How might nanotechnology—the manipulation of matter at the level of atoms and molecules—change buildings and cities in the future? The authors of Barba have imagined one possible future, shaped by a miraculous nanomaterial of the same name, which can be steered and altered in real time, changing its shape and size at will.

Summary:
How might nanotechnology—the manipulation of matter at the level of atoms and molecules—change buildings and cities in the future? The authors of Barba have imagined one possible future, shaped by a miraculous nanomaterial of the same name, which can be steered and altered in real time, changing its shape and size at will. With Barba, the authors speculate, the built environment can be adapted almost immediately to every desire and every need. This volume, the latest in The Why Factory’s Future Cities series, envisions the dramatic potential of nanomaterial to change cities and architecture in the not-so-distant future, further explored in a series of interactive experiments and installations. Part speculative architecture, part science fiction, Barba follows an inhabitant of this flexible future world for a day, daring the reader to imagine life in a fully adaptable environment.

Summary:
The Earth has entered a new epoch: the Anthropocene. What we are facing is not only an environmental crisis, but a geological revolution of human origin. In two centuries, our planet has tipped into a state unknown for millions of years. How did we get to this point? Refuting the convenient view of a “human species” that upset the Earth system, unaware of what it was doing, this book proposes the first critical history of the Anthropocene, shaking up many accepted ideas: about our supposedly recent “environmental awareness,” about previous challenges to industrialism, about the manufacture of ignorance and consumerism, about so-called energy transitions, as well as about the role of the military in environmental destruction. In a dialogue between science and history, The Shock of the Anthropocene dissects a new theoretical buzzword and explores paths for living and acting politically in this rapidly developing geological epoch.

Summary:
Pour réussir «le Petit-Champlain», traduction populaire de The Little-Champlain qui a un temps désigné la petite rue Champlain, il fallait de l’audace et du génie. Gerry Paris et Jacques de Blois n’en manquaient pas. De tous les projets de rénovation, restauration ou mise en valeur qu’a connus le Québec depuis un demi-siècle, aucun n’a reposé sur autant de talent et d’engagement personnel. En 1976, les gouvernements du Québec et du Canada avaient acquis l’essentiel de la zone portuaire du Vieux-Québec. Tout ce que les gouvernements avaient ensuite su faire, c’était démolir et reconstruire lentement à grands frais. La vie avait quitté ce quartier. Le verdict était tombé: il deviendrait un quartier-musée. Des maisons étaient conçues pour le plaisir des yeux. Elles étaient sans fonction, sans utilité et trop chères pour être habitées par les derniers résidents du quartier. Comme tous les centres-villes, celui de Québec était à l’agonie et le Vieux-Québec avait déjà rendu l’âme. Peu à peu, l’hémorragie a été ralentie. Les villes ont commencé à écouter leurs urbanistes. Les promoteurs ont commencé à copier des modèles vus à l’étranger. À cet égard, de Blois et Paris font figure de pionniers. Comme ils aiment le dire: ils avaient un rêve, ils l’ont réalisé.Selon les idées reçues, les gens du privé sont là pour s’enrichir et ceux du public, pour veiller à l’intérêt commun. Dans le cas du «Petit-Champlain», de Blois et Paris ont tiré leur révérence au bout de leur santé. Faut-il chercher des coupables? De Blois n’en cherche pas. Il prend acte tout simplement. Dans une langue de conteur, enrichie par ses talents d’architecte et d’artiste, il nous fait partager une merveilleuse aventure. Il fait réfléchir aussi.
