Summary:
In this wide-ranging Very Short Introduction to climate, Mark Maslin considers all aspects of the global climate system, exploring and explaining the different components that control climate on Earth. He considers the processes that allow energy to reach the Earth and how it is redistributed around the planet by the ocean-atmosphere system; the relationship and differences between climate and the weather; how climate has affected life on Earth and human settlements; and the cyclic and quasi-cyclic features of climate such as the Milankovitch cycles and El Nino. He concludes by touching on the issue of climate change, and outlines some of the approaches that are now being taken to tackle it.

Summary:
In a very short time America has realized that global warming poses real challenges to the nation's future. "The Agile City "engages the fundamental question: what to do about it? Journalist and urban analyst James S. Russell argues that we'll more quickly slow global-warming -and blunt its effects- by retrofitting cities, suburbs, and towns. "The Agile City" shows that(...)

Summary:
In a very short time America has realized that global warming poses real challenges to the nation's future. "The Agile City "engages the fundamental question: what to do about it? Journalist and urban analyst James S. Russell argues that we'll more quickly slow global-warming -and blunt its effects- by retrofitting cities, suburbs, and towns. "The Agile City" shows that change undertaken at the building and community level can reach carbon-reduction goals rapidly. Russell highlights tactics that create multiplier effects, which means that ecologically driven change can shore-up economic opportunity, can make more productive workplaces, and can help revive neglected communities.

Summary:
Architecture, as a living organism, establishes a relationship between beings and their environment, where the notions of energy, breathing and light are the vectors for the conception of spaces. For Serero, ?architecture should reach the minimum impact on its local environment and aims to vanish and resiliate in nature. The work rethink architecture and shifts away its(...)

Summary:
Architecture, as a living organism, establishes a relationship between beings and their environment, where the notions of energy, breathing and light are the vectors for the conception of spaces. For Serero, ?architecture should reach the minimum impact on its local environment and aims to vanish and resiliate in nature. The work rethink architecture and shifts away its permanent condition towards a transient and ephemeral one, with greater spatial versatility and multiplying the potential usage to propose an open architecture. This book reveals 3 profound transformations of recent architecture: the digital revolution and its impact on creative work in all conceptual aspects, the emergence of an internet of energy ?that buildings will contribute to create to share energy, and the profusion of new usage of private and public spaces, both collaborative and connected, creating an interstitial experience of spaces ?between the physical and the virtual.

Summary:
As climate change increasingly emerges as a critical and prominent concern for modern society, the design field has actively responded by deeply engaging with the complex social, political, and cultural transformations that are anticipated as a direct result of this ongoing crisis. Furthermore, there has also been a significant expansion in the diverse range of climate-informed design explorations, moving well beyond merely the technical aspects of sustainability. ''The Climate Imaginary'' showcases an extensive global collection of innovative works that reflect this rich diversity. This pluralism resonates powerfully with the various disruptions that are set to impact every single aspect of our lives. The widespread and far-reaching consequences of this pressing emergency open up numerous subjects and themes for designers to explore creatively.
