Abstract

Animé par une puissante volonté de dépasser la modernité en architecture et de prendre à bras le corps les inquiétantes questions environnementales liées au réchauffement climatique, Architecture météorologique propose un univers radicalement nouveau qui refonde le langage de l'architecture par une subtile intrication entre une pensée théorique et pratique expérimentale. Mobilisant tout autant les sciences de la vie que les traités de météorologie, la littérature fictionnelle de Jules Vernes ou l'œuvre romanesque d'Alain Robbe-Grillet, la philosophie critique de Peter Sloterdijk ou de Giorgio Agamben, Philippe Rahm opère un glissement vers l'invisible en proposant non plus des fonctions et leurs formes, mais des climats à habiter. Travaillant " l'invisible ", c'est-à-dire la température, les variations d'humidité, la lumière, l'air et ses mouvements, il propose une architecture comme remède naturel à respirer, à goûter, à vivre organiquement dont la pensée technique et la poétique sont fondamentalement tournées vers la sensualité et le bien être des habitants. Magnifiquement ancré dans les projets et les installations Architecture météorologique contribue à une réflexion commune sur l'environnement en faisant de la mission climatique de l'architecture, non seulement un objectif mais un moyen pour le projet.

Abstract

Filling a gap in existing literature on sustainable design, this new guide introduces and illustrates sustainable design principles through detailed case studies of sustainable buildings in Europe, North America and Australia. The guide will provide the reader with a deeper understanding of the design issues involved in delivering sustainable buildings, and giving detailed description of the process of integrating principles into practice. One hundred buildings, ranging from small dwellings to large commercial buildings, and drawn from a range of countries, demonstrate best current practice. The sections of the book are divided into design issues relating to sustainable development, including site and ecology, community and culture, health, materials, energy, and water. With over 400 illustrations, this highly visual guide will be an invaluable reference to all those concerned with architecture and sustainability issues.

Abstract

For sustainable operation of buildings, energy-efficient systems for heating, cooling, ventilation and the supply of power are essential. Particularly during building renovations, modifications of the building services allow great savings to be realised at relatively little expense. The book "Sustainable Building Services" explains in compact, easy-to-understand form the most important system concepts and components. It documents how each of the technologies works and shows how they interact in overall concepts. The state of development of technologies of the future such as photovoltaics, heat pumps or solar climate control is also documented. The authors pay special attention to renovation measures and the optimisation of operational processes. 15 current building examples illustrate how building services are individually adjusted to different uses, building sizes and climate zones. The book thus provides both architects and specialist engineers with an important knowledge base for planning energy-efficient buildings.

Abstract

The book provides strategies for an energetically sensible and suitable approach to building conditioning as well as its design and constructional integration. How much the building itself can achieve in the context of the given climatic, topographical, and town planning framework conditions and to what extent additional installations are required for conditioning all of these topics are discussed on the basis of case studies --

Abstract

Towards Zero-energy Architecture is a much needed call for the design professions to redefine architecture to help alleviate ecological problems. This book explores the theories, practices, and principles of new approaches to solar architecture that foster both design excellence and low-energy use.
