[.fr] La quête de légèreté n'est pas nouvelle. L'ambition de réduire la quantité de matière débute il y a un siècle dans un contexte de pénurie de logements et de matériaux. Avec l'urgence de bâtir plus et l'obligation de consommer moins, quelques pionniers inventent d'autres architectures. Ils s'appellent Richard Buckminster Fuller, Charlotte Perriand, Pierre Jeanneret, Lauwrence Kocher, Walter Gropius, Jean Prouvé, Charles et Ray Eames, Makoto Masuzawa, Jorn Utzon, et aujourd'hui Hans Walter Müller, Renzo Piano ou Shigeru Ban. Leur quête prend désormais un sens nouveau que l'ouvrage révèle par l'analyse et le redessin. Chacune des trente architectures décomposées selon un protocole développé par l'agence Philippe Rizzotti Architecte et le laboratoire IBI de l'ETH Zürich, dévoile des potentiels. Economie de moyen, rapidité de mise en oeuvre, modularité, flexibilité et évolutivité... ces qualités inhérentes à la construction légère se conjuguent avec nos ambitions écologiques actuelles de frugalité.

[.it] L’accordo di collaborazione tra la Shanghai Jiao Tong University e il Ministero Italiano dell’Ambiente e della Tutela del Territorio e del Mare ha portato alla costruzione del GEL, acronimo di “Green Energy Laboratory”, realizzato dallo studio di architettura Archea Associati di Firenze. Nato come centro di ricerca e laboratorio di analisi e divulgazione di tecnologie a bassa emissione di carbonio nel settore edilizio e residenziale, si presenta come un corpo elementare con solo due aggettivazioni a cui è affidata l’immagine generale: l’ultimo livello, il terzo, arretrato rispetto all’ingombro della cassa edilizia con un forte tetto inclinato per ospitare i pannelli fotovoltaici, e il rivestimento dell’involucro realizzato con un paramento avvolgente di elementi di terracotta il cui disegno interpreta alcuni pittogrammi tipici della lingua cinese. Il resto del complesso sembra essere asservito a questi due elementi in una complementarietà rigorosa. Risulta evidente quanto il progetto miri a essere un simbolo di cooperazione interculturale tra Italia e Cina, accomunate da una millenaria tradizione di accorgimenti per il risparmio energetico e per il comfort ambientale, specialmente per quel che riguarda l’edilizia residenziale. Il libro, corredato da saggi critici, disegni tecnici, foto di cantiere e del progetto ultimato, illustra questo risultato di perfetta sincronia tra tradizione, ingegno architettonico e sostenibilità.

[.en] The Green Energy Laboratory (GEL) is a research center for low environmental impact building technologies on the the Minhang Campus of Jiao Tong University in Shanghai. Created in collaboration between the university and the Italian Ministry for Environment, Land and Sea Protection, it was designed and built by the Florentine architectural firm Archea Associati in 2012. This book features critical essays, technical drawings, photos of the construction site and the completed project, and illustrates the harmony of this structure through its perfect blend of tradition, architectural ingenuity, and sustainability. The GEL building is based around a central courtyard with a retractable roof. The top, or third floor, is recessed in relation to the main block, with a steeply sloped roof to house solar panels. The outer shell of the building’s double skin is composed of terracotta elements designed to form pictograms common in the Chinese language. This landmark project represents a symbol of intercultural cooperation between Italy and China.

[.en] Climate change is one of the major challenges facing cities in the future. Landscape architecture is particularly in demand here because it offers solutions that are characterized by complexity and interdisciplinarity and contribute to the quality of everyday life. These range from green roofs and facades to urban gardening and the landscaping of large-scale protection works. This volume presents measures and plans of eleven major cities in North and South America, from Vancouver to Rio de Janeiro, to protect their inhabitants and their habitats against future storms, floods, landslides or long periods of heat and drought. Outstanding projects in the featured cities are analyzed in their geographic and climatic context. The author also addresses the social and cultural dimensions of resilience.

