Résumé:
In a time of loud gestures and ostentation unpretentious buildings, which have been reduced to the essentials with no superfluous decoration, are soothing in their purity. This new volume in the series In Detail demonstrates the breadth and complexity of the issues involved in building simply, from functional and economic demands, through ecological and energy-related aspects, to design and construction requirements. "Building Simply" can be read and applied in many ways. In the face of the sheer wealth of possibilities available today and the ever quicker changes in design and style, it is a creative process which does justice to the nature and quality of the materials used and gives rise to unique projects through an economy of means and resources. The project section documents a comprehensive range of international examples, from simple wooden bridges, to pavilions, residential buildings, workshops, and warehouses.

Résumé:
Green design is the major architectural movement of our time. Throughout the world architects are producing sustainable buildings in an attempt to preserve the environment and our globe's natural resources. However, current strategies for forming sustainable solutions are typically too general and fail to take advantage of critical geographical, environmental, and cultural factors particular to a specific place. By focusing on the Pacific northwest, this book provides essential lessons to architects and students on how sustainable architecture can and should be shaped by the unique conditions of a region. Pacific northwest regionalism has consistently supported an architecture aimed at environmental needs and priorities. This book illuminates the history of a "green trail" in the work of key architects of the northwest. It discusses environmental strategies that work in the region, organized according to nature's most basic elements - earth, air, water, and fire - and their underlying principles and forces. The book focuses on technologies, materials, and methods, with a final section that examines thirteen exceptional northwest buildings in detail and in light of their contributions to sustainable architecture. Critical case studies by northwest architects illustrate some of the best environmental design work in North America. Notable architects from Seattle, Portland, and British Columbia are included. These projects feature innovative design in water and site stewardship, intelligent technologies, passive energy strategies, ecologically sound building materials, and environmentally sensitive energy management systems.

Focusing on green building as it applies to larger commercial, institutional buildings, "Sustainable construction" provides a complete introduction to the design and construction of high-performance green buildings. By providing a thorough grounding on the subject, this guide encourages you to realize the ecological and economic benefits of green building. Author Charles Kibert uses the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) suite of standards to explain the best practices in building procurement and delivery systems. Providing a detailed overview of the entire process of green building, he covers the theory, history, state of the industry, and best practices in green building.

Résumé:
Built environment surrounds us for 90% of our lives but only now are we realising its influence on the environment, our health, and how we think, feel and behave both individually and socially. "Spirit & place" shows how to work towards a sustainable environment through socially inclusive processes of placemaking, and how to create places that are nourishing psychologically and physically, to soul and spirit as well as body. This book's arguments identify important, but often unrecognised, principles and illustrate their applicability in a wide range of situations, price-ranges and climates. It shows how to reconcile the apparently incompatible demands of environmental, economic and social sustainability; how to moderate climate to make places of delight, and realign social pressures so places both support society and maximise economic viability. Thought provoking and easy to understand, Christopher Day uses everyday examples to relate his theories to practice and our experience.

Résumé:
À l'aube du XXIe siècle, il est communément admis que la nature, au même titre que le construit, est un artefact, une élaboration humaine. C'est clair, c'est l'héritage du XXe siècle. Ce qui est nouveau, toutefois, c'est que notre environnement, naturel et construit, soit désormais perçu, tant au plan symbolique que littéral, comme source de danger. La nature, la montagne et l'air notamment, tout comme la ville en termes génériques, menacent l'être humain. Lothar, les avalanches de février 1999, les éboulements, sans parler des champs électromagnétiques et des gaz azotés, ont envahi les médias ; leurs images côtoient désormais celles, un peu fanées, des océans lointains aux eaux transparentes. En même temps, ce monde, où chacun prend les risques individuels les plus fous (base jumping, ski extrême...), n'accepte plus le risque collectif. Les ouvrages de protection se multiplient (digues, murs, etc.) et envahissent le paysage, sans discernement, avec la vigueur et la bonne conscience de l'investissement " utile " parce que nécessaire. Dans ce contexte, une réflexion architecturale doit s'engager. L'ouvrage de protection ne pourrait-il pas accueillir d'autres programmes ? La digue ne pourrait-elle pas être à la fois paravalanche et hôtel ? La chemise de protection d'un gros transformateur en milieu urbain ne pourrait-elle pas être tout ensemble mur et habitation ? Ce qui est hostile peut-il être hospitalier ? Ne pourrait-on pas habiter la menace ? Dans cet ouvrage, subtilement illustré, les textes d'un philosophe et d'une géographe côtoient ceux de quatre architectes dont les projets expriment le plaisir de renouveler une pensée architecturale qui apprivoiserait la menace, de repenser une pratique où faire, ce serait faire d'une pierre deux coups...

Résumé:
"Small Strawbale" is a meditative exploration of the innumerable reasons to consider strawbale as a viable building material. Environmentally friendly, super insulative, economical, and natural, strawbale can be used to build everything from garden walls to small homes. "Small Strawbale" tells the stories of people who have successfully created structures out of this easily replenishable building material, reminding us that our human roots are ultimately grounded and dependent upon the earth and its bounties. This practical guide is filled with rich photos of homes, greenhouses, studios, sheds, open-air structures and more, each pulsating with unique yet subtle creativity. Both a pragmatic construction manual and a philosophical, artistic guidebook, "Small Strawbale" is an inspirational starting point for a strawbale dreamer, and a great source of information for those who are ready to get bailing.
