Résumé:
Ce livre sur la reconversion de bâtiments industriels est divisé en quatre parties : des espaces publics : salle de sports, centre de documentation, bibliothèques ; des espaces culturels : musées, galeries, théâtre ; des espaces commerciaux : hôtels, centre artisanal, garage ; des appartements et studios. 34 réalisations sont présentées avec photographies et plans d’architectes. Industrial buildings in disuse, which has lost their main function, can be given a new lease of life by projects which allow their reconversion into new and multifunctional solutions living up to the present-day needs. "Industrial chic" reflects this constant and modern transformation of urban landscape in several cities around the world.

Résumé:
Au fil de ces entretiens, Alain Corbin restitue les formes d'appréciation de l'espace, de la Renaissance à nos jours. Le paysage est, en effet, une manière de lire l'espace, de se le représenter, de le charger de significations et d'émotions. Il est une lecture indissociable de la personne qui le contemple. Il sollicite tous les sens, et se consttruit selon des systèmes(...)

Résumé:
Au fil de ces entretiens, Alain Corbin restitue les formes d'appréciation de l'espace, de la Renaissance à nos jours. Le paysage est, en effet, une manière de lire l'espace, de se le représenter, de le charger de significations et d'émotions. Il est une lecture indissociable de la personne qui le contemple. Il sollicite tous les sens, et se consttruit selon des systèmes de croyances, de convictions scientifiques et des codes esthétiques. De l'anxièté au désir, de l'aménagement à la conservation, ce parcours illustré dessine l'évolution des postures, des formes de représentation et de maîtrise qui nous unissent au paysage.

Résumé:
Wood was essential to the survival of the Venetian Republic. To build its great naval and merchant ships, maintain its extensive levee system, construct buildings, fuel industries, and heat homes, Venice needed access to large quantities of oak and beech timber.

Résumé:
Wood was essential to the survival of the Venetian Republic. To build its great naval and merchant ships, maintain its extensive levee system, construct buildings, fuel industries, and heat homes, Venice needed access to large quantities of oak and beech timber. A Forest on the Sea explores the history of this enterprise and Venice's efforts to extend state control over its natural resources. Karl Appuhn explains how Venice went from an isolated city completely dependent on foreign suppliers for wood to a regional state with a sophisticated system of administering and preserving forests. This publication offers a completely novel perspective on how Renaissance Europeans thought about the natural world. It sheds new light on how cultural conceptions about nature influenced political policies for resource conservation and land management in Venice.

Résumé:
''Tree by tree'' is a warning and a toolkit for the future of forest recovery. Scott J. Meiners investigates the critical biological threats endangering tree species native to the forests of eastern North America, providing a needed focus on this plight. Meiners suggests that if we are to save our forests, the first step is to recognize the threats in front of us. Meiners focuses on five familiar trees—the American elm, the American chestnut, the eastern hemlock, the white ash, and the sugar maple—and shares why they matter economically, ecologically, and culturally. From outbreaks of Dutch elm disease to infestations of emerald ash borers, Meiners highlights the challenges that have led or will lead to the disappearance of these trees from forests. In doing so, he shows us how diversity loss often disrupts intricately balanced ecosystems and how vital it is that we pay more attention to massive changes in forest composition. With practical steps for the conservation of native tree species, ''Tree by tree'' offers the inspiration and insights we need to begin saving our forests.

Résumé:
Parks are importantly fertile places to talk about land. Whether its big national parks, provincial campgrounds, isolated conservation areas, destination parks, or humble urban patches of grass, we tend to speak of parks as unqualified goods. People think of parks as public or common land, and it is a common belief that parks are the best uses of land and are good for everyone. But no park is innocent. Parks are lionized as "natural oases," and urban parks as "pure nature" in the midst of the city -- but that's absurd. Parks are as "natural" as the roads or buildings around them, and just as political. Every park in North America is performing modernity and settler colonialism everyday. Furthermore, parks are not private property, but while they are called ''public'', they are highly regulated spaces that normatively demand and closely control behaviours. Parks are a certain kind of property, and thus creations of law, and they are subject to all kinds of presumptions about what parks are for, and what kinds of people should be doing what kinds of things in them. Parks- as they are currently constituted- are colonial enterprises.
