Summary:
Qu’est-ce qui fait qu’un tas de pierres devient un édifice? Qu’est-ce qui donne de l’identité à la ville? Comment le temps construit-il du sens? Comment se forme la personnalité du paysage construit? Cet ouvrage répond à ces questions en explorant les façons et les raisons de débusquer et d’interpréter la production de l’identité dans notre environnement. De l’île d’Orléans à Barcelone, des villas bretonnes aux églises converties et des politiques d’art public aux expositions universelles, on suit la fabrication de l’originalité, volontaire ou fortuite, pour découvrir ses impulsions et ses transformations, ses architectes et ses représentations au fil de l’histoire. On découvre ainsi comment on a, en art, en architecture ou en patrimoine, créé de la culture.

Sustainability is the key criterion in this field, and ecologically sound solutions for the designs of homes are the key challenge (homes the most commonly built structure). Ecological Living assesses a selection of some recently built(...)

Summary:
The pioneers of ecological architecture today are necessarily researchers as much as architects, in any conventional sense of the term. Sustainability is the key criterion in this field, and ecologically sound solutions for the designs of homes are the key challenge (homes the most commonly built structure). Ecological Living assesses a selection of some recently built ecological habitats, collecting several built examples from a variety of French architects, examining precursors such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Alvar Aalto and Pierre Lajus, plus proposals for European architects and architecture students and inquiries into the ecological viability of detached housing and tower blocks.

Summary:
Ce livre donne la parole à des architectes, artistes, paysagistes et théoriciens de l'art qui ont expérimenté la possibilité de rencontres et croisements entre cinéma, arts technologiques et architecture. Comment, dans la porosité des arts, les arts technologiques et le cinéma peuvent-ils transformer le projet territorial en un processus pluriscalaire indissociable de la société dont il émane et à laquelle il s'adresse? Comment la pensée des territoires peut-elle participer au renouvellement des arts technologiques ? Les enjeux politiques et écologiques des territoires nous forcent à inventer des stratégies de projets originales pour susciter de nouveaux imaginaires, tout en travaillant au plus près de la vie et du réel.
