In a revolutionary, multi-disciplinary approach, Unitarian Universalist Pastor Michael Schuler shows how we only truly experience "the good life" when we de-prioritize short-term attainments and instead embrace sustainability as both an operational model and a life-sustaining core value.

Qui sont les habitants des squats ? Que réclament-ils ? Pourquoi sont-ils de plus en plus nombreux ? Comment se déroule la vie quotidienne dans un squat ? C'est à ces questions, et à bien d'autres encore, que cet ouvrage, fruit d'une immersion de près de dix années dans les mondes du squat, propose de répondre.Avec rigueur et sensibilité, accordant une large place aux témoignages et aux récits ethnographiques, Florence Bouillon prend le contrepied de bien des idées reçues. Elle montre d'abord avec force que le squat est le produit de la spéculation immobilière et des insuffisances du droit au logement. Mais le squat ne peut être seulement saisi par défaut : loin de n'être qu'un logement illégal, il constitue un refuge, un domicile, un espace de solidarités. Quant aux squatteurs, couramment décrits comme des " inutiles au monde ", ils s'avèrent capables de mobiliser des compétences relationnelles, cognitives et urbaines insoupçonnées. Ainsi l'auteur affirme-t-elle la nécessité d'une approche dialectique des mondes de la vulnérabilité, articulant processus de désaffiliation et dynamiques de résistance.Ce livre captivera tous ceux qu'intéressent les questions du droit au logement, les problématiques de justice sociale, de pauvreté et d'inégalités

Ce livre est écrit pour tous ceux qui veulent habiter la ville autrement. L’auteur a parcouru l’Europe en train et interviewé des architectes, des responsables de projets et des habitants, pour nous faire découvrir 10 écoquartiers sélectionnés pour leur pertinence environnementale. Apparu dans les pays du nord et de l’est, les ecoquartiers se propagent sur tous le continent à l’initiative de professionnels, d’élus, mais aussi de particuliers. De quoi s’agit il ? De quartiers conçus pour préserver l’environnement, économes en énergie, bien desservis par les transports en commun et les pistes cyclables, construit en matériaux sains, récupérant l’eau de pluie, favorisant les liens sociaux… Pour chacun de ces écoquartiers, l’auteur présente les spécificités, les points remarquables, un plan légendé, des photos, des adresses pour aller plus loin et bien sûr toutes les informations récoltées à travers son enquête.

L'architecture écologique est une réalité en devenir. Si certaines démarches sont déjà très abouties, en France comme à l'étranger, les grandes figures de ce courant se définissent toujours comme des " défricheurs ", confrontés aux urgences sociales, climatiques et énergétiques. Cette scène d'architecture est déjà universelle. Elle émerge, extrêmement diverse, dans de multiples foyers de création, actifs au Sud comme au Nord. Cette architecture se fonde sur une nouvelle interprétation du monde. Elle s'appuie sur l'approche holistique qui est une pensée de la complexité : conservation et innovation, développement et préservation, liberté de l'individu et valeurs collectives. Cette architecture renoue aussi avec une vision politique. Défendre un usage raisonné et un partage équitable des ressources, changer le contenu des mots " progrès ", " nature ", c'est attaquer l'ordre établi du XXe siècle. Après avoir été pionnière du bioclimatique dans les années 1970, la France tend à rejoindre aujourd'hui ce puissant flux mondial. La qualité et la diversité des réalisations présentées dans cet ouvrage témoignent qu'une voie " française " est d'ores et déjà à l'oeuvre.

In this candid and informative book, George M. Woodwell, a leader in the study of global environmental change, illuminates practical considerations (and frustrations) involved in “building green.” When the renowned Woods Hole Research Center needed a new office, Woodwell led efforts to utilize “state-of-the-shell” green building techniques to retrofit a Victorian mansion built in 1877 into the Center’s new home. This is the story of how scientists and contractors alike confronted the limitations of available materials, laws, and building codes. Woodwell sets this struggle in a larger context, as part of the global need to minimize carbon emissions and environmental impacts. Beginning with his experience of the retrofit of a single building, he shares insights into rethinking how we design, use, and adapt the built environment to preserve the functional integrity of the natural landscape.
