L'initiative privée, individuelle ou associative, est à l'origine du mouvement de la protection du patrimoine architectural anglais et américain. Elle dispose de deux types d'outils juridiques : ceux qui permettent la protection de l'intégrité physique du patrimoine architectural, et ceux qui assurent son financement. Rentabilité économique et impact social deviennent les nouveaux moteurs du milieu associatif. Ce qui se passe outre-Manche et outre-Atlantique peut-il devenir une source d'inspiration pour le mouvement de la protection du patrimoine français ?

Before there were sponge cities, there were sponge parks. Brooklyn's Gowanus Canal is the site of the Sponge Park master plan and pilot projects, instigating a widespread movement toward greater urban permeability. Designed by Susannah Drake and her former Brooklyn-based firm DLANDstudio Architecture + Landscape Architecture, their execution was completed in 2016 and recognized with National AIA and ASLA Urban Design Awards as well as the inaugural Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian National Design Award for Climate Action in 2020.The Gowanus Canal was the channelized reminder of a former freshwater creek and tidal marsh. Industrial use in the 19th and 20th centuries left a legacy of heavy pollution in the soil and water. Historic industrial buildings lined the canal, so that residential neighborhoods had scarce opportunity to access the water's edge. Today's Sponge Park is conceived as a series of public urban waterfront spaces that slow, absorb, and filter dirty surface water runoff to clean contaminated canal water, reduce combined sewer overflow, and add open space in a park-starved neighborhood. Revealing the form, distribution, and size of natural ecological patterns in relation to the shape and patterns of infrastructure, neighborhoods, and political jurisdictions were among key components of the design. This book introduces the Sponge Park in great detail with photos, illustrations, plans, and diagrams. It demonstrates the concept's potential as a component of a larger vision for a new paradigm of coastal urbanism, upland adaptation, and right-of-way design in the 21st century. Sponge parks proactively address how to manage stormwater runoff from increasingly severe storm events, and reduce detrimental impacts. This work is a must-read for design students, architects, and academics as well as for elected officials, policy-makers, and community activists.

As an interior designer and lifestyle blogger, a lot is asked of me questions and how to translate my style is what I am asked the most. From now, "my look" has become distinct enough that I like to think if you have seen a array of police from five different houses, you would immediately identify the one I designed. That said, you may not be able to easily summarize it in a few words. My looks aren't about one thing or the other but rather it's a specific mix that I've spent years developing.You can take the title of this book literally: Everything in these pages is really made for living. In the rooms I design, the sofas are matched with beautiful ottomans upholstered in tactile fabrics that, yes, you can actually put your feet up on (or, in my case, Converse). In my own kitchen, I used one of my favorite materials: beautiful, variegated Moroccan glazed terra-cotta tiles. They're full of nicks and dings; no two pieces are alike. And that's why I love them. "Perfect" is not my goal.

This book reports on innovative research and practices in contemporary design, showing how to integrate different concepts and discussing the emerging role of design in different field, its meaning for humans and citizens, at both local and global level. Gathering the best papers from Senses & Sensibility, held in 2019 in Lisbon, Portugal, it highlights the role of design in fostering education, physical and social wellbeing, industrial innovation and cultural preservation, as well as inclusivity, sustainability and communication in a global, digital world.

Scarcity of resources in all forms is commonly portrayed in a negative light. Yet these conditions-which have long been a reality in many extreme climate conditions across the global South and are increasingly becoming a global reality-often stimulate an abundance of innovation, inspiration, and ingenuity. Permanence has created a climate crisis, with spaces constructed with non-degradable materials, resource extraction without active replenishment, and buildings designed for a single-eternal use. Our present reality is marked by a global pandemic, violent conflicts, and the looming threat of climate change-induced environmental disasters. Yet there remains an optimism about the creative possibilities that arise within these constraints.Field Notes on Scarcity, published in conjunction with the 2023 Sharjah Architecture Triennial, examines what scarcity truly looks like on the ground, and the challenges and opportunities it presents across architecture and design. Sixty scholars and practitioners from across the Global South-including Lesley Lokko, Yinka Shonibare, Formafantasma, Rahul Mehrotra, Olalekan Jeyifous, Abeer Seikaly, Ilze and Heinrich Wolff, Chitra Vishwanath, and Deema Assaf-contribute reflections, poems, visual essays, and dialogues exploring what scarcity represents, what it inspires, and what it reveals.
