Architecture shapes both human and more-than-human worlds. Historically, it has served (and still does) as an instrument of power—creating, restricting, and distributing both control and access.

Résumé:
Architecture shapes both human and more-than-human worlds. Historically, it has served (and still does) as an instrument of power—creating, restricting, and distributing both control and access. Yet architecture also carries the potential for care and inclusivity, offering shelter, and fostering belonging. Shifting the focus from the designers and creators of the built environment to its inhabitants, Building Diversity’s second publication offers a critical lens to explore for whom cities, buildings, spaces, and infrastructures are shaped for and with. The publication creates a space for diverse voices by bringing in different perspectives to highlight the complexities of the question: ... but, who are we building for? These multifaceted contributions spark curiosity and offer ideas and thoughts for further conversations and reflections. Building Diversity is a non-profit organisation based in Denmark, dedicated to foster diversity and inclusivity in the built environment. They believe that shaping architecture and design is a collective effort that thrives on diverse perspectives and inclusive collaborations. Building Diversity is powered by volunteers united by the vision of inclusive and equitable futures. With over 90 members from more than 40 nationalities, the community brings together a diverse group of perspectives.

Résumé:
Ce livre pose la question de savoir si, au-delà des savoirs abstraits et des comportements individuels, éduquer pour le climat implique avant tout de réapprendre à voir et de réconcilier l'expérience sensible. Nelson Mandela voyait en l'éducation « l’arme la plus puissante pour changer le monde ». La formule est belle, mais cette confiance aveugle dans les vertus de la pédagogie mérite d’être interrogée. Face à la catastrophe climatique, suffit-il de savoir pour agir, d’enseigner pour transformer nos modes de vie, de former la jeunesse pour sauver l’avenir ? Après des décennies d’alertes scientifiques, de programmes scolaires mais aussi de campagnes de sensibilisation par le biais de canaux variés, des ateliers de la Fresque du climat à la bande dessinée, l’éducation au climat peine toujours à mordre sur le réel. En réduisant l’enjeu à des faits scientifiques désincarnés et à une morale des petits gestes, elle invisibilise le danger et laisse intacts les infrastructures et les intérêts fossiles. Et si, au-delà des savoirs abstraits et des comportements individuels, éduquer pour le climat impliquait avant tout de réapprendre à voir et de réconcilier l’expérience sensible avec le débat politique ?

Résumé:
Forming a comprehensive picture of the multiple processes, regulations, institutions, technologies, networks, and operations that we have come to understand as the distributed infrastructural arena in which we act, yield, and plot is a perennial challenge. Over the past decade, a growing number of artists, theorists, curators, and researchers have moved from ''institutional critique'' to ''infrastructural critique,'' or toward ''infrastructural speculation,'' in which they explore the potential of creative infrastructure-related visions and scenarios. In attempts to counter the impasse of ''the cancelled future,'' art has immersed itself in systemic critiques and propositional thinking, addressing major challenges, such as the rampant financialization of the economy and runaway climate change. From questions around space settlements to the possibility of repurposing blockchain infrastructures and financial instruments for redistributive purposes, and from the diagrammatic potential of infrastructural thinking in artistic practices to scenario planning and economic strategizing, this collection of new essays brings together critical analysis from a broad group of contributors engaged in the revisioning of our infrastructural futures. Their interrogations span local and global relationalities, historical and political legacies, as well as future-oriented infrastructural hypotheses.

Résumé:
Consommatrice d'espace, énergivore par la multiplication des infrastructures et des trajets qu'elle engendre le plus souvent, la maison individuelle, modèle auquel aspirent les trois quarts des Français, apparaît à de nombreux égards comme le contre-exemple d'un développement soutenable. Ce recueil de textes écrits par des spécialistes de différents domaines (architecture, droit, économie, géographie, sociologie, urbanisme, paysage, bureaux d'études techniques) encourage par ses regards croisés une réflexion plurielle conjuguant différentes échelles : l'intérieur de la maison, son enveloppe, la parcelle sur laquelle elle se situe, le paysage dans lequel elle s'inscrit. Naissent alors plusieurs pistes de réflexion pour faire de ce type d'habitat une entité durable : la préservation des équilibres entre espaces naturels et espaces habités par l'adoption de politiques responsables, l'amélioration technique des enveloppes et des équipements, exigée par les réglementations thermiques successives, la meilleure formation des professionnels de la construction, la mutualisation de certaines installations, la mise en place de solutions de gouvernante novatrices, la préservation du paysage par la considération de la trame verte et bleue. Une mise en perspective internationale, par l'évocation des pratiques dans le Vorarlberg, en Suisse et au Japon, complète cette réflexion et ouvre vers de nouveaux possibles.

Résumé:
From the late nineteenth through most of the twentieth century, the evangelical Protestant Grenfell Mission in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, created a network of hospitals, schools, orphanages, stores, and industries with the goal of bringing health and organized society to settler fisherfolk and Indigenous populations. This infrastructure also served to support resource extraction of fisheries off Labrador's coast. In 'Slow Disturbance' Rafico Ruiz engages with the Grenfell Mission to theorize how settler colonialism establishes itself through what he calls infrastructural mediation—the ways in which colonial lifeworlds, subjectivities, and affects come into being through the creation and maintenance of infrastructures. Drawing on archival documents, maps, interviews with municipal officials, teachers, and residents, as well as his field photography, Ruiz shows how the mission's infrastructural mediation—from its attempts to restructure the local economy to the aerial surveying and mapping of the coastline—responded to the colony's environmental conditions in ways that expanded the bounds of the settler frontier. By tracing the mission's history and the mechanisms that enabled its functioning, Ruiz complicates understandings of mediation and infrastructure while expanding current debates surrounding settler colonialism and extractive capitalism.

Résumé:
The theme of the first Rotterdam International Architecture Biennial was mobility--as it relates to the city and the landscape, and the design culture that comes with it. Held between May and July 2003, the biennial brought together numerous universities, architects, urbanists, spatial planners and designers to swap experiences and discuss new strategies for giving shape to (car) mobility. This unique book shows the results of this international research in its various forms: statistics, photography, text, visual collage and design proposals. These together give a tangible and insightful look at the mobile cultures found in a wide range of cities and countries, from Mexico City, Hong Kong and Guangzhou, to Djakarta, Budapest, the Ruhr Valley, Beirut, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Peking and Holland. The aim of the publication is twofold. On the one hand, to understand infrastructures and motorway culture by studying their different cultural and geographical contexts. On the other, to draw up an agenda for the future, one that establishes the role to be played by various design disciplines. This research and publication endeavor is the fruit of a collaboration between the universities of Wuppertal, Aachen, Berlin, California, Monterrey (Mexico), Tokyo, Hong Kong, Peking, Beirut, Budapest, Bandung and Delft.

It is also an infrastructure of ideas that are a support for the beliefs, values, and aspirations of the people who created the city.
