Summary:
Americans spend, on average, 90 percent of their lives indoors, with two-thirds of that time spent in their homes. Globally, the construction and maintenance of residential buildings account for a staggering portion of carbon emissions. In this timely and fascinating work, architect and urban-planning scholar Stefan Al deftly weaves together archaeology, engineering, social history, and environmental science to explain how our homes have developed through the ages and in turn shaped civilization and the planet itself. From tiny pit-houses in the Levant and Mesoamerica thousands of years ago to soaring skyscrapers in Dubai, New York, and Shanghai today, ''Dwelling on Earth'' takes readers on a swift and absorbing tour of the evolution of human habitation. Whisking readers from ancient Pompeii to contemporary Hong Kong, industrial-age Liverpool to postwar Levittown, Al shows how our choices in housing have both reflected and affected ideas about gender roles, privacy, and comfort. Discover how seemingly mundane elements—like door-knockers and corridors—have altered everyday interactions, and how material choices have remade the planet's surface. He also confronts the darker side of domesticity, exposing the unintended consequences of our architectural choices across millennia, including smoke-filled Neolithic dwellings, deadly fires in crowded Roman apartment buildings, and worsening social isolation in car-dependent suburbs. Finally, he examines the myths and reality of future housing, including 3D-printed homes and space architecture built by robots.

Summary:
In his writings, architect Kas Oosterhuis bridges the gap between theory and practice. His observations are based on the principle of concrete science fiction. He is convinced that every construct - hardware or software - that can be formulated as a consistent set of rules is realizable within the social constraints of our present-day culture.

Summary:
In his writings, architect Kas Oosterhuis bridges the gap between theory and practice. His observations are based on the principle of concrete science fiction. He is convinced that every construct - hardware or software - that can be formulated as a consistent set of rules is realizable within the social constraints of our present-day culture. In his essay 'Space_Time_Volume' Kas Oosterhuis places himself in the local and temporary delamination point between the micro- and macroworlds. He speculates on a seamless continuity of these worlds where the instrumental human position is only one of many possible positions. Our perception of the universe is based on observations made by instruments. Language is seen as such an instrument. In 'Wild Bodies' Oosterhuis asserts that all true architecture inevitably will be programmed to perform in real time. This point of view is based on the observation that traditional fixed and static architecture is a highly unlikely state among all possible ones. An architectural construct is regarded as a body with real-time behaviour that is always in motion. Computer programs speak the new instrumental language in which potential new worlds are described. 'Automotive Styling' declares the human driver of the automobile to be the voluntary prisoner of the physical car-road communications network. In 'Vectorial Bodies' the human driver is nothing less than fuzzy software programming the car to lead it to his destinations. There is no place for romantic ideas such as freedom of movement, but there is the overwhelming desire of carbon-based life forms to exchange data with industrial and digital life forms.

Summary:
Une exploration pionnière de l'évolution des fonctions fondamentales des écrans dans l'histoire (du corps comme proto-écran aux dispositifs portables d'aujourd'hui), de leurs implications anthropologiques et philosophiques, et de leur impact profond sur la culture humaine, offrant un récit éloquent sur notre réalité médiatisée. Les écrans ne se limitent pas à montrer ou cacher : depuis la préhistoire, ils servent d'intermédiaires dans notre relation au monde en protégeant autant qu'en exposant nos corps. À travers une enquête historico-généalogique et une analyse aussi bien des technologies présentes que du futur proche, les auteurs déconstruisent l'idée selon laquelle les écrans seraient inséparables des images, que celles-ci s'opposeraient aux mots, ainsi que ce qu'ils nomment idéologie de la « Transparence 2.0 », à savoir la prétention de pouvoir éliminer toute médiation tant en communication qu'en politique. Ils montrent également que les technologies portables ne nous rapprochent nullement d'une supposée disparition des écrans, mais semblent plutôt dessiner un quasi-retour à l'utilisation de notre corps, cette fois-ci « augmenté », comme écran. Cela soulève de nouvelles questions relationnelles, éthiques et politiques, que le livre contribue à éclairer.
