Soms lijkt het alsof de klimaatcrisis zich langzaam voltrekt. in werkelijkheid gaat het erg snel. onze planeet is in een echte noodsituatie terechtgekomen. In het Chinees wordt 'crisis' aangeduid met twee karakters. Het eerste staat voor 'gevaar' en het tweede voor 'kans'. Om het gevaar dat op ons afkomt te kunnen afwenden moeten we eerst erkennen dat we voor een crisis staan. Waarom lijken onze leiders dan niets te horen van de waarschuwingen die zo luid en duidelijk klinken? Verzetten ze zich tegen de waarheid omdat ze weten dat ze moreel verplicht zijn om op te treden zodra ze het probleem wel erkennen? Is het simpelweg gemakkelijker om de waarschuwingen te negeren? Misschien. maar ongemakkelijke waarheden gaan niet weg door de andere kant op te kijken. als er niet op gereageerd wordt zullen de problemen niet verminderen maar toenemen. (bron: covertekst)

Les microclimats urbains ne peuvent pas être expliqués uniquement sur la base de phénomènes scientifiques, mais sont également affectés de manière matérielle et spatiale par l'architecture locale de la ville. La disposition, la conception et la construction des façades des bâtiments ont un impact majeur sur les conditions de vent et de température. Pour cette raison, l'architecture et la conception urbaine qui ont un effet sur les microclimats doivent être étudiées dans leurs contextes sociaux et culturels. La publication utilise des études de cas internationales pour expliquer ces relations. L'accent est mis sur les manifestations de microclimats urbains dans un contexte de conception architecturale et urbaine. Les lieux étudiés sont situés en France, en Italie, aux États-Unis, en Nouvelle-Zélande, aux Philippines, à Taiwan et au Burkina Faso. Urban microclimates cannot be explained solely on the basis of scientific phenomena, but are also affected materially and spatially by the city?s local architecture. The layout, design, and facade construction of buildings have a major impact on wind and temperature conditions. For this reason, architecture and urban design that have an effect on microclimates must be investigated in their social and cultural contexts. The publication uses international case studies to explain these relationships. The focus is on manifestations of urban microclimates in an architectural and urban design context. The places investigated are located in France, Italy, the USA, New Zealand, the Philippines, Taiwan, and Burkina Faso.

"Overheating in buildings is commonplace. This book describes how we can keep cool without conventional air-conditioning: improving comfort and productivity while reducing energy costs and carbon emissions. It provides architects, engineers and policy makers with a 'how-to' guide to the application of natural cooling in new and existing buildings. It demonstrates, through reference to numerous examples, that natural cooling is viable in most climates around the world. The book includes: Guidance on the principles & strategies that can be adopted. Discussion of how designers integrate natural cooling in their buildings. Explanation of simplified tools for performance assessment. A review of components and controls. A detailed evaluation of building case studies from the USA, Europe, India and China. This book is not just for the technical specialist, as it also provides a general grounding in environmental design. Importantly, it demonstrates that understanding our environment, rather than fighting it, will help us to live sustainably in our rapidly warming world" [Publisher]

Rebuild by Design (RBD) was developed for the Presidential Hurricane Sandy Rebuilding Task Force after Hurricane Sandy hit the northeast Coast of the United States in October-November, 2012. Using an innovative, design driven process based on the design competition model, 'Rebuild by Design' places local communities and civic leaders at the heart of a robust, interdisciplinary creative process to generate implementable solutions for a more resilient region. This book aims not so much to illustrate what 'Rebuild by Design' did, but to reflect on it, assess it in all its aspects and embed it in a broader context to offer a guide for to politicians, designers, change managers, community leaders, researchers, activists and others, offering future approaches wherever climate-change induced, water-related urban challenges arise.
