Résumé:
Landscape architecture has a pivotal role in ensuring environmental sustainability through design interventions. This book takes a broad look at strategies and completed projects to provide the reader with a strong understanding of the sustainability challenges being faced by designers today, and potential routes to addressing them. The book covers essential concepts of landscape architecture and environmental sustainability, including: - Ecology, multifunctional landscapes and sensitive intervention - Remediation, cleansing and environmental infrastructure - Social sustainability, design activism and healthy landscapes - Food systems, productive landscapes and transportation - Performance ratings, materials and life cycles Through case studies from around the world and interviews with leading landscape architects and practitioners, this book invites discussion about possible future scenarios, relevant theories and project responses in landscape environmental design. With hundreds of color images throughout the book, and additional study material in the companion website, Joshua Zeunert provides an overview of the multidimensional qualities of landscape sustainability.

“Green buildings” that slash energy use and carbon emissions are all the rage, but they aren’t enough. The hidden culprit is embodied carbon?the carbon emitted when materials are mined, manufactured, and transported?comprising some ten percent of global emissions.

“Green buildings” that slash energy use and carbon emissions are all the rage, but they aren’t enough. The hidden culprit is embodied carbon?the carbon emitted when materials are mined, manufactured, and transported?comprising some ten percent of global emissions. With the built environment doubling by 2030, buildings are a carbon juggernaut threatening to overwhelm the climate. Like never before in history, buildings can become part of the climate solution. With biomimicry and innovation, we can pull huge amounts of carbon out of the atmosphere and lock it up as walls, roofs, foundations, and insulation. We can literally make buildings out of the sky with a massive positive impact.

On the foreshore of St. Kilda, Australia rises just such a structure—one that merges renewable energy production with leisure, recreation, and education. This volume imagines a world where the infrastructures that power our cities are designed to be reflections of culture, where public parks provide clean electricity to the city grid, and where the art that brings depth and vibrancy to our lives also measurably responds to the challenges of climate change. ''Energy Overlays'' provides a glimpse into a post-carbon future where energy infrastructure is seamlessly woven into the fabric of our cities as works of public art.

Résumé:
How do we make sense of the Earth at a moment in which it is presented in crisis? ''Geostories'' is a manifesto on the environmental imagination that renders sensible the issues of climate change and through geographic fiction invites readers to relate to the complexity of Earth systems in their vast scales of time and space. The book is organized into three sections–terrarium, aquarium, planetarium, each of which revisits such devices of wonder that assemble publics around representations of the Earth. The series of architectural projects becomes a medium to synthesize different forms and scales of knowledge on technological externalities, such as oil extraction, deep-sea mining, ocean acidification, water shortage, air pollution, trash, space debris, and a host of other social-ecological issues. Through design research, ''Geostories'' brings together spatial history, geographic representation, projective design, and material public assemblies to speculate on ways of living with such legacy technologies on the planet.

After studying low-tech possibilities for water purification – and analyzing the many failures of systems provided by conventional aid schemes – Meyer came up with an inexpensive (and close to foolproof) process using the seeds of a fast-growing tropical tree and indigenous pottery-making. The designer’s respect for the culture of Bangladesh is the motivating force behind this potentially world-changing project. A small but fascinating book.

Résumé:
C'est pour affirmer que le paysage est vivant, qu'il est animé par cette seule " force dynamique qui semble affranchie de la gravité terrestre " qu'évoque Gaston Bachelard quand il parle du vent, que l'équipe de recherche GRIEF (groupe de recherche sur l'invention et l'évolution des formes) de l'Ecole Normale Supérieure d'Architecture de Bretagne et ses partenaires ont travaillé sur le vent, et en particulier sur les éoliennes, objets de recherche de nature hybride. Le vent est l'archétype des phénomènes de turbulence, d'aléatoire, de chaos dont l'étude a contribué à modifier radicalement notre sens de la forme. Cette évolution n'est pas importante seulement pour les scientifiques mais aussi pour les créateurs qui ont affaire à cette notion de forme. Cette évolution épistémologique ne peut être sans conséquence sur le regard porté sur le paysage, sur son étude et sur toute action liée à la politique de l'espace. C'est donc bien de la vie, de sa dynamique, de sa force créative dont on traite dans ce livre. La démarche paysagère est aujourd'hui au centre du débat de la politique de l'espace. Elle est une démarche holistique par essence, s'appuyant sur le principe fondamentale que tout phénomène est à considérer comme une totalité invisible, ses différents composantes ne pouvant se comprendre que par le tout qui leur donne leur signification. Face à ce constat, l'approche paysagère apparaît comme celle qui pose les notions de transversalité et de globalité comme formant son propre fondement. Ces travaux de recherche sur le vent sont en cela un excellent prétexte pour croiser des approches multidisciplinaires et concertées qui prétendent participer à la notion de projet de territoire.

It’s also assumed that earth is a fragile, ephemeral material, while in reality some of the oldest extant buildings on the planet are made of earth. Rael also touches on many topics that pervade both architecture and popular media today, such as the ecological benefits and the politics of building with earth, particularly in developing nations where earth buildings are often thought of as pre-modern or backward.