How can architecture create a pleasant indoor climate using construction techniques and as little technology as possible? Researchers from four different departments at the Technical University of Munich joined forces with the engineering firm Transsolar Energietechnik to explore integral strategies for simple, energy-efficient construction. The architecture firm Florian Nagler Architekten implemented the plans developed by the TUM project for three prototype buildings made of solid wood, masonry and lightweight concrete in monolithic construction. Using these apartment buildings as examples, the guide vividly elucidates the six core principles of simple construction.

• Analysis of three exemplary apartment buildings
• Monolithic structures in wood, lightweight concrete, and brick
• The result of an interdisciplinary research project at the Technical University of Munich (TUM)

[.fr] Pourquoi la nécessité de garder la température de notre corps à 37° C entraîne-t-elle l'apparition de l'architecture ? Comment un simple grenier à blé devient-il la ville ? Comment les églises procuraient-elles de la fraîcheur l'été dans les régions méditerranéennes ? Pourquoi les petits pois sont-ils à l'origine des cathédrales ? Pourquoi les arts décoratifs n'étaient pas seulement décoratifs ? Pourquoi la peur des mauvaises odeurs a-t-elle fait s'élever d'immenses coupoles sur les bâtiments ? Comment un brin de menthe a-t-il ramené la nature en ville ? Pourquoi l'éruption d'un volcan a-t-elle inventé la ville moderne ? Pourquoi l'iode a-t-il provoqué l'urbanisation du littoral ? Comment la viande séchée des Grisons a-t-elle donné naissance à l'architecture moderne ? Comment le pétrole a-t-il fait pousser des villes dans le désert ? Pourquoi les antibiotiques ont-ils permis de revenir habiter en ville ? Comment le CO2, est-il en train de transformer les villes et les bâtiments ? L'Histoire naturelle de l'architecture met en lumière les causes naturelles, physiques, biologiques ou climatiques qui ont influencé le déroulé de l'histoire architecturale et provoqué le surgissement de ses figures, de la préhistoire à nos jours. Induite par un contexte d'accès massif et facile à l'énergie, celle du charbon puis du pétrole, et par les progrès de la médecine (avec l'invention des vaccins et des antibiotiques), l'historiographie politique, sociale et culturelle a, au XXe siècle, largement ignoré les faits physiques, géographiques, climatiques et bactériologiques qui ont façonné de façon décisive, à travers les siècles, les formes architecturales et urbaines. Relire l'histoire de l'architecture à partir de ces données objectives, matérielles, réelles permet d'affronter les défis environnementaux majeurs de notre siècle et de mieux construire, aujourd'hui, face à l'urgence climatique.

[.en] As more of the earth’s surface is swallowed up by the built environment, architects are increasingly advised to integrate urban flora and fauna into their designs. Whether developing green roofs, living walls, abundant indoor courtyards, or balconies that connect interior and exterior spaces, the urge to intertwine nature and architecture has never been more apparent. Embracing this ubiquitous trend, ‘Evergreen Architecture’ surveys a broad spectrum of residential, institutional, urban, and rural spaces. But as change occurs and solutions to the climate crisis are being integrated on the ground, many new questions are posed. How do residents keep moss-covered walls alive? How can a skyscraper uphold the weight of hundreds of trees? ‘Evergreen Architecture’ investigates this movement from the perspective of the architects leading the charge whilst offering diagrams and plans to help the reader understand how each building came together and how it intends to survive.

[.es] In contrast to a decade ago, when ecological architecture was considered a luxury, it has now become essentially impossible to build without considering sustainability issues. Aspects of ecological balance have become an important part in the planning and construction process. In recent years, a canon of standard methods and possibilities has emerged to achieve this goal of environmentally friendly architecture. However, there are architects whose ideas and techniques for sustainable buildings go beyond the standards that have now been established and are sometimes also mandatory. This publication discusses such new and innovative solutions for ecological construction. The author presents projects from all over the world that stand out from the standard measures and concepts and point the way to the future.
