In Building Reuse: Sustainability, Preservation, and the Value of Design, Kathryn Rogers Merlino makes an impassioned case that truly sustainable design requires reusing and reimagining existing buildings. The construction and operation of buildings is responsible for 41 percent of all primary energy use and 48 percent of all carbon emissions. The impact of the demolition and removal of an older building can greatly diminish the advantages of adding green technologies to new construction. Reusing existing buildings can be challenging to accomplish, but changing the way we think about environmentally conscious architecture has the potential to significantly reduce carbon emissions. Additionally, Merlino calls for a more expansive view of historic preservation that goes beyond keeping only the most distinctive structures and requiring that they remain fundamentally unchanged to embracing the creative reuse of even unremarkable buildings. In support of these points, Building Reuse includes a compelling range of case studies-from an eighteen-story office building to a private home-all located in the Pacific Northwest, a region with a long history of sustainable design and urban growth policies that have made reuse projects feasible.

Prenant appui sur l’analyse conversationnelle et l’ethnométhodologie, ce livre se fonde sur l’idée que le fonctionnement et l’organisation du langage sont indissociables de ses conditions d’usage dans l’interaction sociale. L’interaction est organisée grâce à la mobilisation de ressources non seulement linguistiques mais aussi incarnées - comme les gestes, les regards, les postures et les mouvements du corps. Il en résulte une perspective originale sur le langage en contexte et en action, documentée grâce à des enregistrements audio et vidéo d’activités sociales situées. Cette approche rend possible une étude des pratiques interactionnelles qui prend en compte leur organisation détaillée telle quelle émerge au fil du temps, se transforme dans les dynamiques de la participation et s’ajuste aux contingences de la situation. Le livre propose un ensemble d’études basées sur des corpus vidéo qui approfondissent l’organisation séquentielle et multimodale de la parole en interaction à différents niveaux, du formatage des tours de parole à l’organisation de la séquence, de la configuration de l’action aux cadres de participation.
