Summary:
A quoi ressemblera notre futur ? Nous savons déjà qu'il ne pourra se construire dans la continuité de notre présent, car les ressources planétaires s'épuisent bien plus vite que nous ne leur laissons le temps de se régénérer. L'architecte visionnaire bruxellois Luc Schuiten estime que nous avons peut-être trop vite oublié que nous sommes avant tout des êtres biologiques installés sur une planète elle-même vivante. A travers différentes perspectives futuristes et évolutives, se construit progressivement un monde cohérent et poétique faisant appel à l'imaginaire. Les propositions originales présentées et les visions d'un avenir positif se déclinent à travers la création d'une nouvelle relation entre l'homme et son environnement naturel. Ces représentations d'un futur s'inspirant de multiples écosystèmes sont étayées par la collaboration étroite que l'artiste entretient avec les biologistes de l'association de Biomimicry Europa.

Summary:
Christophe Hutin observe les shacks, modestes baraques en bois et tôles, qui, sans être un modèle d'habitat, sont le reflet d'un projet réel d'existence et enseignent un rapport à l'acte de construire libre et désinhibé. Cette expérience, recueillie par Patrice Goulet, l'amènera à construire autrement en France.

Summary:
This book is an account of the nexus between place and power, investigating how the built forms of architecture and urban design act as mediators of social practices of power. Explored through a range of theories and case studies, this examination shows how lives are 'framed' within the clusters of rooms, buildings, streets and cities. These silent framings of everyday life also mediate practices of coercion, seduction and authorization as architects and urban designers engage with the articulation of dreams; imagining and constructing a 'better' future in someone's interest.
