Résumé:
"Climate changed" examines models and their imperfect yet central role in understanding the relationship between global climate dynamics and the human-built environment. It compares and synthesizes the methods and function of models in disciplines ranging from architecture and planning to climate science and natural hazards research. This book considers how disparate models are woven together to understand the climate crisis, underscoring the necessity of combining locally situated and transdisciplinary knowledge with climate science to navigate current and future cataclysmic changes. It highlights the challenges and consequences of disciplinary boundaries, siloed scientific knowledge, and uneven data and develops ways to overcome these limitations.

Résumé:
Ephemeral phenomena like fire, precipitation, shade, and wind have emerged as important contemporary protagonists for environmental design due to their dynamic impact on buildings and cities. The importance of including these forces in architecture has gained rapid momentum in the global quest for sustainability. This book investigates the history, theory and applications of climatic design in the built environment examining architecture and landscapes from various time periods. "Dry", "Wet", "Cool" and "Hot" divide the book into categories through which a wide array of representational topics are covered —from dust storms and clouds, to ice and bushfires. A concluding section presents project examples for exploratory application in the design of architecture.

Résumé:
Montée des eaux, pénurie en eau potable, disparition inquiétante de la faune et de la flore... : "La maison brûle ! " Si ce cri d'alerte date déjà de 2002, nous n'avons plus le temps "de regarder ailleurs". Il est urgent pour notre survie de changer dès maintenant nos modes de vie qui offensent la Terre et de les mettre enfin en cohésion avec l'ensemble des écosystèmes. Dans cette course effrénée contre la montre, quel rôle peut jouer l'architecture ? Comment construire peut-il signifier instaurer une nouvelle relation de l'homme à la planète ? Pour sa 8e édition, le concours Mini Maousse s'engage dans cette réflexion en appelant les jeunes créateurs à concevoir une aquabane : une petite cabane (moins de 50 m2) flottant entre deux rives, qui soit respectueuse de l'environnement et de ses usages. Inscrites dans le champ plus large de constructions contemporaines réalisées sur l'eau, ces créations invitent l'architecture à prendre le large, à imaginer de nouvelles voies pour l'habitat de demain : face à la maison qui brûle pourquoi pas une maison qui flotte ?

Résumé:
In 1950, only 30 percent of the world's population lived in cities. By 2007, the planet's population has doubled, and today, as many people live in cities as populated the entire planet in 1950. Eighty percent of the planet's greenhouse gases are created by these energy-intensive urban centers. Thus, the key to creating climate change solutions resides with cities.(...)

Résumé:
In 1950, only 30 percent of the world's population lived in cities. By 2007, the planet's population has doubled, and today, as many people live in cities as populated the entire planet in 1950. Eighty percent of the planet's greenhouse gases are created by these energy-intensive urban centers. Thus, the key to creating climate change solutions resides with cities. Author and Ottawa city councilor Clive Doucet provides a razor-sharp insider's perspective, stating his central theme: "It's not about planning. It's about politics." Climate change is proceeding so quickly not for lack of knowledge, but because politicians who deviate from the car-based sprawl model cannot get elected. Urban Meltdown describes how we got here, why we got here, and what can be done about it, as evidenced by the author's observations that: Economic growth has no built-in environmental accountability. Until the political thinking about growth and the progress model itself is changed, our environmental concerns will never be properly addressed. We need a new governance paradigm at all three levels. The cautionary tale of how the 1960s tried to take us down a different route failed, not for lack of leadership but because the system didn't permit it. Urban Meltdown reveals, castigates, and inspires. This is an important book for anyone who cares about thinking differently, acting differently, and making a difference. Clive Doucet is an urban activist, well-known journalist, best-selling author, and the first poet ever elected to Ottawa City Council.

Résumé:
This important book tells the multifaceted story of humankind’s relationship with flooding, a story that is permeated with a history of both worship and fear. Modern water engineering has turned plains and valleys into fully inhabitable environments. At the same time, those environments have become highly vulnerable to climate change. In efforts to prevent future floods, countries are rediscovering adaptation strategies: making room for flooding, redistributing risks and reconsidering the use and legal status of floodplains. Through historical investigations and six contemporary projects implemented in four European countries, "Floodscapes" illustrates how flood-mitigation measures can be embedded in local space and culture. Merged with landscape development, agriculture, recreation, nature, and even urban growth, river management becomes a design issue, giving landscape architects and urban designers a prominent role in future transitions. This book provides an in-depth look into the most common natural disaster in the US, and the innovative solutions that have arisen.
