Résumé:
Drawing on a range of previously unexplored archival resources, Michael Osman examines the increasing role of environmental technologies in building design from the late nineteenth century. He shows how architects appropriated and subsumed the work of engineers as thermostats, air handlers, and refrigeration proliferated. He argues that this change was closely connected to broader cultural and economic trends in management and the regulation of risk. The transformation shaped the evolution of architectural modernism and the development of the building as a machine. Rather than assume the preexisting natural order of things, participants in regulation—including architects, scientists, entrepreneurs, engineers, managers, economists, government employees, and domestic reformers—became entangled in managing the errors, crises, and risks stemming from the nation’s unprecedented growth.

“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.

Résumé:
“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.

Résumé:
Connu du grand public pour la réalisation mouvementée de la Bibliothèque nationale de France (BNF) à la fin des années 1980, l'architecte Dominique Perrault n'a pas cessé depuis de construire. Après l'Allemagne, l'Autriche, l'Espagne, l'agence Dominique Perrault Architecture - qui s'appuie aujourd'hui sur trente années d'innovations techniques et de recherches sur les matériaux - livre des bâtiments aux États-Unis, en Russie et en Asie. A l'heure où s'achèvent d'importants programmes internationaux, comme la Cour de justice des Communautés européennes (Luxembourg), l'hôtel Habitat Sky de Barcelone, ou l'université Ewha à Séoul (Corée), cet ouvrage monographique - qui présente plus de soixante projets - retrace les lignes de force d'une architecture magnifiant les contextes où elle s'inscrit.

Résumé:
This book examines the work of three seminal Nordic architects - Alvar Aalto, Jørn Utzon and Sverre Fehn - from a phenomenological perspective, utilising the methodology of 'paradigm' (or 'in the manner of''). Roger Tyrrell explains how the approach of each architect is defined by the three sub-frames of the paradigm: that of the ‘origin’ (arche), that of ‘revealing’ (techne), and that of ‘the poetic conjunction’, in order to gain a holistic understanding of the experiential or phenomenological predisposition of the three architects. Using this method the author describes the commonalties and distinctive qualities of the architecture and design methods of Aalto, Utzon and Fehn. The final chapter projects the intellectual heritage of the three protagonists into the contemporary world, examining the work of practices from the UK, Norway and the USA that each extend this particular way of making place.

Résumé:
"Not Interesting" proposes another set of terms and structures to talk about architecture, without requiring that it be interesting. This book explores a set of alternatives to the interesting and imagines how architecture might be positioned more broadly in the world using other terms: boring, confusing, and comforting. Along with interesting, these three terms make up the four chapters of the book. Each chapter introduces its topic through an analysis of a different image, which serves to unpack the specific character of each term and its relationship to architecture. In addition to text, the book contains over 50 case studies using 100 drawings and images. These are presented in parallel to the text and show what architecture may look like through the lens of these other terms.

On a souvent discouru sur leur contenu des activités, sur la manière de bâtir, sur le contexte de leur apparition mais rarement sur la mise en forme de bâtiments. Or ce qui fait la spécificité de cet art de la combinatoire c'est le travail de mise en forme, de conjuguer des éléments hétérogènes bref ce qu'on appelle couramment créer alors que le terme approprié est composer.
