Summary:
Net zero energy buildings, equilibrium buildings or carbon neutral cities - depending on location and the reasons for making the calculation, the numbers are run differently. The variety of terms in use indicates that a scientific method is still lacking - which is a problem not just in regard to international communication, but also with respect to planning processes as(...)

Summary:
Net zero energy buildings, equilibrium buildings or carbon neutral cities - depending on location and the reasons for making the calculation, the numbers are run differently. The variety of terms in use indicates that a scientific method is still lacking - which is a problem not just in regard to international communication, but also with respect to planning processes as a response to energy challenges. The clarification and meaning of the most important terms in use is extremely important for their implementation. Since October 2008, a panel of experts from an international energy agency has concerned itself with these topics as part of a project entitled Towards Net Zero Energy Solar Buildings. The objective is to analyse exemplary buildings that are near a zero-energy balance in order to develop methods and tools for the planning, design and operation of such buildings.

In The Sympathy of Things, Lars Spuybroek argues that we must "undo" the twentieth century - the age in which the eighteenth-century ideal of the Sublime became a technological reality.

Summary:
In The Sympathy of Things, Lars Spuybroek argues that we must "undo" the twentieth century - the age in which the eighteenth-century ideal of the Sublime became a technological reality. Spuybroek returns to the insights of the great nineteenth-century art writer John Ruskin, for whom beauty always comprises variation, imperfection and fragility. Spuybroek argues that these three concepts not only define relations between humans and their designed products but between all things: "sympathy is what things feel when they shape each other." Spuybroek then compares five twinned themes in Ruskin - the Gothic and work, ornament and matter, sympathy and abstraction, the picturesque and time, ecology and design - with later philosophers and theorists such as William James and Bruno Latour.

In a very short time America has realized that global warming poses real challenges to the nation's future. "The Agile City "engages the fundamental question: what to do about it? Journalist and urban analyst James S. Russell argues that we'll more quickly slow global-warming -and blunt its effects- by retrofitting cities, suburbs, and towns. "The Agile City" shows that change undertaken at the building and community level can reach carbon-reduction goals rapidly. Russell highlights tactics that create multiplier effects, which means that ecologically driven change can shore-up economic opportunity, can make more productive workplaces, and can help revive neglected communities.

Summary:
Cette publication propose une synthèse des aspects fondamentaux du travail de Le Corbusier – théoricien, artiste, architecte – dont les apports ont été déterminants pour la conception des lieux d’exposition au XXème siècle. A travers un parcours chronologique et thématique, le catalogue présente les étapes les plus significatives de la recherche et création d’un nouvel espace architectural, en même temps plastique et sensoriel, lié à la phénoménologie du dynamisme perceptif. Le Corbusier expose, montre ainsi le rapport entre les recherches plastiques de Charles-Edouard Jeanneret – le nom de naissance de Le Corbusier, celui-ci étant son pseudonyme – et l’intégration progressive dans son oeuvre d’éléments de la perception de l’espace en tant que catégorie plastique. Un ensemble d’oeuvres précoces unit ces deux pôles: la maison de l’artiste apporte les données initiales, l’existence d’une collection d’art moderne fonde le nouvel art d’habiter, l’expérience du pavillon d’exposition suscite la recherche d’un programme d’aménagement intérieur minimum où l’oeuvre plastique et la peinture murale constituent le point de départ, le musée étant le véritable programme de l’architecture moderne. Jeanneret, le peintre, a choisi un processus d’exposition expérimental tout au long de sa vie de créateur, en partant d’une activité critique et développant une série de propositions très originales pour la présentation de ses oeuvres plastiques, que ce soit des affiches, des lithographies, des dessins, des sculptures ou des tapis, et surtout ses tableaux.
