Summary:
N’est-ce pas dangereux d’introduire des notions de rationalité économique dans notre approche de la nature ? Ne risquons-nous pas de passer de la monétarisation de ce patrimoine à sa marchandisation ? Et ce débat est-il encore pertinent à une époque où nos rapports avec la nature ont clairement une composante économique ? Les terres, l’eau, les hectares de forêts, les(...)

Summary:
N’est-ce pas dangereux d’introduire des notions de rationalité économique dans notre approche de la nature ? Ne risquons-nous pas de passer de la monétarisation de ce patrimoine à sa marchandisation ? Et ce débat est-il encore pertinent à une époque où nos rapports avec la nature ont clairement une composante économique ? Les terres, l’eau, les hectares de forêts, les mines, ont bel et bien un prix, même s’ils sont des biens communs. Ce livre clarifie les termes d’un débat capital, donne à comprendre la façon dont ces «prix» et ces «coûts» sont calculés, décrit les risques de dérives possibles, expose dans quels cas et sous quelles conditions il est pertinent ou non de donner un prix à la nature.

Summary:
Nature no longer exists apart from humanity. Henceforth, the world we will inhabit is the one we have made. Geologists have called this new planetary epoch the Anthropocene, the Age of Humans. The geological strata we are now creating record industrial emissions, industrial-scale crop pollens, and the disappearance of species driven to extinction. Climate change is(...)

Summary:
Nature no longer exists apart from humanity. Henceforth, the world we will inhabit is the one we have made. Geologists have called this new planetary epoch the Anthropocene, the Age of Humans. The geological strata we are now creating record industrial emissions, industrial-scale crop pollens, and the disappearance of species driven to extinction. Climate change is planetary engineering without design. These facts of the Anthropocene are scientific, but its shape and meaning are questions for politics—a politics that does not yet exist. After Nature develops a politics for this post-natural world.

Summary:
This book compiles the RCR Arquitectes own unique cosmogony: a vision of humans, of nature and life in general that transcends mere architecture. Nature and history is the physical place that has been chosen to develop a space by RCR Arquitectes to conceive and experiment and to rethink man's relationship with the world. This physical space is located in the La Vila, in the Bianya Valley (Catalonia), surrounded by woods, water, farmland, country houses, etc. It's a creative, experimental project, and one that is constantly evolving. Technological advances and innovation are applied on an experiential basis in this landscape. New realities are generated, like the humanitacle, a project about the synthesis of man and the built habitat in relation to the surroundings, nature and technology, and la dona i l 'home nu´vol (cloud woman and cloud man), creative beings par excellence and creators of reality. This book introduces this utopia under construction.

Summary:
Curated by landscape architect Dirk Sijmons, IABR 2014 claims the world’s environmental problems can only be resolved by addressing the problems of the city. Seeking to redefine how we deal with urban challenges by analysing our relationship with nature, it sees the city as an integral part of the urban landscape, a complex system that has become our natural environment. This approach opens possibilities to develop spatial interventions that make use of its metabolism. The work of three IABR project studios is featured, presented alongside essays and information about conferences, lectures and events.
