This book is about the process that creates the global urban periphery – suburbanization – and the ways of life – suburbanisms – we encounter there. Richly detailed with examples from around the world, the book argues that suburbanization is a global process and part of the extended urbanization of the planet.

Summary:
This book is about the process that creates the global urban periphery – suburbanization – and the ways of life – suburbanisms – we encounter there. Richly detailed with examples from around the world, the book argues that suburbanization is a global process and part of the extended urbanization of the planet. This includes the gated communities of elites, the squatter settlements of the poor, and many built forms and ways of life in-between. The reality of life in the urban century is suburban: most of the earth's future 10 billion inhabitants will not live in conventional cities but in suburban constellations of one kind or another.

Summary:
If you were asked to close your eyes and envision where you are happiest, would you picture somewhere inside a building? North Americans are inside buildings for more than 90% of the day. Meanwhile, the indoors are stifling us, sometimes even killing us. Buildings, and the materials that make them up, expose us to materials linked to negative health impacts. The construction and operation of buildings is responsible for 40% of climate-changing carbon emissions. In the US, the design choices made by the typical architecture firm employee each year can reduce emissions by about 300 times that of an average American. But the promise of sustainable architecture will not be realized if sustainability remains a secondary consideration for architects. What if great design were defined by its ability to cool the planet, heal communities, enhance ecological functioning, and advance justice? In "People, planet, design," architect Corey Squire builds the case, provides the data, and lays out the practical tools for a transformative human-centered architecture. This approach integrates beauty and delight with an awareness of how every design choice impacts the community, the planet, and the people who will use the building. Outcome-focused with a deep dive into practical design strategies, the book showcases ten building systems that embody design excellence.

Summary:
Since the 1960s, the increasingly evident degradation of the planet has brought a new urgency to much new art and architecture. This book is the first publication to gather together artists from this period and onward, who have created utopian works and devised inspiring solutions for our planet. Radical Nature draws on ideas that have emerged from Land art, environmental activism, experimental architecture and utopian thought—ideas that propose a new “radical nature” to reconcile the earth's needs with those of humankind. Works by pioneering figures such as the architectural collective Ant Farm, visionary architect R. Buckminster Fuller and artists Joseph Beuys, Agnes Denes, Hans Haacke and Robert Smithson are presented alongside works by a younger generation including Simon Starling, Luke Fowler, R(n) and Philippe Rahm.

Dans ce livre magnifiquement illustré par Valentine Plessy, Marie-Monique Robin dévoile la beauté et l’extraordinaire inventivité des animaux qui, partout sur notre planète, jouent un rôle essentiel pour préserver les conditions de vie de tous les organismes – du plus petit au plus grand. Or un million d’espèces sont menacées d’extinction, dont un quart des mammifères, un sixième des oiseaux et un tiers des amphibiens. Cette détérioration de l’environnement est aussi à l’origine de l’émergence de maladies infectieuses, appelées « zoonotiques ». S’appuyant sur des données scientifiques rigoureuses, Ces animaux qui nous protègent révèle que la biodiversité – animale, végétale et microbienne – est le berceau de la santé planétaire.
