Abstract

Following the huge demand in contemporary societies to decorate homes in a "green" style, this book offers a more environmentally conscious approach to design and production processes by presenting a wide range of eco furniture products made with natural materials as well as using recycling and more environment respecting technologies. It presents the latest eco-furniture pieces from the world's leading design teams, and aims to encourage more people, especially professional designers to consider a more environmentally conscious approach to their design ideas and processes. Eco Design : Meubles, s'attache à présenter les toutes dernières créations des meilleurs designers de meubles de la planète. En Occident, il existe une forte demande en décoration intérieure de type écologique, et de nombreux efforts ont été réalisés en matière de design " vert " et de création de produits à l'aspect naturel. Ces dernières années, la vogue écologique s'est étendue aux pays en voie de développement.De plus en plus de gens et de designers s'intéressent aujourd'hui à la composante écologique des produits. L'écologie et le développement durable sont sans aucun doute les sujets d'intérêt les plus importants de notre époque. Eco Design : Meubles, s'attache à présenter les toutes dernières créations des meilleurs designers de meubles de la planète. Il a aussi pour but d'encourager les gens, en particulier les professionnels du design, à adopter une démarche tenant compte de l'environnement lors de la mise au point de concepts et de procédés de fabrication.

Abstract

"Responding to increasing levels of planetary pollution, waste generation, carbon dioxide emission and environmental collapse, Ecologies of Inception re-thinks potentiality-an object's ability to change-in architecture and design. The book problematizes the still-prevailing modern paradigm of design practice: the technical tabula rasa, a tendency to begin from scratch and use raw, amorphous, and obedient materials that can be easily and effectively manipulated, facilitating a seamless and faithful embodiment of intentions. Instead, the philosophy of design developed in the text prompts-through a variety of case studies, thinkers, and disciplines-a collective reconsideration of value, dissociating it from the projects and signatures of any one author or generation. Whereas the merits of up-cycling and circular design are canonically defined vis-à-vis status-quo economic and socio-cultural orthodoxies, this project unpacks the theoretical assumptions that underpin these practices, s howing that they perpetuate the same biases and exclusions that generate waste in the first place. As an alternative, the book introduces a nodal and exaptive paradigm for design: a conceptual and methodological toolset for engaging the durational and anthropocenic materiality of the third millennium, and for radically prioritizing practices of maintenance, reuse, care, and co-option. This approach, which is inspired by (and builds upon) evolutionary biology, technological disobedience, queer use, adaptive reuse, experimental preservation, and improvisational practices such as collage, adhocism, bricolage, and kit-bashing, refuses to reduce pre-existing material substrates to abstract lists of properties or featureless lumps, encountering them on their own terms-as situated individuals and co-authors. Ecologies of Inception will appeal to undergraduate and postgraduate students, educators, and professional architects and designers interested in sustainable design and seeking to develop ^conceptual and design tools commensurate with the magnitude and urgency of the climate emergency" [Publisher]

Abstract

Design des territoires, l’enseignement de la Biorégion vise un double objectif : présenter ce que la « biorégion » nous enseigne et rendre possible son enseignement par le design. Car le design n’est pas seulement ce qui a accompagné, promu et esthétisé le modèle destructeur de la modernité productiviste à toutes les échelles, mais il est aussi ce qui peut le remettre en question tout en expérimentant des voies divergentes pour changer notre relation au territoire de manière critique et située. Issu d’un programme pluriannuel de recherche de l’ÉSAD Valenciennes, ce livre consolide l’engagement pour un design écosocial en articulation avec la pensée biorégionaliste. Encore peu connue en France, cette dernière est pourtant diffusée dans le monde entier et a inspiré chercheurs, créateurs et militants pour nous apprendre à rétablir le lien au lieu et dégager des alternatives à l’urbanisation totale de la Terre. Dans une perspective pédagogique assumée, ce livre s’adresse autant aux enseignants et aux étudiants des savoirs et pratiques du territoire (design, architecture, urbanisme, géographie, etc.), qu’à toutes celles et ceux qui cherchent à mieux comprendre comment la création peut participer à la lutte contre la misère écologique et sociale contemporaine, en partant de la réalité plurielle des territoires et des manières singulières d’habiter, c’est-à-dire en cultivant le sens du lieu pour le bien commun.

