Summary:
Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal are known for an architecture that privileges inhabitants freedom and pleasure through generous, open designs. The Paris-based architects opened their 2015 lecture at Harvard University with a manifesto: study and create an inventory of the existing situation; densify without compressing individual space; promote user mobility, access, choice; and most importantly, never demolish. Freedom of Use reflects on these core values to present a fluid narrative of Lacaton and Vassal s oeuvre, articulated through processes of accumulation, addition, and extension. The architects describe built and unbuilt work, from a house in Niger made of little more than branches; to the expansive Nantes School of Architecture; to a public square in Bordeaux where, after months of study, their design solution was: do nothing.

Summary:
Si le XXIe siècle semble encore très dépendant du pétrole, l'« huile de roche » est pourtant d'un usage très ancien. Sumériens et Indiens d'Amérique la connaissaient, et Dieu lui-même aurait conseillé à Noé de s’en servir pour son Arche. Souvent au mépris du droit, de la paix et de la démocratie, le dernier siècle a quant à lui prouvé notre addiction à l'égard d'un(...)

Sumériens et Indiens d'Amérique la connaissaient, et Dieu lui-même aurait conseillé à Noé de s’en servir pour son Arche. Souvent au mépris du droit, de la paix et de la démocratie, le dernier siècle a quant à lui prouvé notre addiction à l'égard d'un carburant inégalé. Or face aux nouveaux impératifs écologiques, l'impossible d'un mix énergétique idéal nous oblige à repenser les rouages politique, économique, industriel et fiscal en amont et en aval de son extraction. S'ouvrant sur une étude du cas saoudien, premier producteur mondial dans une région très instable, c'est à une socio-anthropologie que se prête ici Alain Gras. Alain Gras est professeur émérite à l’Université de Paris-1 Panthéon-Sorbonne.

Summary:
The ranchers who resettled BC's interior in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries depended on grassland for their cattle, but in this they faced some unlikely competition -- from grasshoppers and wild and feral horses. With the help of the government, settlers resolved to rid the range of both. Resettling the Range explores the ecology and history of the grassland and the people who lived there by looking closely at these eradication efforts. In the claims of "range improvement" and "rational land use," author John Thistle uncovers more complicated stories of marginalization: the destruction of wild horses worked to dispossess aboriginal people and discredit their claims to land and resources, while the campaign to exterminate grasshoppers exposed long-standing class conflicts and competing versions of resettlement among immigrant ranchers. When settlers and governments separated environmental issues from their social and ecological contexts, they not only made their problems worse in many cases, but also created new ones that no one anticipated. This unconventional history examines the implications for humans and nature alike, in the process revealing a fascinating -- and troubling -- chapter of BC history.
