector and built environment produce nearly 40% of greenhouse gases accountable for global warming, architects are just starting to acknowledge their complicity in an impending disaster. In need of a paradigm shift similar to that of the Modern Movement, architecture desperately requires clear guidelines and targets so as to operate its inevitable transformation towards an ecologically-friendly design logic. From historical analyses of ecocide or the environmental avant-gardes, to topics such as decarbonization, degrowth, the Great Transition and the aspirations of Green New Deals, this book features ten essays around today's climate change debates, bringing them home to architectural thinking.
