Abstract

Les microclimats urbains ne peuvent pas être expliqués uniquement sur la base de phénomènes scientifiques, mais sont également affectés de manière matérielle et spatiale par l'architecture locale de la ville. La disposition, la conception et la construction des façades des bâtiments ont un impact majeur sur les conditions de vent et de température. Pour cette raison, l'architecture et la conception urbaine qui ont un effet sur les microclimats doivent être étudiées dans leurs contextes sociaux et culturels. La publication utilise des études de cas internationales pour expliquer ces relations. L'accent est mis sur les manifestations de microclimats urbains dans un contexte de conception architecturale et urbaine. Les lieux étudiés sont situés en France, en Italie, aux États-Unis, en Nouvelle-Zélande, aux Philippines, à Taiwan et au Burkina Faso. Urban microclimates cannot be explained solely on the basis of scientific phenomena, but are also affected materially and spatially by the city?s local architecture. The layout, design, and facade construction of buildings have a major impact on wind and temperature conditions. For this reason, architecture and urban design that have an effect on microclimates must be investigated in their social and cultural contexts. The publication uses international case studies to explain these relationships. The focus is on manifestations of urban microclimates in an architectural and urban design context. The places investigated are located in France, Italy, the USA, New Zealand, the Philippines, Taiwan, and Burkina Faso.

Abstract

Fierce Climate, Sacred Ground is an ethnographic account of the impacts of climate change in Shishmaref, Alaska. In this small Iupiaq community, flooding and erosion are forcing community members to consider relocation as the only possible solution for long-term safety. However, a tangled web of policy obstacles, lack of funding, and organizational challenges leaves the community without a clear way forward, creating serious questions of how to maintain cultural identity under the new climate regime. Elizabeth Marino analyzes this unique and grounded example of a warming world as a confluence of political injustice, histories of colonialism, global climate change, and contemporary development decisions. The book merges theoretical insights from disaster studies, political analysis, and passages from field notes into an eminently readable text for a wide audience. This is an ethnography of climate change; a glimpse into the lived experiences of a global phenomenon.
