Résumé:
Les arbres ont toujours suscité la passion des hommes, et la fascination pour les grands végétaux est vieille comme l'humanité. D'abord furent sacralisés les plus majestueux d'entre eux, puis le goût de la merveille et de l'exotisme donna naissance à maintes vocations de botanistes exceptionnels, savants aventuriers, tout à la fois explorateurs, missionnaires et marins du grand large, parcourant le monde au péril de leur vie pour rapporter en Europe l'eucalyptus de Tasmanie, le pin Douglas d'Amérique du Nord, le lilas de Topkapi, et des centaines d'espèces qui ornent aujourd'hui parcs et jardins. De l'abricotier au tilleul, au travers de nombreux exemples classés selon un ordre alphabétique, cet ouvrage nous fait découvrir de multiples curiosités.

The 40 houses gathered here by Phyllis Richardson show us that buildings can weigh less and have minimal impact on their environments, and that this lightness - visual, material, ecological - can create beautiful, ethereal homes that offer new, natural modes of habitation and greater communion with our surroundings.

Résumé:
When Guy Debord identified the image consumerism of “the society of the spectacle” in the 1960s, he could not have forecast that language would threaten to eclipse the image in the medium of personal technology, creating a world of ubiquitous legibility. Today, we read anytime and anywhere, on screens of all sizes; we read not only newspaper articles, but also databases, online archives, search engine results and navigational structures. We read while out on the street, at home or in the office, with a complete library to hand - but less and less we read a book at home on the couch. In other words, we are, or are becoming, a different kind of reader. I Read Where I Am contains texts about the future of reading and the status of the word in the digital age from designers, philosophers, journalists and politicians, looking at both sides of the argument for printed and digital reading matter.

Résumé:
Rethinking the significance of films including "Pillow Talk," "Rear Window," and "The Seven Year Itch," Pamela Robertson Wojcik examines the popularity of the "apartment plot," her term for stories in which the apartment functions as a central narrative device. From the baby boom years into the 1970s, the apartment plot was not only key to films; it also surfaced in TV shows, Broadway plays, literature, and comic strips, from "The Honeymooners" and" The Mary Tyler Moore Show "to" Subways are for Sleeping "and" Apartment 3-G." By identifying the apartment plot as a film genre, Wojcik reveals affinities between movies generally viewed as belonging to such distinct genres as film noir, romantic comedy, and melodrama. She analyzes the apartment plot as part of a mid-twentieth-century urban discourse, showing how it offers a vision of home centered on values of community, visibility, contact, mobility, impermanence, and porousness that contrasts with views of home as private, stable, and family-based.

Résumé:
How can we design the architecture of metabolism? How can architecture redefine resources, produce nutrients and contribute to regenerate land and protect communities at risk? "Building Metabolism" aims to reveal how architecture constructs, distributes, and leverages power via material recycling, interspecies alliances, biopolitics and excremental processes. This book, stemming from the expanded work produced for the 2022 Tallinn Architecture Biennale—themed EDIBLE and curated by the authors—reimagines the "home" on both domestic and planetary scales as a digestive system, processing human output in its various forms and converting it into actionable resources. This portrayal of the "home" urges readers to look at resources in a visceral way; via the raw ecologies of our bodies and the understanding that the social problems related to climate justice are not simply statistical, abstract, and disembodied. Instead, they are intertwined with our own production and living processes, and they are landed on bodies: on the food we eat, the water we drink, and the air we breathe.