Abstract

"Climate Adaptation and Resilience Across Scales provides professionals with guidance on adapting the built environment to a changing climate. This edited volume brings together practitioners and researchers to discuss climate-related resilience from the building to the city scale. This book highlights North American cases that deal with issues such as climate projections, public health, adaptive capacity of vulnerable populations, and design interventions for floodplains, making the content applicable to many locations around the world. The contributors in this book discuss topics ranging from how built environment professionals respond to a changing climate, to how the building stock may need to adapt to climate change, to how resilience is currently being addressed in the design, construction, and operations communities. The purpose of this book is to provide a better understanding of climate change impacts, vulnerability, and resilience across scales of the built environment. Architects, urban designers, planners, landscape architects, and engineers will find this a useful resource for adapting buildings and cities to a changing climate" [Publisher]

Abstract

Les marques traversent une crise existentielle face à l'urgence socio-écologique. " Vendre du rêve " , ce n'est plus ce qu'on leur demande : c'est même ce qu'on leur reproche, dans un contexte de contrainte et de remise en cause des lois du confort moderne par l'atteinte des limites planétaires. Les consommateurs attendent en effet des marques qu'elles expient leurs fautes en proposant des solutions aussi inspirantes que concrètes pour un avenir plus durable.Un défi de taille ! Et si le design, par sa capacité à adresser l'inconnu, à démêler les paradoxes, à poser les problèmes à résoudre, permettait aux marques de s'armer face à ce défi ? Et si la communication, par sa capacité à créer des récits structurants et à développer de nouveaux imaginaires, donnait aux marques les clés pour engager les consom­mateurs à leurs côtés ? Ce livre-manifeste soutient l'idée que les marques, aidées du design et de la communication, ont le pouvoir de changer le monde - et qu'elles mourront si elles ne s'y essaient pas !

Abstract

Se presenta una reflexión interdisciplinar acerca de la sostenibilidad medioambiental, social y cultural de las transformaciones urbanas contemporáneas. La ecocrítica aborda las representaciones de los fenómenos urbanos desde la perspectiva de su capacidad para interpretar la viabilidad medioambiental de la ciudad contemporánea y sus impactos en la cohesión social y en la diversidad cultural y ciudadana. Estas ecocríticas de la transformación urbana abarcan diferentes vías de abordaje de los fenómenos estudiados, tales como la ecología, el compromiso socioecológico de la economía urbana, la crítica de la homogeneización cultural, la ecosemiótica de las distopías urbanas o los imaginarios ecocríticos en la literatura, el arte urbano y el cine.

Abstract

"Building Cities to LAST presents the myriad issues of sustainable urbanism in a clear and concise system, and supports holistic thinking about sustainable development in urban environments by providing four broad measures of urban sustainability that differ radically from other, less long-lived patterns: these are Lifecycle, Aesthetics, Scale, and Technology (LAST). This framework for understanding the relationship between these four measures and the essential types of infrastructure - grouped according to the basic human needs of Food, Shelter, Mobility, and Water - is laid out in a simple and easy to understand format. These broad measures and infrastructures address the city as a whole and as a recognizable pattern of human activity and, in turn, increase the ability of cities - and the human race - to LAST. This book will find wide readership particularly among students and young practitioners in architecture, urban planning, and landscape architecture" [Publisher]

Abstract

This book covers fundamental aspects of neighborhood planning and architecture along sustainable principles. Written by a designer and instructor, the book's fully illustrated chapters provide detailed insights into contemporary strategies that architects, planners and builders are integrating into their thought processes and residential design practices. Past approaches to planning and design modes of dwellings and neighborhoods can no longer sustain new demands and require innovative thinking. This book explores new outlooks on neighborhoods design, which are propelled by fundamental changes that touch upon environmental, economic and social aspects. It presents contemporary well-designed and illustrated examples of communities and detailed analysis of topics including the depletion of non-renewable natural resources, elevated levels of greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. It also explores the increasing costs of material, labor, land and infrastructure, which pose economic challenges; as well as social challenges including the need for walkable communities and the increase in live-work environments. The need to think innovatively about neighborhoods is at the core of this book, which will be useful to students and practitioners of urban design, urban planning, geography and urban systems; and to architecture studios focused on sustainable residential development.
