Comment continuer d’habiter ce monde étrange, accéléré, qui préfère le jetable au durable, le virtuel au réel, la nouveauté à la pérennité ?

Résumé:
Comment continuer d’habiter ce monde étrange, accéléré, qui préfère le jetable au durable, le virtuel au réel, la nouveauté à la pérennité ? L’architecture peut-elle encore faire sens, à l’heure où se multiplient les villes aseptisées, et où nous vivons toujours plus déconnectés des milieux qui nous accueillent ? Dans ce texte engagé et incarné, l’architecte et philosophe Mathias Rollot invite à redéfinir l’architecture à partir des idées du mouvement biorégionaliste. L’éthique biorégionaliste déplace nos manières de voir le monde et ouvre des pistes radicales, pour remettre l’architecture au service du vivant et de ses territoires, et d’une société plus juste. Entre architecture et philosophie, entre aménagement et animalisme, entre militantisme et recherche, ce texte connecte des mondes et ouvre de nombreuses pistes d’action.

Résumé:
''Towards territorial transition'' presents new spatial strategies, concepts, and approaches for shaping large-scale and transnational developments in architecture and urban design towards decarbonization and ecological transition. The contributions investigate interactions between ecological and resource-related systems and landscapes. They also explore potential solutions to address and deal with the dramatic threats posed by climate change and the emerging social crisis. The book introduces six basic terms of territorial transition—territory, scale, transition, resource, platform, and uncertainty—and visualizes them with spatial strategies elaborated at the École nationale supérieure d’architecture Versailles and at Graz University of Technology. Moreover, it presents a selection of transnational projects of territorial transition, such as Luxembourg in Transition (Luxembourg / France), Grand Genève (Switzerland / France), and Top Noordrand (Belgium).

To build is to destroy, writes Charlotte Malterre-Barthes. From steel bolts to concrete blocks to wood flooring to polyester insulation panels, every single component of the built environment is the product of extractive processes.

Résumé:
To build is to destroy, writes Charlotte Malterre-Barthes. From steel bolts to concrete blocks to wood flooring to polyester insulation panels, every single component of the built environment is the product of extractive processes. Driven by greedy economies, the global enterprise of space production expands, impacting climate, earth, water, humans, and non-humans everywhere. However housing is both a human right and the mandate of design disciplines: How to navigate the need for housing versus the destructive practice of construction? To pause new construction—even if momentarily, creates a radical thinking framework for alternatives to the current regime of space production and its suspect growth imperative. Engaging with unsettling questions, "A moratorium on new construction" envisions a massive value shift for our existing stock.

Résumé:
Comment « habiter » aujourd’hui et demain? Face aux multiples défis auxquels le monde est confronté – changement climatique, raréfaction des ressources, vieillissement démographique, migrations, crise sanitaire, disparités sociales –, nos lieux de vie sont amenés à se réinventer dans le respect de la planète, mais tout en préservant le patrimoine, l’esthétique ou encore l’harmonie intergénérationnelle. À l’aide d’exemples concrets, cet ouvrage s’attache à montrer que l’échelle du quartier dans lequel on habite, se déplace, travaille et se détend est pertinente pour agir, car ces morceaux de ville fonctionnent comme des rouages essentiels du métabolisme urbain. Ils informent sur les mécanismes en marche et sur les transformations à venir, mais, en tant que structures à dimension humaine, ils permettent également de penser la ville du point de vue des communautés, des familles, de l’individu. Ces quartiers durables à multiples facettes peuvent ainsi faire office de laboratoires pour expérimenter l’urbanisme du futur.

Résumé:
Climate-friendly construction is essential if we are to ensure that future generations can enjoy comfortable living spaces. Design and the choice of materials help to considerably reduce the climate impact of buildings. The techniques featured in this book come from all five climatic zones and many are drawn from non-European and bygone societies. The low-tech approaches, illustrated in schematic drawings and explained in texts, are a source of inspiration for the design of sustainable and energy-autonomous building structures. "Architecture follows climate" provides the first in-depth and comprehensive overview of passive building techniques that have been tried and tested for centuries.

Résumé:
Climate change, extreme weather conditions, the degradation of biodiversity, CO2 and fine-dust pollution in cities demand action. How can architecture make a contribution to achieving a paradigm shift? Can architecture not only be designed to be removable and recyclable, but to be additionally green as well? Can architecture also be an ecological system? What is blue-green architecture? Architects face the demand to fully exploit unused potential and find ways to use plants as tools for design. This is both the case in the development of spaces as well as urban environments, but particularly on buildings themselves. "Green facades" provides architects with the necessary specialist knowledge to competently deal with the living architecture on the building envelope.

Résumé:
Architecture and construction are at a turning point. They account for more than 40% of global CO2 emissions. Rising temperatures can only be reduced if there is a radical change in the field of construction throughout the world. However, how should we design our cities, buildings and living spaces so that we can get closer to the goal of decarbonisation? The book gives 20 architects and urban planners their say on the future of construction. Voices are heard from Mexico to Kenya – from Bangladesh to Switzerland. In the interviews experts give an account of their own experiences with climate-friendly construction as well as regional problems posed by rising CO2emissions. They explain pioneering projects and combine them with their personal desire and political ideals.

Résumé:
There has never been a more important time to understand how to make the best use of local natural resources and create buildings that do not rely on stripping our planet or transporting materials across the globe. First published in 2017, Habitat gathers the world's leading experts on vernacular architecture to examine how local buildings have stood the test of time and offer lessons for the future. Arranged by climate zone- Tropical, Dry, Temperate, Continental, and Polar- each regional section presents buildings in their environments, showing how climatic conditions and vegetation affect the evolution of building styles. This central part of Habitat is bookended by a range of essays exploring the economic and anthropological aspects of shelter, while the book's reference section offers information on materials science and engineering, including how buildings have been adapted to contend with natural disasters.
