Design Education for a Sustainable Future
Sustainability is a powerful force that is fundamentally reshaping humanity’s relationship to the natural world and is ushering in the Age of Integration. The move from well-intentioned environmental friendliness to the higher bar of integral sustainability and regenerative design demands a new type of design professional, one that is deeply collaborative, ethically grounded, empathically connected and technologically empowered. As a response, this book argues for a great leap forward in design education: from an individualistic and competitive model casually focused on greening; to a new approach defined by an integral consciousness, shaped by the values of inclusivity and cooperation, an...
Design Energy Simulation for Architects
Leading architectural firms are now using in-house design simulation to help make more sustainable design decisions. Taking advantage of these new tools requires understanding of what can be done with simulation, how to do it, and how to interpret the results. This software-agnostic book, which is intended for you to use as a professional architect, shows you how to reduce the energy use of all buildings using simulation for shading, daylighting, airflow, and energy modeling. Written by a practicing architect who specializes in design simulation, the book includes 30 case studies of net-zero buildings, as well as of projects with less lofty goals, to demonstrate how energy simulation has hel...

Rosenau, fille du Rhin
Si le village de Rosenau compte aujourd'hui deux cents ans d'existence à peine, l'histoire et le sort ne l'ont certes pas s épargné. Au contraire. Sa naissance à elle seule fit l'objet d'une lutte âpre et opiniâtre d'une infime communauté contre des forces naturelles et politiques pour le moins hostiles. Grâce à l'imposant travail de la Société d'histoire de Bartenheim et environs, au fil des pages et des décennies, nous voyons ces hommes, ces femmes arracher la petite île fertile aux flots anarchiques du Rhin pour l'amarrer à la rive française sans rompre pour autant les liens séculaires avec Istein, la commune-mère sise sur la rive allemande. Nous apprécions les efforts d...
