Résumé:
Do you know how to design for a circular economy? A truly sustainable, circular economy is both a robust and viable option for architecture. Through 24 inspirational case studies, interviews and essays, this book is an accessible and practical guide to how architects can move from a linear economy towards a circular economy. This atlas to sustainable, closed-loop systems takes the reader on a journey through four distinct steps (Recycle, Reuse, Reduce, Circular Economy) that show how they can dramatically reduce the negative impact humans have on the planet. It gives architects the skills and knowledge to navigate through the emerging fields of resource management towards a true Circular Economy. Each step is supplemented with an in-depth interview with an expert who is successfully tacking one or more of the challenges facing all designers today. If we change our behaviour, we enable humanity to work with nature rather than against it.

Résumé:
There is a creative explosion of work taking place in architecture and design schools exploring materials such as mycelium, clay/earth, engineered timber, bio-based plastics and algae. This handbook of low- and no-carbon materials for architects and designers focuses on sustainable materials, their sourcing, technical properties and the processes required for their use in architecture. The book showcases new and rediscovered processes for material fabrication, responsible sourcing and creative material design. Material properties (structural, thermal, fire, health and life safety) are described and case studies from around the world illustrate the inventive ways in which these materials have been deployed in the built environment. The book is designed as an introduction to the exciting and rapidly changing world of construction materials. With a better understanding of the social, environmental and economic sustainability of any given material - alongside its technical properties - students of architecture can lead the change in responsible and creative material use.

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.

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.

Based on a history of climate control on urban scales, it promotes the integration of indoors and outdoors in order to reduce environmental and thermal loads in cities. Just as heating and cooling practices inside the buildings are affecting the (urban) climate outdoors, urban heat islands are influencing the energy requirements and thermal conditions inside the buildings. While the first part of the book focuses on the interwar period in Europe, the publication’s second part considers examples from all over the globe, tracing the growing significance of ecological thinking for the design of urban environments.

Ce nouveau volume de "Construire en bois" propose une mise à jour complète, remaniée et augmentée des précédents volumes ("Construire en bois", "Construire en bois 2"), et se pose comme nouvel ouvrage de référence de la construction en bois pour les architectes et les ingénieurs. Les avantages de la construction en bois demeurent sous-estimés de nos jours. Peu de procédés subissent autant de préjugés négatifs et infondés de la part des maîtres d'ouvrage, des assureurs et des planificateurs. Mais les avantages offerts part ce matériaux sont nombreux, tant d'un point de vue technologique qu'économique ou écologique. Fruit de l'expérience de deux ingénieurs et trois architectes, "Construire en bois" privilégie cette double approche dans le but d'améliorer sans cesse la conception des ouvrages en bois. Riche de centaines de photos noir et blanc et couleurs ainsi que de milliers de dessins au trait, il présente une vaste gamme de formes, de moyens et de techniques d'assemblage, de conceptions d'appui et de systèmes porteurs, et rassemble ainsi en un seul manuel toutes les informations relatives aux propriétés du matériau bois et ses possibilités d'utilisation dans le domaine de la construction. Illustré de plus de 3000 dessins et 700 photographies au travers de près de 200 exemples, imprimé en quadrichromie, cet ouvrage offre un panorama complet des dernières technologies à la base des grandes constructions en bois du monde actuel.

Industrialization and population growth have brought about a global water crisis. Nature can no longer compensate the exploitation of our freshwater and our oceans. One billion people have no reliable access to clean drinking water; two billion live in precarious hygienic conditions. Famine, poverty, epidemics, and infant mortality are closely linked with the water crisis. Social, ecological, political, and economic conflicts obstruct efforts to resolve the global water crisis. Water is an instrument of power. The key question reads: Is water a commodity or is free access to water an inalienable human right? By approaching water from a phenomenological perspective, Who owns the Water? seeks to persuade the reader that an element that is constantly flowing and changing defies all claims to own it, be they political or economic, and is instead the responsibility of the entire international community.
