Résumé:
For Climate's Sake! sets itself the goal of conveying the knowledge revealed by current climate research in a manner that is both concise and appealing. It differs from other books on climate change principally in the way it is conceived as a visual reader that diliberately uses the effectiveness and power of the image to present the theme in a graphic way. Extensive series of images with large photographs and informative diagrams accompany well-researched essays on and around the themes of climate history, research and policy and thus offer an in-depth examination. The book provides insights into the history of the earth's climate and reveals the factors that are responsible for climate change. It poses questions and provides answers: why is the earth becoming warmer? What are the consequences we must reckon with? What can we do against this? Who determines the future?

My Green City celebrates this turnaround as well as the way of life and creativity of the designers, artists, architects, activists, and passionate laypeople involved. The book presents projects from around the world - from urban farming initiatives and architectural visions that are changing our cities as a whole, to furniture and other everyday objects that can make our own streets and homes greener.

Résumé:
It is said that the history of modern architecture can be observed through the evolution of the single-family home. Over generations, each has hoped to improve on the last, rethinking and reinventing this seemingly simple building type. At certain historic moments in the discourse, new ideas about domesticity have given form to radically different configurations of home and community. Current emphasis on sustainability presents a unique opportunity to design affordable houses that respond to specific economic, social, and environmental challenges. In From the Ground Up, editor Peggy Tully presents the results of an international competition to create new models for affordable high-performance green homes in urban residential neighborhoods. Developed for a vacant infill site in Syracuse's Near Westside, these ambitious projects offer an array of innovative designs that provide a new vision for once-vital urban residential neighborhoods and well-designed energy-efficient homes throughout the United States. From the Ground Up includes topical essays by series editor Mark Robbins, architect Michael Sorkin, and architectural historianSusan Henderson.

Résumé:
In 2007, the architect and scholar Jana Revedin created the Global Award for Sustainable Architecture in collaboration with Cité de l’Architecture et du Patrimoine, to recognize architects leading the field in environmentally friendly design and practice. The prize, which now receives the patronage of UNESCO, is awarded each year to five architects who share the principles of sustainable development and who have taken an innovative approach towards maintaining them in the built environment. This publication illustrates the work of Sami Rintala, Studio Mumbaï, Diébédo Francis Kéré, Patrick Bouchain and Loïc Julienne, Thomas Herzog, Junya Ishigami, Steve Bear, Giancarlo Mazzanti, Troppo Architects and Snohetta, all of who won the prize in 2009 or 2010. Sustainable Design assesses the methodology of each architect through essays as well as visual documentation of their most relevant projects.

Résumé:
Ce coffret, Un autre possible, regroupe les deux ouvrages: Vers une cité végétale et Archiborescence (nouvelle édition). Dans Vers une cité végétale, Luc Schuiten a rassemblé ses réflexions et projets concernant le futur proche de nos villes et campagnes. Il y suggère des solutions pour les transports publics et individuels de demain, propose déjà des formes d’habitat archiborescent réalisables immédiatement, et étudie le devenir de la ville deLyon à l’horizon 2100. L’ouvrage offre un complément à Archiborescence qui envisage des évolutions à beaucoup plus long terme. La collaboration s’est renouvelée avec Pierre Loze pour la rédaction des textes et avec Gauthier Chapelle qui conclut l’ouvrage en examinant en biologiste la validité des hypothèses visionnaires de Luc Schuiten. Archiborescence retrace le parcours de créateur de Luc Schuiten depuis la maison Oréjona qu’il construisit pour lui-même jusqu’aux cités qu’il a imaginées en visionnaire pour une société revenue à des modes de vie écologiques. Une trentaine d’années de projets, destinés à suggérer au monde industrialisé d’autres voies que celles de l’épuisement des ressources de la planète. Pierre Loze a prêté sa plume à la pensée de Luc Schuiten, et Gauthier Chapelle, biologiste, l’a conseillé et a réalisé un chapitre sur le biomimétisme qui clôt l’ouvrage publié pour la première fois en 2006. Un voyage dans le futur de nos sociétés, réconciliées avec la nature.
