Résumé:
De la grotte au repaire de brigands, de la "chambre à soi" de Virginia Woolf à la cabane dans les bois de Thoreau, de notre jardin à notre lit, cet essai explore les abris auxquels nous rêvons et qui nous font rêver. Aspiration au retrait autant qu'appel à s'ouvrir, nos refuges sont des chrysalides : ils donnent forme à notre imaginaire. Parce qu'elle échappe à l'injonction de transparence, la part de nous qui s'y loge est le berceau de notre intime création. Trouver son refuge c'est inventer un espace pour raconter son histoire, comme les enfants construisent leur cabane pour échafauder de nouveaux mondes.

Résumé:
Et si la solution aux crises écologiques se trouvait dans nos océans ? Nées il y a 1,5 milliard d’années, les algues recouvrent une grande partie du globe terrestre et ont contribué à façonner le monde du vivant. Certaines populations s’en nourrissent depuis longtemps, et on les trouve dans de nombreux produits de notre quotidien. Pourtant, leurs capacités incroyables sont encore largement inexplorées. Source presque infinie d’innovations à venir, elles offrent des alternatives insoupçonnées pour réduire la pollution, nourrir les êtres humains, préserver la biodiversité ou encore lutter contre le réchauffement climatique. Les algues, héroïnes du futur ! Relecture scientifique par Philippe Potin, chercheur en biologie marine à la station biologique de Roscoff

Résumé:
How can art, science and institutional practices counteract the negative consequences of climate and ecological breakdown? How can these practices and ideas advance systemic change? ''Worlding Ecologies'' serves as an anthology of examples and wayward navigational tool, assembling eighteen authors exploring this question from their diverse backgrounds––as scientists, artists, philosophers, activists, theorists and curators––to rigorously approach urgent ecological challenges, including climate breakdown, pollution, biodiversity loss, environmental and social justice. This book emphasizes the fundamental role of art as a vehicle and support structure for intersectional ecological thought. Whilst navigating imagination, worlding-possibility, science fact, social justice and climate action, the book prompts a fundamental role for art to create the blueprints for regenerative and sustainable more-than-human worlds. Structured alongside three sections––Science and Climate Truth; Activism and Climate Justice and Social Justice in Institutional Ecosystems–– ''Worlding Ecologies'' moves from fieldwork-taking to patchwork-making, unifying the arts with science, politics and ecology into a field of synthetic thought and commitment.

Résumé:
Nobody writes about art like Estelle Hoy. Overpriced cheesecakes are the starting point for an essay on art writing; shoplifting in Berlin opens to a reflection on the economies of activist practices; fiction allows for discussion of the legacy of institutional critique, queer mélanges or quiet melancholy. To her, the story of art becomes more nuanced in light of lyrics by Arthur Russell, the posthumous sorrow of Sylvia Plath or a poem by Yvonne Rainer. "Saké Blue" gathers Hoy’s critical essays and reviews, primarily on women artists. Echoing the work of Hervé Guibert or Camille Henrot, Hoy’s writing suggests that art can be the place for subjectivities to take shape in relation to forms, ideas and the other.

Résumé:
Conversion, adaptation, reuse - these techniques are as old as construction itself. However, since the industrialization of the building industry and the emergence of modernism in architecture, newly constructed buildings have dominated our idea of good and progressive architecture. For decades, conversion did not play a significant role in architectural practice. Today, things have changed. The industrialization of the construction industry has led to environmental degradation, and the reform potential of modernism has been exhausted. Consequently, the existing building stock is one of the resources - perhaps even the most important resource - for the transformation of our cities. Against this backdrop, the architecture of conversion has made an unexpected comeback. Young architects in particular are providing surprising answers to the environmental and social questions of our time with their conversion projects.

Résumé:
The oldest churches shown in this book were built as early as in the 15th century, most of those still standing were built in the 18th and 19th centuries, and quite a few are still being built today. Many were destroyed in the two world wars, many fell victim to ethnic cleansing after 1945, some fell into disrepair during the Soviet era, others were burnt down by lightning or short circuits, and quite a few simply gave way to the more "representative" stone churches as early as the 19th century. But a large number are still standing, consecrated, and believers gather in them. In fact almost of them in the various Carpathian countries are protected monuments, and many have been lovingly restored in recent times. More than the architectural-historical value, the question arises here of the aesthetic assessment of these small buildings. It is not a refined canon of forms of great architecture that can be derived and proven from the history of architecture that inspires us so much. Ba-sically, they are not overly sophisticated constructions in terms of craftsmanship, they are safe and beautiful in their simplicity. Their aesthetic appeal, however, also includes the surface-weathered material, deformed structures, colour improvisations, recently ornamented sheet metal, inside wall paintings, altar and iconostasis furnishings derived from Renaissance and Baroque periods, but above all their location in the village, mostly isolated, often elevated, surrounded by old trees, enclosures and graves without cemetery order.

Résumé:
"Living places" is an innovative approach to home construction that benefits both people and planet, and a valuable model that thrives on collaboration. The concept’s lessons demonstrate how to construct healthy buildings using readily available materials and technologies. Its scalability and feasibility aspire to influence the housing sector by assessing prototypes and integrating valuable knowledge into the construction industry at large. This book offers a comprehensive look at this approach through the voices of the project’s main partners, its shareable data, and a description of the process and method that can create change where it is most needed – a manual of tools and insights.
