Résumé:
The Color Accordion is a handy, manageable instrument for the creation of colour tones. It is based on 36 colour hues in the shape of square passe-partouts. By turning the mats in intervals of 90 degrees, four shades at a time make up continuous chords of four. There are more than one million chord variations. With the Color Accordion, the squaring of the circle is(...)

Résumé:
It is known that one and the same interior colouring will appear different in rooms with windows facing north or facing south. What is not known is how natural daylight from these two compass points affects perceived colour and the ways in which colour is experienced.

The objective of this study is to describe the perceived colours to be expected in rooms with sunlight and diffused light, and thus to develop a tool for colour design.

Résumé:

Donner le feu vert au projet de TransCanada, c’est s’exposer à des risques majeurs de catastrophe écologique (860 cours d’eau traversés, déversement possible de l’équivalent de 36 déraillements à Lac-Mégantic) pour de bien faibles retombées économiques.

C’est aussi s’enfermer dans une logique capitaliste délétère qui nous pousse à extraire et à consommer toujours davantage de pétrole sale, fortement générateur de gaz à effet de serre. Par le fait même, c’est abandonner les indispensables cibles en matière de lutte contre les changements climatiques afin d’éviter une hausse dramatique de la température du globe. Éric Pineault rassemble les pièces du casse-tête Énergie Est et expose tous les pièges du complexe des sables bitumineux pour bloquer sans compromis ce projet de pipeline. En ce début de XXIe siècle, nous avons une responsabilité climatique historique. La transition énergétique est incontournable. Le monde nous regarde.

Résumé:
Western Canada's natural environment faces intensifying threats from industrialization in agriculture and resource development, social and cultural complicity in these destructive practices, and most recently the negative effects of global climate change. The complex nature of the problems being addressed calls for productive interdisciplinary solutions. In this book, arts and humanities scholars and literary and visual artists tackle these pressing environmental issues in provocative and transformative ways. Their commitment to environmental causes emerges through the fields of environmental history, environmental and ecocriticism, ecofeminism, ecoart, ecopoetry, and environmental journalism. This indispensable and timely resource constitutes a sustained cross-pollinating conversation across the environmental humanities about forms of representation and activism that enable ecological knowledge and ethical action on behalf of Western Canadian environments, yet have global reach. Among the developments in the contributors' construction of environmental knowledge are a focus on the power of sentiment in linking people to the fate of nature, and the need to decolonize social and environmental relations and assumptions in the West.

Résumé:
The violence wrought by climate change, toxic drift, deforestation, oil spills, and the environmental aftermath of war takes place gradually and often invisibly. Using the innovative concept of “slow violence” to describe these threats, Rob Nixon focuses on the inattention we have paid to the attritional lethality of many environmental crises, in contrast with the sensational, spectacle-driven messaging that impels public activism today. Slow violence, because it is so readily ignored by a hard-charging capitalism, exacerbates the vulnerability of ecosystems and of people who are poor, disempowered, and often involuntarily displaced, while fueling social conflicts that arise from desperation as life-sustaining conditions erode.

Résumé:
This book is a collection of essays at the intersection of architecture and climate change. Neither a collective lament nor an inventory of architectural responses, the essays consider cultural values ascribed to climate and ask how climate re? ects our conception of what architecture is and does. Which materials and conceptual infrastructures render climate legible, knowable, and actionable, and what are their spatial implications? How do these interrelated questions offer new vantage points on the architectural rami? cations of climate change at the interface of resiliency, sustain-ability, and ecotechnology? 'Climates' also contains a dossier of precedents for thinking about architecture and climate change drawn from a number of leading practitioners. New approaches to understanding climate in architecture make this book invaluable.This publication is a project by The Avery Review, a journal produced by the Of?ce of Publications at Columbia University's Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation.

Résumé:
Some thousands of years ago, the world was home to an immense variety of large mammals. From wooly mammoths and saber-toothed tigers to giant ground sloths and armadillos the size of automobiles, these spectacular creatures roamed freely. Then human beings arrived. Devouring their way down the food chain as they spread across the planet, they began a process of voracious extinction that has continued to the present. For Ashley Dawson, this is the product of a global attack on the commons, the great trove of air, water, plants and creatures, as well as collectively created cultural forms such as language, that have been regarded traditionally as the inheritance of humanity as a whole. This attack has its genesis in the need for capital to expand relentlessly into all spheres of life. Extinction, Dawson argues, cannot be understood in isolation from a critique of our economic system. To achieve this we need to transgress the boundaries between science, environmentalism and radical politics.
