Résumé:
French designer and self-taught architect Jean Prouvé applied manufacturing techniques to the world of art and design, while also maintaining a social consciousness that informed his commissions. His commitment to “logic, balance and purity” led him to create standardized, affordable furniture and portable, packable houses: most notably the Maison Tropicale for use in France’s African colonies. Despite the overtly industrial aspects of his oeuvre, Prouvé’s work is admired and collected the world over for its graceful yet utilitarian simplicity. Constructive Imagination unites over 100 pieces of Prouve’s emblematic furniture and architectural works, bolstered by sketches and other archival material. The glossy bilingual volume includes five unpublished essays on Prouvé, including one by former Museum of Modern Art, New York curator Juliet Kinchin.

Résumé:
Produit de mécanismes économiques et d’un faisceau de décisions locales et individuelles, le logement porte la marque des tensions et contradictions sociales. Quels besoins ? Dans quels territoires ? Comment y répondre ? Que proposent les aménageurs et acteurs de la fabrique urbaine pour produire des logements à l’heure de l’urgence climatique ? Le respect de la biosphère, l’attention portée aux évolutions sociodémographiques en cours et la considération due à la matrice urbaine historique nous conduisent à réparer plutôt qu’à étendre nos villes. « Réparer et Construire, » parce que le « déjà là » est considérable et constitue un gisement à exploiter pour offrir des logements. Mais il est souvent déprécié et inadapté. Sa transformation doit donc mobiliser toute la chaîne d’actions depuis la requalification du bâti et de son cadre urbain, la transformation et le recyclage de certains bâtiments, la démolition et la reconstruction, jusqu’à la construction neuve dans le respect du ZAN (zéro artificialisation nette).

Résumé:
Sediment is an unseen infrastructure that shapes and enables modern life. Silt is scooped from sea floors to deepen underwater highways for container ships. It is diverted from river basins to control flooding. It is collected, sorted, managed, and moved to reshape deltas, marshes, and beaches. Anthropogenic action now moves more sediment annually than "natural" geologic processes — yet this global reshaping of the earth’s surface is rarely-discussed and poorly-understood.

Résumé:
Various things related to traditional Japanese architecture and everyday life are the focus of this illustrated guide. Interestingly, it is intended not only for English readers but also Japanese people who would like to be able to better explain certain things to people from outside their country. A huge number of items, objects, materials, structures, decorative elements, and so on that one encounters while visiting or living in Japan, but might be too obscure or specific to remember the names, or to even imagine from the term, are included in an accessible and very informative format. For each, the Japanese name, English name, and pronunciation are accompanied by an explanation.

Called Far South, the section observes contemporary architecture and criticism in South America by a generation that Solares calls "equidistant from the modernist ethos of previous generations while also distancing itself from a more radical critical approach that leans toward an ‘anthropologization’ of architecture."

Être rural, c’est tendance? À la fois politique, économique, social, écologique et démocratique, le sujet des ruralités fait un véritable retour en force. Il est au cœur de quelques-unes des questions les plus débattues du moment, de l’exode urbain au culte de la nature en passant par le réchauffement climatique, la souveraineté, l’isolement ou encore les déserts médicaux. Aussi, alors que de nombreuses initiatives émergent pour les penser et les vivre dans le futur, cet ouvrage met à l’honneur les ruralités en mobilisant quelques-uns de leurs acteurs les plus engagés.
