Summary:
A paradigm shift is roiling the environmental world. For decades people have unquestioningly accepted the idea that our goal is to preserve nature in its pristine, pre-human state. But many scientists have come to see this as an outdated dream that thwarts bold new plans to save the environment and prevents us from having a fuller relationship with nature. Humans have(...)

Summary:
A paradigm shift is roiling the environmental world. For decades people have unquestioningly accepted the idea that our goal is to preserve nature in its pristine, pre-human state. But many scientists have come to see this as an outdated dream that thwarts bold new plans to save the environment and prevents us from having a fuller relationship with nature. Humans have changed the landscapes they inhabit since prehistory, and climate change means even the remotest places now bear the fingerprints of humanity. In this publication, Emma Marris argues convincingly that it is time to look forward and create the "rambunctious garden," a hybrid of wild nature and human management.

Summary:

Norman's "Edible Park" was developed using the principles of permaculture, a form of vegetable gardening in which different plants are combined in such a way that they complement one another's needs as they grow. More than just a gardening model, permaculture is a nature-based design philosophy that can be used as a guide for architecture, product design and to improve society in general. In Edible Park, Norman explains his methods, his sources of inspiration and the artistic and social-critical context around his work.

L’architecte Nicolas Gilsoul nous offre un bestiaire érudit et original des animaux peuplant nos villes. Une manière de nous reconnecter au vivant, pour dessiner de nouvelles perspectives sur l’art de concevoir la ville de demain avec le génie animal. La moule zébrée va-t-elle sauver New York ? Le scorpion terroriser les habitants de São Paulo ? Les kangourous s’ébattre dans la forêt de Rambouillet ? Savions-nous seulement que ces bêtes vivaient si près de chez nous ? En pleine crise de la biodiversité, nos villes semblent devenir des jungles hybrides où se croisent plus de créatures que dans nos forêts. Certaines ont muté, leurs comportements se sont transformés. La souris de Brooklyn résiste aux polluants lourds, l’escargot d’Amsterdam combat l’îlot de chaleur urbain, l’hirondelle de la Côte Est réduit sa voilure pour éviter les gratte-ciels. Au travers de 1 001 histoires de bêtes de villes, l’architecte Nicolas Gilsoul nous offre un bestiaire érudit de nos territoires et nous incite à nous reconnecter au vivant. En chemin, il dessine de nouvelles perspectives sur l’art de concevoir la ville avec le génie animal. À l’évidence, observer des bêtes, ça rend intelligent.
