Résumé:
Aujourd’hui, le bois concerne tous les programmes. Voici donc tous les éléments techniques et réglementaires indispensables aux concepteurs et maîtres d’ouvrage pour construire avec le bois. Une bonne connaissance de la structure du bois, de son comportement, des différentes essences disponibles, des produits dérivés, des lois qui régissent son assemblage et son collage ainsi que des méthodes de protection et d’habillage les plus récentes, constitue un atout décisif pour le développement de l’emploi du bois dans le bâtiment. Avant tout pratique, ce livre illustré consacre d’importants développements aux difficultés propres à la construction en bois et aux précautions de conception et de mise en œuvre dont il faut s’entourer. Un chapitre traite des aspects réglementaires de la construction en bois, notamment de l’eurocode, de la résistance au feu et de la nouvelle réglementation acoustique.

Résumé:
"Green Architecture" is true to its title: Wines presents many examples of environmentally responsible projects with a critical analysis of their salient features. It's also nothing less than an indictment of today's practice of architecture, in which the focus on short-term profits trumps consideration of ecology as motivation for design.

Résumé:
The attention Swiss architecture has received in recent years has mainly focused on a small number of architects whose work has appeared on the covers of the specialized press. Extending throughout the Modern Movement, this is an architecture with its roots in a rich building tradition. In Graubünden, under the attentive gaze of maestro Peter Zumthor, a group of young architects educated at the ETH in Zurich, many of whom are former assistants in Zumthor's studio, demonstrate the extraordinary quality of the architectonic production of this small German-speaking region of Switzerland. These increasingly well-known names present a wide range of projects ranging from single-family houses to apartment blocks, schools, and public and commercial buildings of different sorts, yet with similarities in the way they handle materials and settings, a body of work that transcends the borders of the region and attracts the attention of the international architecture world. The introduction by Daniel Bosshard, Miguel Kreisler, Myriam Sterling and Txell Vaquer places the building tradition of Graubünden in its historical context. The Nexus section features a 1913 text by Adolf Loos called "Rules for Those Building in the Mountains", plus Bruno Reichlin's "When Moderns Architects Build in the Mountains" and an extract from Christoph Schaub's video "The Vrin Project".

Résumé:
Face aux défis environnementaux, économiques et sociétaux, utiliser des matériaux de construction disponibles à portée de main ou juste sous nos pieds offre des solutions techniques vertueuses, inspirées de savoir-faire ancestraux. Cela redonne aussi du sens aux métiers du bâtiment, encourage le développement de filières économiques locales, crée des emplois et ancre à nouveau l’acte de bâtir dans son territoire. MATERIA associe la pierre à la terre et aux fibres végétales, en mettant l’accent sur la réhabilitation du bâti existant. L’ouvrage analyse et documente les 40 projets finalistes du materia award à travers leurs dimensions architecturales, techniques et environnementales. La réduction de l’impact carbone des matériaux, embryonnaire il y a une décennie, est désormais intégrée dans les règlementations. Les filières se structurent, mais surtout, la conscience collective a évolué, notamment chez les étudiants et les nouvelles générations de bâtisseurs. Aspirant à un avenir différent, ils explorent de nouvelles manières de concevoir l’architecture et de la mettre en œuvre. Sensibles à la dimension sociale de l’acte de construire, ils expérimentent des matériaux peu transformés, avec le chantier comme point d’orgue.

Résumé:
How can we design the architecture of metabolism? How can architecture redefine resources, produce nutrients and contribute to regenerate land and protect communities at risk? "Building Metabolism" aims to reveal how architecture constructs, distributes, and leverages power via material recycling, interspecies alliances, biopolitics and excremental processes. This book, stemming from the expanded work produced for the 2022 Tallinn Architecture Biennale—themed EDIBLE and curated by the authors—reimagines the "home" on both domestic and planetary scales as a digestive system, processing human output in its various forms and converting it into actionable resources. This portrayal of the "home" urges readers to look at resources in a visceral way; via the raw ecologies of our bodies and the understanding that the social problems related to climate justice are not simply statistical, abstract, and disembodied. Instead, they are intertwined with our own production and living processes, and they are landed on bodies: on the food we eat, the water we drink, and the air we breathe.

Résumé:
"Trees, Time, Architecture!" marks an evolutionary step from shaping objects towards designing processes. The volume brings together a variety of views on the relationship between trees and architecture, urban spaces, modernism, politics, feminism, and cultural values. This collage of historical, research-based and discourse-related perspectives looks at how trees can be preserved, used, and appreciated in the Anthropocene. It highlights historic examples of growing architecture, such as the living root bridges of the Khasi people in India, the accommodation of trees in urban housing and public spaces, novel approaches to design and construction with living trees, as well as trees as a resource for building material.

Résumé:
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.
