Résumé:
For the past thirty years, Japanese photographer Naoya Hatakeyama has undertaken a photographic examination of the life of cities and the built environment. Each of his series focuses on a different facet of the growth and transformation of the urban landscape—from studies of architectural maquettes to the extraction and use of natural materials such as limestone, as it is quarried via explosive blasts and subsequently incorporated into the construction of new buildings.These photographs hauntingly embody the death and rebirth of the city, manifesting a deeply personal connection to the ongoing intersection of geology, architecture, and time.

Résumé:
In this book, Nina Lager Vestberg artfully details the range of research skills, reproduction machinery, and communication infrastructures that was needed to make pictures available to a public before digitization. Drawing on documents and representations across a range of cultural expressions, ''Picture research'' reveals the intermediation that has been performed by skilled workers in a variety of roles, making use of pre-photographic, photographic, and digital machineries of capture, accumulation, extraction, and transmission. Tracing a history of the modern pictorial economy from the pre-photographic 1830s to the post-digitized 2010s, it makes visible and explicit the invisible labor that has built—and still sustains—the visual commodity culture of everyday life.

Résumé:
American homes are typically made of lumber and plywood delivered by a global system of ruthless extraction, or of concrete and steel, which are even worse for the planet. Wood is often the most sustainable material for building, but we need to protect diverse forests as much as we desperately need more houses. Brian Donahue addresses this modern conundrum by(...)

Résumé:
American homes are typically made of lumber and plywood delivered by a global system of ruthless extraction, or of concrete and steel, which are even worse for the planet. Wood is often the most sustainable material for building, but we need to protect diverse forests as much as we desperately need more houses. Brian Donahue addresses this modern conundrum by documenting his experiences building a timber frame home from the wood growing on his family farm, practicing “worst first” forestry. Through the stories of the trees he used (sugar maple, black cherry, black birch, and hemlock), and some he didn’t (white pine and red oak), the book also explores the history of Americans’ relationship with their forests.

Résumé:
Ce livre conte le voyage du marbre vers la lumière, depuis sa périlleuse extraction dans les carrières jusqu'à ses applications les plus prestigieuses dans l'architecture et les œuvres d'art. Pascal Julien retrace l'histoire oubliée des carrières de France qui furent assidûment recherchées et exploitées par les souverains, de la Renaissance aux Lumières, en France comme en Italie. Cet ouvrage décrit les marbres d'après la littérature philosophique, savante et religieuse mais aussi partir des techniques utilisées par les carriers et les marbriers sur la roche brute. L'auteur y évoque également le geste créateur qui s'épanouit dans les statues et les monuments, les sanctuaires et les palais, déployant ainsi de fascinants jeux de matière et de lumière.

Résumé:
In "Albert Kahn Inc." Claire Zimmerman provides a history of second-wave industrialization associated with the growth and development of the United States auto industry and its global footprint. A forensic analysis of the "architects of Ford," the book theorizes how building and capitalism intersected in the case of twentieth-century industrial buildings, but also in other kinds of architecture and in the built environment writ large. Generally a marginal subject in histories of architecture, industrialism here exposes the expansionist modern project in Western architecture and culture, which was based on natural resource extraction and labor exploitation. With more than 140 full-color illustrations, the book combines an analysis of industrial architecture with compelling photographic evidence drawn from assorted archives.

Résumé:
What kind of architecture will be born once its primary purpose is serving communities and not capital accumulation? How can we compel the market to factor in the true long-term costs of construction and material production? How can we reduce the sense of abstraction that separates 'consumers' of architecture from the environmental damage wrought at the sites of material extraction? How can communities become fully involved in every stage of the production of architecture, not just its final consumption? This book attempts to frame the problem, and begins the process of delineating alternative paths forward. The first step architects can take towards a more just, harmonious, and non-exploitative designed environment is to redesign themselves, and what the word 'architect' stands for.

Résumé:
Capital’s voracious appetite forces architecture into a regime of "never enough." The current realities of building involve extraction and exploitation, which, in turn, cause climate breakdown, environmental ruin, alienated labor conditions, and the destruction of local construction knowledge. But what if we could do architecture differently? What does non-extractivist architecture look like? In this book, Angelika Fitz and Elke Krasny introduce the concept of abundance to call for a paradigm shift in architecture. Using as its example the exceptional work of architect Anupama Kundoo, this book shows that non-extractivist and non-exploitative architecture is undeniably possible. Kundoo, born in Pune, India, weaves together innovative technological experimentation and traditional crafts. With careful consideration of local resources, building skills, climate, and environment, she makes buildings that embody spatial beauty and graceful materiality.

Résumé:
Si le XXIe siècle semble encore très dépendant du pétrole, l'« huile de roche » est pourtant d'un usage très ancien. Sumériens et Indiens d'Amérique la connaissaient, et Dieu lui-même aurait conseillé à Noé de s’en servir pour son Arche. Souvent au mépris du droit, de la paix et de la démocratie, le dernier siècle a quant à lui prouvé notre addiction à l'égard d'un carburant inégalé. Or face aux nouveaux impératifs écologiques, l'impossible d'un mix énergétique idéal nous oblige à repenser les rouages politique, économique, industriel et fiscal en amont et en aval de son extraction. S'ouvrant sur une étude du cas saoudien, premier producteur mondial dans une région très instable, c'est à une socio-anthropologie que se prête ici Alain Gras. Alain Gras est professeur émérite à l’Université de Paris-1 Panthéon-Sorbonne.
