Summary:
Ongoing use of fossil fuels, the development of industrial zones in city centers, and even our growing reliance on air conditioners have led to extreme climate swings. Now an urgent public concern, global warming alarms ever more people—and yet most of them still hesitate to identify a workable plan of action. Approaching the problem head-on, "Solar Guerilla" highlights a(...)

Summary:
Ongoing use of fossil fuels, the development of industrial zones in city centers, and even our growing reliance on air conditioners have led to extreme climate swings. Now an urgent public concern, global warming alarms ever more people—and yet most of them still hesitate to identify a workable plan of action. Approaching the problem head-on, "Solar Guerilla" highlights a number of programs, architects, and companies that are already active in such cities as Chicago, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Tel Aviv. In a series of case studies, this book focuses on efficient strategies implemented at the local level, where collaboration within communities may be the key to effectively combating environmental damage. As companies like China’s Turenscape and Israel’s Electreon thrive alongside programs such as Chicago’s Third Nature approach to its famous riverwalk, the local efforts begin to yield global results. As "Solar Guerilla" demonstrates, these and other initiatives may be the best way to counter the emotional fatigue and physical disasters that currently plague us in our all-too-rapidly-changing urban environment.

Summary:
En 1961, quand le président Kennedy a lancé le projet d’envoyer des astronautes américains sur la Lune dans un délai de dix ans, on ne savait trop comment un tel objectif pourrait être atteint. L’essentiel, c’était de damer le pion à l’Union soviétique. Avec beaucoup d’argent, d’énergie et de créativité, les États-Unis ont fini par réussir cet exploit scientifique, avec(...)

L’essentiel, c’était de damer le pion à l’Union soviétique. Avec beaucoup d’argent, d’énergie et de créativité, les États-Unis ont fini par réussir cet exploit scientifique, avec des retombées auxquelles nul ne se serait attendu. Encore aujourd’hui, une part disproportionnée des prix Nobel de sciences revient chaque année à des Américains, en grande partie parce que leur pays a décidé de se rendre sur la Lune avant les Russes voilà plus d’un demi-siècle. Décider de relever le défi du changement climatique entraînera toutes sortes de retombées bénéfiques inattendues. C’est ce que l’histoire nous apprend.

Summary:
The history of climate change and the history of architecture are connected in many ways. Through a multilayered chronology, "It’s About Time" showcases historical and contemporary building projects such as solar houses, autonomous structures and earth buildings, alongside more than 45 key moments in environmental justice history: among them the first Earth Day, the United Nations conference in Stockholm, the Chernobyl disaster, the Paris Climate Agreements and the European Green Deal. It explores architectural experimentation in the past, depicts the present moment of transition and offers hopeful glimpses of the future. Serving as both a reference and a source of inspiration, this publication is intended for architects, educators, students, scientists or anyone looking to play their part in shaping a more sustainable world. It emphasizes that while the time for change has now arrived, the field of architecture can play a key role in the transitions ahead.
