Résumé:
The magazine examines the legacy of the Italian structural engineer Pier Luigi Nervi (1891–1979), who gained worldwide fame in his lifetime as one of the 20th century’s greatest creators of structural architectures. His portfolio continues to affirm his remarkable contribution to the field. Nervi conceived works involving large spaces and explored material possibilities, structure, technicality, economy, aesthetic expression, workability, and functionality. "Rediscovered" in the 1990s, Nervi’s legacy and the multidimensional facets of his work have re-emerged today thanks to numerous research efforts, such as the conservation efforts by Francesco Romeo, guest editor of this issue.

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:
Consacré à l'architecture des bibliothèques contemporaines, cet ouvrage retrace le parcours historique des modèles d'organisation d'espaces dédiés à la conservation de la mémoire écrite ; il s'interroge sur les schémas actuels de fonctionnement d'une institution vieille de plus de deux mille ans et pourtant en perpétuelle évolution. Partant des premiers rouleaux cachés dans les niches des temples, Aldo De Poli analyse les origines lointaines de l'édifice "bibliothèque". Du Moyen Age à la Renaissance, il nous fait découvrir ces espaces, toujours plus identifiables et mieux conçus, destinés à devenir au fil du temps des institutions ouvertes au public.

Résumé:
Based in Mallorca, Aulets is an architecture practice working across design, research, teaching, and action. It understands architecture as a means of making a territory habitable for a community through the resources available in a specific place. The work of Aulets therefore extends beyond constructing buildings to encompass the activation of new productive processes and the transformation of these practices within schools of architecture. Its activities range from regeneration of vulnerable neighbourhoods and the adaptation of public space for climate change to initiatives such as forest conservation. The magazine introduces Aulets across three sections: Earth, Stone, and Wood.

Résumé:
This publication traces the emergence of the valuation of nature. The book by the artist duo Cooking Sections unpacks forms of dispossession that are becoming more common through the protection—not only destruction—of natural environments. Through a series of artistic and architectural interventions, The book ties into current struggles for climate justice worldwide, contesting neoliberalism as a savior of its own ecological contradictions. It challenges conservation models based on “natural capital,” while proposing new spatial tactics to de-financialize the environment. Besides a photographic documentary and the works by Cooking Sections, the book assembles numerous contributions by interdisciplinary artists and scientists.

Résumé:
This publication is a book of stories, depictions of vanished ways of life told from the point of view of a contemporary observer. The stories tell how people lived in Japan some two hundred years ago, during the late Edo Period, when traditional technology and culture were at the peak of development and realization, just before the country opened itself to the West and joined the ranks of the industrialized nations. They tell of people overcoming many of the identical problems that confront us today--issues of energy, water, materials, food and population--and forging a society that was conservation-minded, waste-free, well-housed, well-fed and economically robust.

Résumé:
Thomas Fisher explores both the beauty and the practicality of Salmela’s award-winning designs—and offers insight into how an architectural firm as small and remote as Salmela’s has been able to produce consistently remarkable and internationally recognized results. Profiling such building projects as Jackson Meadow, a conservation community that has become a nationwide model; the Hawks Boot Factory, Zamzow house, and Bagley Nature Pavilion, which emphasize green building, solar power, and the use of natural light; and the Chrismer, Koch, Fiore, Roland, Ramberg, and Grams cabins, meshing clients’ particular needs and the land’s peculiar constraints, this book provides a rare vision of architectural design.

Résumé:
In his Habitat series, Olaf Otto Becker (born 1959) presents idyllic dreamlike places—paradisical tableaus from the jungles of Malaysia and Indonesia. Even the temperate rainforest of Redwood National Parks in California seems reassuringly intact: the mammoth trees are surviving thanks to rigorous conservation measures. By contrast, in the second half of his series Becker shows what happens across the globe when international corporations clear large tracts of land and giant areas of barren, treeless terrain result. Erosion also does its work, and no life can survive in these places. In the final section, Becker presents the artificial "forests" conceived by various international architects to insert greenery into urban space.
