La renommée du quartier Mazarin d’Aix-en-Provence, avec ses vastes hôtels particuliers aux jardins ombragés et aux fontaines richement ornées, n’est plus à faire. Le nouvel agrandissement de 1646, décidé par l’archevêque Michel Mazarin (frère du cardinal Jules Mazarin) est sans conteste le quartier le plus prestigieux de l’ancienne capitale de la Provence, le fleuron d’une architecture luxueuse et variée, l’écrin d’une société de prestige, une forme d’urbanisme à part, une ville dans la ville. La construction de demeures luxueuses de la part de commanditaires non nobles, financiers, parlementaires, marchands ou artisans enrichis, induit depuis longtemps dans la capitale et dans de nombreuses villes de province le problème de l’usurpation d’une architecture aristocratique. Bien avant le style, il faut penser aux enjeux. Les enjeux financiers, honorifiques et de convenance sont les apports de ce sujet de recherche provincial. Il constitue un apport non-négligeable à la théorie architecturale française, sur les principaux acteurs d’une évolution urbaine, sur les enjeux sous-entendus de l’architecture moderne : des ambitions religieuses, politiques, sociales et immobilières.

"Interest in living off the grid, i.e. self-sufficiently without relying on public services such as the municipal water supply, electricity, or local sewage and gas systems, has come on the scene as a greener, cheaper, and more independent way of life. Homes that are off-grid generally allow for a smaller carbon footprint, and a sense of freedom and self-sufficiency. Living Off-Grid sets you free from depending on a company, either using solar panels, wind turbines, a micro water system, or a combination of these technologies. Other times, an Off-Grid system can work as an energy backup or be complemented by the grid when renewable technologies cannot produce all the energy needed. We have gathered different examples of nature-powered homes, which are partially or completely off-grid, to focus on the importance of these homes, which put sustainability first"--Publisher's description.
