SOUPERgreen!--Souped Up Green Architecture features projects and essays that offer a critique of the prevailing approach to "green" architecture by interrogating the architectural discipline's fairly narrow expectations for "environmental performance," which are predominantly evaluated through scientific calculation and quantifiable measurement. In contrast, SOUPERgreen! re-examines the very nature of the environment as a human construct rather than a given condition--as a manifestation of philosophy's long-recognized epistemological gap between reality and its appearance. The book therefore addresses the manner in which the constructed nature of the environment both problematizes the assumption of humanity's ability to objectively calculate and measure it, and also leads to habits and behaviors that are detrimental to the environment. It also argues that aesthetic "performances" are necessary to reveal new forms of environmental engagement, and that architecture's unique aesthetic and spatial expertise might therefore be leveraged for valuable types of environmental performances that profoundly alter, enhance, and transform the public's understanding of and actions toward the environment.The work in SOUPERgreen! stands in sharp contrast to contemporary examples of "green" or "sustainable" architecture that rely primarily on the invisible agency of unremarkable technologies and materials to reduce resource consumption, but which do so without producing a necessary shift in the public's perception of the environment or behavior towards it. Instead, by leveraging the inherently aesthetic and expressive nature of technology in order to dramatize the constantly negotiated relationship between humanity and the natural world, the "souped up" green architecture featured in SOUPERgreen! transforms "greenness" from a calculation of environmental fitness into a dramatic performance of new environmental realities--ones that reveal ways of engaging and understanding the world that are inherently more ecological.

"This book, based on a huge European and Asian research project, is a state-of-the-art examination of the theory and practice of system innovation through Product-Service System (PSS) design for sustainability from a trans-cultural viewpoint. PSS design incorporates innovative strategies that shift businesses away from simply designing and selling physical products to developing integrated systems of products and services that satisfy human needs. The book provides background, advice and tools for designers interested in sustainable PSSs and has a wealth of case studies for practitioners to digest."--Provided by publisher.

As culture is becoming increasingly recognised as a crucial element of sustainable development, design competence has emerged as useful tool in creating a meaningful life within a sustainable mental, cultural and physical environment. Design for a Sustainable Culture explores the relationship between sustainability, culture and the shaping of human surroundings by examining the significance and potential of design as a tool for the creation of a sustainable development. Drawing on interdisciplinary case studies and investigations from Europe, North America, and India, this book discusses theoretical, methodological and educational aspects of the role of design in relation to human well-being and provides a unique perspective on the interface between design, culture and sustainability. This book will appeal to researchers as well as postgraduate and undergraduate students in design and design literacy, crafts, architecture and environmental planning, but also scholars of sustainability from other disciplines who wish to understand the role and impact of design and culture in sustainable development.

Le Global Award for Sustainable Architecture a été créé en 2007 par l'architecte et professeur Jana Revedin avec la Cité de l'architecture & du patrimoine de Paris comme partenaire culturel. Il récompense chaque année cinq architectes qui partagent l'éthique du développement durable et proposent des expériences innovantes, en milieu urbain comme dans les grands territoires. Le thème retenu pour le jury de la dixième édition du Global Award était "La ressource illimitée du temps". Les travaux des lauréats - les architectes Gion A. Caminada (Suisse), Patama Roonrakwit/CASE Studio (Thaïlande), Patrice Doat (France), Derek Van Heerden et Steve Kinsler/East Coast Architects (Afrique du Sud) et Kengo Kuma (Japon) - présentés ici confirment la mondialisation et la densité du débat sur les rapports entre architecture, ressources et développement.

Like never before in history, buildings can become part of the climate solution. With biomimicry and innovation, we can pull huge amounts of carbon out of the atmosphere and lock it up as walls, roofs, foundations, and insulation. We can literally make buildings out of sky with a massive positive impact. This book presents a paradigm-shifting tour of the innovations in architecture and construction that are making this happen. Office towers built from advanced wood products; affordable low-carbon concrete alternatives; plastic cleaned from the oceans and turned into building blocks. We can even grow insulation and bricks! This book will fire the imagination of architects, engineers, builders, policy makers, and everyone else captivated by the possibility of architecture that heals the climate and produces safer, healthier, and more beautiful buildings.
