Imaginer à quoi pourrait ressembler Paris en 2100 avec un thermomètre affichant 2°C de plus. A l’occasion de la 3e édition des Journées parisiennes de l’énergie et du climat, qui se sont tenues le week-end dernier, deux jeunes architectes du collectif Et alors, Yannick Gourvil et Cécile Leroux, ont relevé le défi. Le fruit de leur travail, vingt cartes postales présentant une capitale transformée pour faire face au changement climatique, est exposé au parc de Bercy, dans le XIIe arrondissement de la capitale, jusqu'au 15 décembre.

A cube with a shimmering, reflective façade in Berlin symbolizes the harmony of modern architecture and trailblazing residential energy concepts. The building is located in the immediate vicinity of the famed Kurfürstendamm and was selected from 16 entries as the prize-winner for the "Forschungsinitiative Zukunft Bau" competition organized by the German Federal Ministry of Transport, Construction and Urban Planning. The building's special feature is that it generates more energy in the course of a year than it consumes. It produces the energy needed to source the air conditioning, heating and hot water, to operate electrical appliances (household appliances, small devices, multimedia, etc.) and power up electric cars. "Sustainable houses must not have that efficiency look, but instead need to be breathtakingly beautiful and powerful in appearance," suggests Werner Sobek, whose office together with Stuttgart University won the competition to design the Effizienzhaus-Plus. The jury was won over by the concept of an energy-efficient dwelling along with electromobility, that harmonizes user needs, the house and the vehicles perfectly.

"In 1997, I began the serie “City”, an “architectural fantasy about the urban disaster of the post-industrial era”. If you ask me why I'm not working as an architect I would answer that some mathematicians work on abstract maths and others on applied maths; some architects are building houses,others imagine abstract representation of architecture, (one time called in Russia “paper architecture”). Walking in the steps of Piranese and Iakov Chernikhov, I'm an abstract architect."

In Ma'anqiao, the 2008 earthquake destroyed 263 out of 272 houses. Today, with the help of a group of university researchers, this remote Sichuan village has become a workshop of design experimentation, in which the region's inhabitants and artisans are re-learning the ancient art of rammed-earth constructions. To do so, it was essential to give villagers a demonstration of how to rebuild with all the readily available resources. As a prototype, a new rammed-earth courtyard dwelling was constructed for an elderly couple in one month by the project team together with villagers mobilised from each family. Providing families with a participative training course on the basic techniques developed in previous studies, this hands-on approach allowed them to be convinced by the new construction and further understand how to rebuild their houses by themselves...

The Art of Urbanism: How Mesoamerican Kingdoms Represented Themselves in Architecture and Imagery (Dumbarton Oaks Pre-Columbian Symposia and Colloquia) (9780884023449): William L. Fash, Leonardo López Luján, George J. This volume explores how the royal courts of powerful Mesoamerican centers represented their kingdoms in architectural, iconographic, and cosmological terms. Through an investigation of the ecological contexts and environmental opportunities of urban centers, the contributors to this volume consider how ancient Mesoamerican cities defined themselves and reflected upon their physical—and metaphysical—place via their built environment. Themes include the ways in which a kingdom’s public monuments were fashioned to reflect geographic space, patron gods, and mythology, and how the Olmec, Maya, Mexica, Zapotecs, and others sought to center their world through architectural monuments and public art.

Le nouvel atlas Autrement consacré à Paris offre aux chercheurs comme aux esprits curieux une information synthétique et problématisée sur la région capitale. Par ses choix thématiques et méthodologiques, il pose toutefois la question des échelles pertinentes d’analyse de la métropole francilienne et de ses dynamiques, indissociable des débats contemporains sur la réforme de la gouvernance. via @VilleEnGuerre

There's a fascinating piece by Chelsea Fagan's over at TheAtlantic.com about the Paris Syndrome, an apparently real disorder, somewhat similar to a panic attack, that has afflicted at least 20 tourists this year while visiting the City of Lights. Most Paris Syndrome sufferers have been Japanese tourists, and the cause of their symptoms, which include "acute delusions, hallucinations, dizziness, sweating, and feelings of persecution," is thought to be linked to extreme disappointment that Paris is not always the magical, romantic wonderland it's so often made out to be in the movies...
La ciudad, entendida como civitas, es a la vez el complejo de actividades humanas de una sociedad local (cives) y el escenario físico donde esta acción tiene lugar (urbs). Esta agrupación, desde las primeras uniones tribales hasta la polis griega o la actual metrópoli se ha mostrado como un organismo evolutivo cada vez más complejo, capaz de garantizar necesidades diversas para los diferentes pobladores. En esta unión de la ciudadanía siempre ha existido el fin de cumplir, mediante la mutua cooperación, todos o alguno de los fines de la vida de sus integrantes. Esos logros se conseguían por medio de las relaciones sociales en el espacio públicos de los ciudadanos. Esta unión, esta polis social, ha necesitado principalmente del conocimiento, de la razón natural, para irse conformando más diversa y compacta, más inclusiva. Ese conocimiento no es sino «el arraigo en el tiempo por el ejercicio de las facultades intelectuales de la naturaleza, cualidades y relaciones de las cosas» (RAE).

The Mountain is the second generation of the VM Houses, with the same client, size and same street. The program however is 1/3 residences and 2/3 parking, which services both the Mountain and VM House. Rather than designing two separate buildings – a parking and a housing block – we decided to merge the two functions into a symbiotic relationship. The parking wants to be connected with the street and the housing wants sunlight, fresh air and a view. Since Copenhagen is reclaimed flat land without topography, what if the parking became the foundation of the housing – like a concrete hillside covered by a thin layer of housing, cascading from the first to the eleventh floor. All apartments have sun filled roof gardens, amazing views and street parking on the tenth floor! The Mountain appears as a suburban neighbourhood of garden homes, flowing over a 10 story building – suburban living with urban density. JDS / Julien De Smedt Architects is a multidisciplinary office that focuses on architecture and design. Via julia gómez candela

El proyecto de 145 viviendas en Vitry-sur-seine en la ZAC Moulin Vert puede explicarse como una manera de conjugar el tiempo ínfimo de lo doméstico, (zonas pavillonnaires, estructura de ciudad difusa, líneas verdes y parques cercanos) con el tiempo infinito de una ZAC ambiciosa, (arquitectura contundente, alta densidad, largos procesos de regeneración urbana). Aún a riesgo de que esta conjugación tenga un proceso de sutura más bien largo, la apuesta de la ciudad por regenerar un tejido urbano limítrofe y viejo con una demanda social de vivienda de calidad a precio módico debe ser apoyada por acciones concretas y positivas. En eso estamos. http://www.archikubik.blogspot.com/ via @miquelacasta
