Résumé:
Since 1992 and the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, the concept of sustainability has been the focus of attention in the building industry and architecture. It requires the use of intelligent technology, innovative construction, ecological materials, and an environmental approach to energy supply. This development is especially urgent in the area of residential housing. People increasingly insist on a healthy indoor climate, natural moisture exchange, thermal comfort, and an absence of hazardous substances. The book provides extensive and technically detailed documentation of 25 sustainable residential structures in both the high-tech and low-tech domain. There is a considerable variety among the individual projects in terms of their size and the materials used. The examples are chosen from 18 different countries on five continents and come from both rural regions and urban areas.

Résumé:
“The Mexican Roof”, built as an architectural signal for an organisation promoting sustainable agriculture, is one of the few examples where a very ambitious project, conceived in the architecture design studio at the University of Applied Arts Vienna, has been successfully translated into reality. Executed by the students themselves in a remote province in Mexico it is basically a roof made out of bamboo that shelters the new community from the sun and collects water, the basis of any kind of growth. It is a conspicuous landmark that also serves very practical functions. The book presents the building process in Mexico starting with the finished roof and going back in time as well, an index that lists the various notions of the conceptual work in Vienna. Special attention is given to a specific method of teaching that encourages students to go for their visions, even if difficult, by providing methods, experience and determination necessary to solve the problems associated with this endeavour.

Résumé:
The book promotes an interdisciplinary research approach operating in a field between architecture, easthetics, philosophy and urban ecology. The book propagates a break with the environmental requirements in construction have a tendency to derail any trace of architectonic quality. "Ecological reflections in architecture" inverts this perspective, since the environmental ways of presenting the problem are regarded from an architectonic point of view; the book takes its point of view of departure in architecture. Based on a doctoral thesis and on an investigative work at Danish Building Research Institute.

Résumé:
The Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia investigates global projects for sustainable development on the cutting edge of self-sufficient housing, addressing environmental, economic and social needs. The projects investigate construction techniques and processes to build houses with local means, from the intelligent application of traditional techniques to advanced digital processes and fabrication. This book is a fascinating compilation of the most innovative projects for single dwellings and residential buildings, proposing the most creative designs and construction through the use of new materials and energy systems, and the integration of architecture into the landscape. Based in Barcelona, the IAAC is an international centre of architectural research in territorial analysis, urban development, digital fabrications and informational environments for improving cultural, economic and social conditions.

Les 49 réalisations présentées dans ce livre, toutes issues de la onzième session du concours Habitat Solaire Habitat d'Aujourd'hui, montrent avec brio comment il est aujourd'hui possible de conjuguer efficacité énergétique et qualité architecturale. Tous équipés de systèmes solaires thermiques et/ou photovoltaïques aux performances avérées, les bâtiments sélectionnés-maisons individuelles, logements collectifs et bâtiments tertiaires-se caractérisent par l'attention portée aux principes de conception bioclimatique, au choix des matériaux (ossature bois, Monomur...) et à la qualité de l'isolation, de la ventilation et de l'éclairage. Un ouvrage qui séduira aussi bien les architectes et professionnels du bâtiment, que les maîtres d'ouvrage et particuliers à la recherche de retours d'expérience. Ces derniers apprécieront tout particulièrement les fiches techniques détaillant les coûts et les ratios de consommation énergétique.

Out of the introduction: "What you'll see in these pages to come will show you how some have creatively changed the throwaway cycle. Reusing is not only an environmental issue or prone only to physical objects. Ultimately, by not wasting raw materials you are also choosing to not waste somebody's labour and time. Before using anything new, we checked if there was already something available, be it a photo or a written text. You will recognize this in some cases, when seeing scanned pages with a little bit of extra "noise" intentionally carried over from their past lives. We are reusing ideas that are good and well worth spreading."

Résumé:
Archival power, silences, and absences profoundly shape and structure postcolonial landscapes, spaces, and urban environments by controlling bodies, histories, and interactions. This book explores pathways to dismantle these imperial entanglements by developing methodologies and plural epistemologies through an interdisciplinary dialog between history, memory politics, critical theory, and archival practice together with the fields of the built environment, landscape, urban studies, architecture, and the arts. Unearthing traces catalyzes critical discussions that not only challenge the objectivity and dismantle the neutrality surrounding current archival practices and archival institutions, but also question what constitutes the archive itself. The book unearths potential histories and minor narratives buried by the imperial production of pasts and silences. The diverse range of contributions in the book offers original research, discussions, positions, and tools and provides a critical resource for scholars, architects, artists, activists, and archivists who want to engage with landscapes and built environments in a critical and postcolonial perspective in relation to archival materials and practices.

Résumé:
After centuries of dealing with cold as the dominant climatic factor for architectural design in Central Europe, architects must now search for experimental approaches to life in a rapidly warming climate. Architecture and urban design strive for efficient technical solutions to meet changing climatic conditions and the energy standards they demand without really questioning customary notions of comfort, forms of living, and urban coexistence. Despite supposed powerlessness in the face of the impending climate catastrophe, the contributions collected in ''Wiener Hitze'' offer a diverse range of narratives that share experiences, observations, and the needs of people that inhabit hotter worlds, both real and imagined. What role as climate producers can architecture and the city play in shaping our habitat if these important issues are understood not only in purely technological but also in cultural and social terms?
