The use of solar energy in new construction has been growing rapidly, and in response to that success, interest in retrofitting the technology to older buildings is increasing. " Solar Design " features case studies of more than 30 realized projects, demonstrating how photovoltaic systems can be consciously and discriminatingly installed as structural design elements, and creatively integrated into historic buildings, monuments and existing urban landscapes. A survey of relevant technologies proves them increasingly compact and flexible.

Résumé:
Sustainable design has made great strides in recent years; unfortunately, it still falls short of fully integrating nature into our built environment. Through a groundbreaking new paradigm of "restorative environmental design," Stephen R. Kellert proposes a new architectural model of sustainability. In "Building for life", Kellert examines the fundamental interconnectedness of people and nature, and how the loss of this connection results in a diminished quality of life. This work illustrates how architects and designers can use simple methods to address our innate needs for contact with nature. Through the use of natural lighting, ventilation, and materials, as well as more unexpected methodologies-the use of metaphor, perspective, enticement, and symbol-architects can greatly enhance our daily lives. These design techniques foster intellectual development, relaxation, and physical and emotional well-being. In the works of architects like Frank Lloyd Wright, Eero Saarinen, Cesar Pelli, Norman Foster, and Michael Hopkins, Kellert sees the success of these strategies and presents models for moving forward. Ultimately, Kellert views our fractured relationship with nature as a design problem rather than an unavoidable aspect of modern life, and he proposes many practical and creative solutions for cultivating a more rewarding experience of nature in our built environment.

Résumé:
Le bois, utilisé dès l'aube de l'humanité comme élément de construction, concentre une variété de caractéristiques lui conférant sa grande versatilité. Il s'agit d'un matériau structurel doté de capacités d'isolation thermique et acoustique, d'un caractère écologique et de potentialités d'interventions en intérieur et en décoration quasi illimitées, sans mentionner des aspects plus subjectifs comme la chaleur, la texture et le toucher. Pour l'heure, le bois est considéré comme une matière première inépuisable et en ligne avec le concept de développement durable : l'application de techniques informatiques pour sa manipulation a dérivé vers une systématisation de la coupe ; l'apparition de multitudes de produits dérivés a optimisé le recyclage des rebuts ; les avancées sont avérées dans la conception et le fonctionnement de systèmes d'union et de fixation, la construction avec panneaux, les systèmes de réhabilitation fiables et les mécanismes biocides contre les nuisances pour la conservation et l'entretien du bois. Dérivé de ces progrès, le bois forme un élément essentiel de la construction préfabriquée, élaboré en grande partie en atelier et bénéficiant donc d'économies de temps et de possibilités d'utilisation de machines de pointe. De là, un produit léger, transportable et manipulable, pour un montage final sans exigences strictes de main d'œuvre spécialisée.

In "The philosophy of sustainable design", McLennan outlines the major ideas and issues that have emerged in the growing movement of green architecture and sustainable design over the last thirty years. This book is intended as a starting point for anyone involved in the building industry on a journey to learn how they can build more responsibly. The book is rooted in practical knowledge but rather than being a ‘howto book’ asks individuals to understand how the philosophy of sustainable design can affect their own work. McLennan relies on his extensive experience with sustainable design having consulted to dozens of projects and design teams all over the Unites State. With foreword by Bob Berkebile.

Résumé:
Since 1992 and the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, the concept of sustainability has been the focus of attention in the building industry and architecture. It requires the use of intelligent technology, innovative construction, ecological materials, and an environmental approach to energy supply. This development is especially urgent in the area of residential housing. People increasingly insist on a healthy indoor climate, natural moisture exchange, thermal comfort, and an absence of hazardous substances. The book provides extensive and technically detailed documentation of 25 sustainable residential structures in both the high-tech and low-tech domain. There is a considerable variety among the individual projects in terms of their size and the materials used. The examples are chosen from 18 different countries on five continents and come from both rural regions and urban areas.
