Summary:
Le changement climatique et l'épuisement des ressources provoqueront des crises toujours plus dramatiques si nous ne réagissons pas très rapidement. La bonne nouvelle, c'est que des solutions existent et qu'elles n'ont rien de punitif : elles peuvent au contraire nous permettre de vivre mieux.

Le changement climatique et l'épuisement des ressources provoqueront des crises toujours plus dramatiques si nous ne réagissons pas très rapidement. La bonne nouvelle, c'est que des solutions existent et qu'elles n'ont rien de punitif : elles peuvent au contraire nous permettre de vivre mieux. Engager la transition écologique, ce n'est pas proposer un simple verdissement du système actuel, c'est adopter un nouveau modèle économique et social, rompant avec la dictature du PIB. Un modèle qui renouvelle nos façons de consommer, de produire, de travailler, de vivre ensemble.

Summary:
This small volume accompanies the exhibition of the same name celebrating the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the Regional Funds for Contemporary Art at the FRAC Centre in Orléans. Conceived by architect Bernard Tschumi as a series of manifestoes on the city and the most radical post-war, contemporary architecture, it gathers together notable and lesser-known artists and architects who at some point have made a proclamation – a vision of the city and of architecture – in an attempt to illustrate the process of this new and experimental discourse. In this way, the book narrates the logical assertion that architecture, before becoming forms, is about ideas.

Encounters with art engage various conditions of interiority whether through psychic spaces or specific physical environments such as museums and private residences. The exhibition If you lived here, you d be home by now, presented at the Hessel Museum of Art, CCS Bard, was the catalyst for this anthology. The first in a series titled CCS Readers, this volume provides a paradigmatic case study for probing issues of the personal and subjective experience within realms of the sociological, political and cultural. Features commissioned essays, conversations and talks, historical writings and artistic projects from such intellects as Anni Albers, Moyra Davey and Virginia Woolf to establish the notion of self, society and the contemporary art world.

Summary:
This book examines the possibilities for scaling design solutions to address global warming. Global warming poses new challenges to the architecture, landscape architecture, and urban design communities. The immediate response has been a turn toward a host of energy-saving technologies. What has rarely been addressed, however, is the problem of scale. How can designers make sure that global solutions do not come at the expense of local cultures and environments? By placing human rational, emotional, technological, and social needs at the center of our environmental concerns, this book proposes a new global design initiative. The aim is to develop a language of design that can create proximity between individual responsibility and the current global environmental crisis. These featured projects showcase leading-edge design innovations at multiple scales. Global Design directors Peder Anker, Louise Harpman, and Mitchell Joachim discuss various ways in which design can reformat the unfortunate separation between humans and the natural world.

Summary:
Depuis environ trois quarts de siècle, et en particulier à partir des années 1960, les archéologues ont entrepris des fouilles dans toutes les régions des Amériques susceptibles de révéler des traces laissées par cette occupation française. Toutefois, les résultats de ces recherches archéologiques demeurent trop souvent confinés dans des écrits et rapports techniques difficilement accessibles au grand public - et même aux chercheurs. Marcel Moussette et Gregory A. Waselkov proposent donc une synthèse de la recherche archéologique accomplie sur le vaste territoire de l'Amérique coloniale française qui couvre l'Acadie et Terre-Neuve, le Canada, le Pays d'en Haut et le Pays des Illinois, la Louisiane, les Antilles et la Guyane.

Summary:
This monograph of work and projects by Venezuelan-born, Swiss-based architect Christian Kerez seeks to elucidate his particular approach, which emphasises how architecture does not exist in and of itself, but is rather a reflection of a practice of questioning, and of working with the unexpected. At its core, the things we take for granted must be seen again, in a new light. Architecture critic Erwin Viray delves into this kind of reasoning in a conversation with Kerez, while the book beautifully presents examples of his designs, among them, a high-rise in Zhengzhou, the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, social housing in Paraisópolis and a school building in Munich.
