Résumé:
"SOUPERgreen!" features projects and essays that offer a long overdue critique of the current approach to “green” architecture and, in turn, demonstrate a more appropriate way for architects to address the challenges posed by the environmental crisis. In sharp contrast to contemporary examples of “green” or “sustainable” architecture—which primarily rely upon the invisible agency of unremarkable technologies and materials to reduce resource consumption, but which do so without producing a necessary shift in the public’s perception of the environment or behavior towards it—"SOUPERgreen!" demonstrates how green technology can not only perform from a measurable standpoint, but can also produce engaging experiences that profoundly alter, enhance, and transform the public’s understanding of the environment. By leveraging the inherently expressive nature of technology in order to dramatize the constantly negotiated relationship between humanity and the natural world, the “souped-up” green architecture featured in "SOUPERgreen!" transforms “greenness” from a mere measurement of environmental performance into an actively engaged and highly conscious lived reality—resulting in a new way of experiencing and understanding the environment that is inherently more ecological.

Résumé:
"Capsules" investigates the architectural, product design, and urban typology of the capsule which, beginning in the 1960s, broadened the concept of the basic building blocks of architecture to include a minimal living unit, called the "capsule." Here it is presented with regard to the continuity of the development of the Modern Movement, its revisionist criticism, pioneering examples, as well as contemporary examples and uses. The typology of the capsule allows us to consider this theme in terms of the architecture of resistance, with the potential to search for an "other" architecture that is embedded in our contemporaneity.

Résumé:
Dans l'ouvrage "La fabrique des images", les auteurs analysent l’objet-architecture à travers une série de réalisations de ces quarante dernières années. De la pratique professionnelle aux stratégies d’acteurs, des représentations aux projets construits, ils montrent que l’instrumentalisation de l’architecture en tant qu’outil de communication traduit l’esthétisation populiste du politique et nous donne, de ce fait, une clé pour comprendre la post-modernité.

Résumé:
Sphères, géoramas, observatoires …. Comment les architectes ont participé, aux côtés des géographes, astronomes, mathématiciens, artistes à la découverte du globe terrestre et du cosmos, ainsi qu’à leur représentation. Et comment, en retour, cette découverte majeure a hanté et hante toujours l’architecture, de Boulée et Ledoux à James Turrell et Rem Koolhaas en passant par Bonnier, Mucha, Buckminster Fuller… L’ouvrage repose sur 90 projets architecturaux du IIe siècle avant notre ère au XXIe siècle et pas moins de 500 illustrations, dessins, photos et documents présentent ces projets spectaculaires, oscillant entre défi architectural et rêve utopique. Afin d’expliquer comment l’architecte, devient l’acteur et le porteur de l’aspiration universelle de la découverte du monde, 12 thématiques sont approfondies par 12 spécialistes, historiens, architectes, sociologues ou philosophes s’appuyant sur l’anthropologie, les mathématiques ou la science-fiction.
