Abstract

Si la cuisine est par définition la pièce de l'habitation où se préparent les repas, elle est aussi un lieu de vie qui, depuis un siècle, suscite l'intérêt des architectes, des designers, des sociologues, des industriels, des organisateurs de salons, des historiens et, bien entendu, des chefs et des amateurs. Ainsi à la belle époque, la cuisine de la maison est-elle installée en sous-sol et reliée aux étages par l'escalier de service et le monte-plats. Progressivement, dans les années 1920, la cuisine se déplace au rez-de-chaussée pour être en lien direct avec la salle à manger. L'époque est marquée par une recherche accrue visant à rationaliser l'espace et l'équipement pour alléger le travail de la ménagère et améliorer le confort de la vie familiale. Des logements sociaux sont équipés d'une cuisine-salle de bain, utilisant un seul réservoir d'eau chaude, tandis qu'apparaissent les premiers meubles fonctionnels. La cuisine standardisée Cubex, présentée en 1930, annonce la cuisine équipée moderne. L'influence de la cuisine américaine, lumineuse et ouverte sur le séjour, marque les années 1960-1970 alors en plein boom électroménager. Elle préfigure la cuisine contemporaine au concept, design et matériaux recherchés, intégrée à la vie de la maison, havre de paix et de détente où s'épanouissent la convivialité et un certain art de vivre. http://www.aam.be/fr/mainfr.html

Abstract

Within the foreseeable future, refrigerators will be using 30% less electricity in some countries. Homes in the United States will be emitting 4% less carbon dioxide. Dozens of other common energy-using products will have become cleaner and more energy efficient. And all because of the growing use of energy labels and standards in industrialised countries. Energy labels and standards are only one way in which governments can diminish energy use, improve performance and slash greenhouse gas emissions. But they have proved remarkably effective, and their use is steadily spreading. This report by the International Energy Agency chronicles a number of success stories and offers suggestions on how they can be replicated. This study, the first in a planned series of Energy Efficiency Policy Profiles, analyses existing programmes, provides guidance for programmes now under consideration and points the way to possible international collaboration. It highlights the key elements in successful programmes.

Abstract

The country house has long been an important part of British cultural heritage, beloved not just for its beautiful architecture, furniture, and paintings, but also a means to reconnect with the past and the ways in which families and their households once lived. With Technology in the Country House, Marilyn Palmer and Ian West explore how new technologies began to change country houses and the lives of the families within them beginning in the nineteenth century. A wave of improvements promised better water supplies, flushing toilets, central heating, and communication by bells and then telephones. Country houses, however, were often too far from urban centers to take advantage of centralized resources and so were obliged to set up their own systems if they wanted any of these services to improve the comfort of daily living. Some landowners chose to do this, while others did not, and this book examines the motivations for their decisions
