Résumé:
La théoricienne des nouveaux médias Wendy Hui Kyong Chun expose sa conception originale de la programmation et du code, alerte sur les biais de racialisation, de l'homophilie et des tendances eugénistes qui régissent nos interactions sur les plateformes et analyse la nécessité de convoquer les sciences humaines et sociales dans la conception des modèles algorithmiques chargés de prédire les évolutions et impacts du dérèglement climatique. Cet ouvrage est le premier qui introduit ses travaux aux publics francophones.

Résumé:
À défaut d'une mobilisation générale contre les dérèglements climatiques, c'est bien le mot d'ordre du néolibéralisme mondial qui s'impose désormais : celui de l'adaptation. Devant cet avenir apocalyptique surgit l'énigme de l'inaction climatique : pourquoi ne se passe-t-il rien, ou si peu, au regard de la catastrophe annoncée ? Pour comprendre l'origine de nos impasses(...)

Résumé:
À défaut d'une mobilisation générale contre les dérèglements climatiques, c'est bien le mot d'ordre du néolibéralisme mondial qui s'impose désormais : celui de l'adaptation. Devant cet avenir apocalyptique surgit l'énigme de l'inaction climatique : pourquoi ne se passe-t-il rien, ou si peu, au regard de la catastrophe annoncée ? Pour comprendre l'origine de nos impasses démocratiques, les auteurs interrogent le rôle des révolutions silencieuses dans l'organisation du travail, ainsi que la domination d'Hollywood dans l'imaginaire politique mondial. Apparaît alors toute la dimension idéologique du néolibéralisme, pour lequel les dérèglements climatiques n'annoncent pas un effondrement, mais bien une opportunité historique.. Dénonçant ces partis pris idéologiques, jusque dans la conception du vivant, les auteurs plaident pour un renouveau de l'imaginaire politique, avec l'espoir que naisse enfin une véritable génération climatique.

Résumé:
In future, buildings that make sense from a bioclimatic perspective will not be the exception; planners will simply be expected to design them. With its wealth of facts, this book serves as a concrete aid to planning and design. With the planning process as its roadmap, it accompanies the planner rom the basic evaluation stage through conception and implementation planning all the way to building operation. The building-related characteristics of the various climatic zones form the basis for the made-to-measure development of integrated building solutions. Well-conceived graphics illustrate planning contexts and facilitate efficient planning decisions and realistic predimensioning. Materials, systems, and technologies are described, and their areas of application are pointed out. Reference parameters, costs, and the presentation of interrelationships equip the planner to make a strategic and well-informed selection.

Architects today incorporate principles of sustainable design as a matter of necessity. But the challenge of unifying climate control and building functionality, of securing a managed environment within a natural setting--and combating the harsh forces of wind, water, and sun--presented a new set of obstacles to architects and engineers in the mid-twentieth(...)

Résumé:
Architects today incorporate principles of sustainable design as a matter of necessity. But the challenge of unifying climate control and building functionality, of securing a managed environment within a natural setting--and combating the harsh forces of wind, water, and sun--presented a new set of obstacles to architects and engineers in the mid-twentieth century. First published in 1963, Design with Climate was one of the most pioneering books in the field and remains an important reference for practitioners, teachers, and students, over fifty years later. In this book, Victor Olgyay explores the impact of climate on shelter design, identifying four distinct climatic regions and explaining the effect of each on orientation, air movement, site, and materials. He derives principles from biology, engineering, meteorology, and physics, and demonstrates how an analytical approach to climate management can merge into a harmonious and aesthetically sound design concept.

Résumé:
explores how leading architects of the twentieth century incorporated climate-mediating strategies into their designs, and shows how regional approaches to climate adaptability were essential to the development of modern architecture. Focusing on the period surrounding World War II—before fossil-fuel powered air-conditioning became widely available—Daniel Barber brings to light a vibrant and dynamic architectural discussion involving design, materials, and shading systems as means of interior climate control. He looks at projects by well-known architects such as Richard Neutra, Le Corbusier, Lúcio Costa, Mies van der Rohe, and Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill, and the work of climate-focused architects such as MMM Roberto, Olgyay and Olgyay, and Cliff May. Drawing on the editorial projects of James Marston Fitch, Elizabeth Gordon, and others, he demonstrates how images and diagrams produced by architects helped conceptualize climate knowledge, alongside the work of meteorologists, physicists, engineers, and social scientists. Barber describes how this novel type of environmental media catalyzed new ways of thinking about climate and architectural design.

Résumé:
Are we deranged? The acclaimed Indian novelist Amitav Ghosh argues that future generations may well think so. How else to explain our imaginative failure in the face of global warming? In his first major book of nonfiction since In an Antique Land, Ghosh examines our inability—at the level of literature, history, and politics—to grasp the scale and violence of climate change. The extreme nature of today’s climate events, Ghosh asserts, make them peculiarly resistant to contemporary modes of thinking and imagining. This is particularly true of serious literary fiction: hundred-year storms and freakish tornadoes simply feel too improbable for the novel; they are automatically consigned to other genres. In the writing of history, too, the climate crisis has sometimes led to gross simplifications; Ghosh shows that the history of the carbon economy is a tangled global story with many contradictory and counterintuitive elements.
