Sous la pression des grandes transitions et des aspirations de tous, l'architecture doit aujourd'hui assumer des responsabilités nouvelles, mais difficilement maîtrisables : participer à une lutte cruciale pour l'adaptation de l'habitat et des villes au changement climatique, réguler l'emploi de la matière et de l'énergie, écouter les besoins des sociétés, affronter une urbanisation sans commune mesure... L'ensemble de ces transitions pose la question d'un nécessaire renouvellement des ressources de l'architecture, dessine les contours d'un changement complet de paradigme. Car ces ressources ne sont pas seulement matérielles – matériaux et techniques – mais immatérielles. Les textes de cet ouvrage, écrits par des architectes dont l'autorité est fondée sur l'expérience, ouvrent une réflexion sur ces ressources immatérielles qu'il est crucial aujourd'hui de réintroduire dans la pensée architecturale.

Summary:
Seeing cities around the globe in their larger environmental contexts, we begin to understand how the world shapes urban landscapes and how urban landscapes shape the world. Authors Karen Seto and Meredith Reba provide these revealing views to enhance readers’ understanding of the shape, growth, and life of urban settlements of all sizes—from the remote town of Namche Bazaar in Nepal to the vast metropolitan prefecture of Tokyo, Japan. Using satellite data, the authors show urban landscapes in new perspectives. The book’s beautiful and surprising images pull back the veil on familiar scenes to highlight the growth of cities over time, the symbiosis between urban form and natural landscapes, and the vulnerabilities of cities to the effects of climate change.

Summary:
The islands of Orkney, off the northern coast of Scotland, are closer to the Arctic Circle than to London. Surrounded by fierce seas and shrouded by clouds and mist, the islands seem to mark the edge of the known world. And yet they are a center for energy technology innovation, from marine energy to hydrogen fuel networks, attracting the interest of venture capitalists(...)

Summary:
Récemment, de nombreuses publications ont traité du changement climatique et des questions environnementales du point de vue global. Parallèlement, on assiste à un intérêt croissant pour les architectures d’objets connectés. ''Mauvais temps'' a pour ambition d’allier ces deux phénomènes en une même suite d’interrogations : le bouleversement généralisé du temps compris comme temporalités, époque et climat. Cette réflexion se présente comme une façon d’échapper à ces gardiens du temps que sont les déterminismes aussi bien technologiques, économiques, qu’écologiques. Elle permet d’ouvrir la question des temporalités dans l’Anthropocène. ''Mauvais temps'' présente notre actualité comme autant de lignes de fuite à explorer, de possibles à revisiter, de partages du sensible à réinventer.

Summary:
In ''Seeing Green'', Finis Dunaway shows how popular environmentalism has been entwined with mass media spectacles of crisis. Beginning with radioactive fallout and pesticides during the 1960s and ending with global warming today, he focuses on key moments in which media images provoked environmental anxiety but also prescribed limited forms of action. Moreover, he shows(...)

Summary:
In ''Seeing Green'', Finis Dunaway shows how popular environmentalism has been entwined with mass media spectacles of crisis. Beginning with radioactive fallout and pesticides during the 1960s and ending with global warming today, he focuses on key moments in which media images provoked environmental anxiety but also prescribed limited forms of action. Moreover, he shows how the media have blamed individual consumers for environmental degradation and thus deflected attention from corporate and government responsibility. Ultimately, Dunaway argues, iconic images have impeded efforts to realize- or even imagine- sustainable visions of the future.

Summary:
"Mediating Environments" examines fundamental and radical environmental conditions in the Arctic and provides a spectrum of innovative design approaches and spatial outcomes. Climate organizes and sustains a broad range of activities in the Arctic, and it will dictate the future transformations in northern urban landscapes and their metabolic operations. As such, arctic urbanism must take into account the varied nuances of weather phenomena that are deeply engrained in everyday living practices and biophysical fabrics. By revisiting and reconfiguring the intersections between environmental and design systems, this publication aims to expand conceptual strategies in the arctic beyond the modes of insulation, stabilization, and optimization while repositioning the region as a central figure within the global network of exchanges.
