Résumé:
In the age of the Anthropocene, in which humanity acts on cycles and systems with all its power and capital, architecture and energy together mean more than operational or embodied energy, active and passive solutions. In the face of the climate crisis, beyond the phase-out of fossil fuels, architecture has a mediating role; it is about socio-cultural rethinking.(...)

Résumé:
In the age of the Anthropocene, in which humanity acts on cycles and systems with all its power and capital, architecture and energy together mean more than operational or embodied energy, active and passive solutions. In the face of the climate crisis, beyond the phase-out of fossil fuels, architecture has a mediating role; it is about socio-cultural rethinking. Disquietude addresses the entanglement between architecture and energy in the 20th century, using Portugal as an example. Featuring different local Portuguese voices, the publication identifies the potential for a transition that could be local, sustainable, diverse, and just and be meaningful also in an international perspective.

Résumé:
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced a re-examination of the architecture and design of our interiors from a wide range of perspectives. As containment measures were imposed, the private dwelling became central to the lives of many people worldwide; no longer a simple accumulation of furniture and objects, the interior is an intimate, socio-cultural construction anchored in a precise moment of space and time. A text by Swiss architect Philippe Rahm, who has long worked on climate phenomena and is now looking at its relationship with the pandemic, is among the ten articles by international contributors in this issue, guest edited by design historian Penny Sparke.

Résumé:
Being visual climate thermometers, glaciers are usually portrayed and talked about from that perspective. But Swiss photographer Julian Stetler looks at glaciers as living beings and active protagonists. Born out of the permanent metamorphosis from snow to ice, they are uniquely dynamic.

Résumé:
Being visual climate thermometers, glaciers are usually portrayed and talked about from that perspective. But Swiss photographer Julian Stetler looks at glaciers as living beings and active protagonists. Born out of the permanent metamorphosis from snow to ice, they are uniquely dynamic. From the human perspective, we can only ever perceive slices of them; they exist in a different timescale, beyond our grasp. This book examines the many ways of glacial expression, the diverse shapes and colours they assume, and how they influence and mingle with their surroundings. With a poem by Daniela Molnar, plus contributions by a journalist, a landscape architect, and a microbiologist.

Résumé:
We have come to enjoy plentiful lifestyles in the 21st century, yet we are also facing issues such as climate change, social inequality, epidemics, and the shifts in global dynamics brought on by these things. ‘'How is Life?'’ takes another look at the various facets of our everyday lives, reframing architecture as something that serves to make people’s lives better and exploring ways in which design can be employed to achieve prosperity not premised on growth. By introducing projects that offer possibilities which depart from traditional conceptions of architecture and the city, the book sparks a fresh awareness, inspiring you to explore new perspectives for living together with our Earth.

Résumé:
The climate crisis has meant a return to the principles of traditional construction and the use of passive systems, with the purpose of achieving maximum comfort with a minimum environmental impact using strategies such as solar orientation, form factor, or wind patterns. AV Monographs collects sixteen houses designed according to this bioclimatic approach to respond to a huge variety of situations, from the intense heat of the African coast to the heavy snowfall of northern Europe, via the tropical rain of Southeast Asia, the marked seasonality in some areas of South America or China, and the mild temperatures in Central America and the Mediterranean.
