Summary:
Parce qu’il s’est immiscé dans les moindres recoins des sociétés contemporaines, le capitalisme a bouleversé le visage des villes telles que nous les connaissons. La concentration de la population mondiale dans des agglomérations désormais gérées comme des entreprises fait de la construction de l’espace urbain un observatoire privilégié tant des logiques managériales et financières que de la production des inégalités sociales et spatiales. De l’adaptation au changement climatique à la Smart City en passant par le zonage logistique et l’économie de plateformes, cette encyclopédie critique propose une cartographie inédite de la ville contemporaine, qui invite concevoir l’espace comme un rapport social et donc comme un lieu de lutte. Présentant de riches enquêtes empiriques menées aux quatre coins du globe, ses entrées exposent de manière thématique les principaux enjeux auxquels sont confrontées des populations marginalisées à la fois d’un point de vue matériel et dans les processus de décisions qui affectent leur vie quotidienne. La démarche suivie, qui associe à ce réquisitoire implacable l’esquisse systématique de voies alternatives, argumente de manière actuelle et accessible en faveur de la défense renouvelée d’un « droit à la ville ».

Summary:
Bringing together real-world examples, "Architecture and energy" offers starting points for how to approach construction today and into the future. The energy requirements of buildings are enormous, resulting in a significant proportion of global carbon dioxide emissions, both in the construction phase and during the building’s use and eventual demolition.

Summary:
Bringing together real-world examples, "Architecture and energy" offers starting points for how to approach construction today and into the future. The energy requirements of buildings are enormous, resulting in a significant proportion of global carbon dioxide emissions, both in the construction phase and during the building’s use and eventual demolition. In an era of energy transition and extreme weather phenomena, the question of how we build in a time of climate change becomes all the more urgent. A sustainably-built wood and concrete supermarket that includes a roof farm, a kindergarten constructed from locally sourced recycled materials, renovating an office building so that it can remove its air conditioning and ventilation systems: in addition to the choice of materials and innovative operating concepts, the possibilities for reducing emissions and energy requirements lie above all in thinking about the entire life cycle of a building, including refurbishing rather than new construction when possible. This volume presents international best-practice projects characterized by sustainable design and provides forward-looking answers.

Summary:
Increasingly and forebodingly, contemporary artists are turning their attention to the subject of climate change, in poignant and often confrontational ways. "The edge of the Earth: climate change in photography and video" explores recent and historic work in the context of present-day environmental concerns, considering the future consequences of the age of the anthropocene, and humanity's harsh imprint on our planet. "The edge of the Earth" accompanies a major exhibition at the Ryerson Image Centre in Toronto, and includes works by pioneering and renowned artists such as Edward Burtynsky, Naoya Hatakeyama, Richard Misrach and Robert Rauschenberg; critical propositions on present situations by Chris Jordan, Gideon Mendel and Brandi Merolla; plus visionary works by Jean-Pierre Aube, Adrien Missika, Evariste Richer and Andreas Rutkauskas. Photojournalism from the RIC s Black Star Collection is also included, contextualising artistic reflections within half a century of historical reportage on the environment. Produced as a large-format book with high-quality reproductions throughout, "The edge of the Earth" includes critical texts by Benedicte Ramade and TJ Demos and an introduction by Paul Roth. This critical overview offers the insight of artists into the present climate crisis, with the motive of prompting reconsideration of our increasingly perilous relationship to our planet.
