Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. At the crossroads of architecture, aesthetics and engineering sciences, this book aims to shed light on the unthought-of return of utilitarian decorative arts in the fight against global warming, and to constitute an encyclopaedic catalogue of decorative elements with ancient typologies (carpe…ts, tapestries, curtains, mirrors, etc. ) updated according to today's scientific knowledge: thermal effusivity, emissivity, conduction, reflectance, etc.Until the beginning of the 20th century, interior decoration in the West had a practical role: to fight the cold, to amplify the light or to block cold draughts. A carpet was used to prevent cold feet, a tapestry to thermally insulate the walls; the crystals in chandeliers, like mirrors or gilding, were there to amplify the weak, solitary light of candles andsmall windows; a folding screen served to block the wind, curtains to block draughts. The arrival of central heating, air conditioning and electric lighting at the turn of the 20th century made this primary utilitarian and climatic raison d'etre of interior design obsolete thanks to the massive use of fossil fuels. Old decorative devices were therefore discarded in favour of the clean, minimalist, empty white interiors characteristic of 20th century modernity an aesthetic underpinned by the CO2 emissions of oil-fired boilers and coal-fired power stations.Today, with the need to reduce buildings carbon footprints and fight against heat waves, new thermal and energy reduction requirements are appearing, including the call for 20cm of thermal insulation in walls.One may wonder if this thermal insulation is not in fact a new form of tapestry in all but name one that would unconsciously mark a return to interior decoration. If the modern style of the 20th century stemmed from carbon energies, wasting without limit resources and energy to heat and light, the decarbonisation of the building is inducing, withoutus realising it, a new decorative style specific to the 21st century, where thermal performance, carbon footprint and ecology redefine the interiors formal and material choices, and finally their aesthetic, cultural,and social value.The challenge for interior architecture is to reactivate interior designs practical sense as it existed before the 20th century, going beyond its apparently futile character to invent new modes of laying out new spatial, formal and material configurations, available to interior designers and architects: a decorative aesthetic specific to the 21st century, which we propose to call anthropocene style.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Inhabitability studies, which apply to living conditions and ways of life, are essential in space research. The title of this collective work, Ways to Leave Earth defines its spectrum as well as its scope, a very topical issue at a time of unprecedented ecological crisis. To answer this questi…on, the authors start off from writings devoted to living in space, adding a historical and critical perspective. Indeed, this research is steeped in technical and cultural history, from the first studies carried out for manned space vehicles (V2 rockets) to more recent studies associated with life in confinement during future voyages to Mars (Mars 500). This history also has its blind spots, through its globally technical approach and its utopian or uchronic imaginary.In order to respond critically to these different pitfalls, the position adopted in this book is threefold: examining the methods and knowledge built up by space research; re-materialising the experience of space by considering it from the perspective of the objects it develops and the images it produces,and reconsidering living in space based on concrete and sensitive experiences, linking the terrestrial to the extra-terrestrial. Ranked in an order of increasing size, from the protective glove of spacesuits to inhabitable planets that can accommodate life, the texts in this book consider the inhabitability of space according to the scales of different objects, which raise a range of issues. Beyond technical history and state competitions, the three authors, researchers in art and design, are also interested in the representations of these objects, habitats or places, and in the links they maintain with an imaginary that science can, under certain conditions, share with the arts. Thus, this richly documented catalogue of inventions and projects outlines a part of the cultural history of the 20th century Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. At the beginning of the 2020s, so-called intelligent systems such as GPT-3, OpenAI, Dall-E, Midjourney or Disco Diffusion made it possible to generate images thanks to textual commands (prompts) associated with large data sets available online. As part of machine learning technologies, these s…ystems found their place in art and the creative industries (fashion design, graphic design, product design, architecture, etc. ), profoundly reconfiguring these professions in the same way desktop publishing and design (DTP and CAD) had in the 1980s.Although these productions prove rather easily stereotyped merely remixing existing content debates have focused on the possible replacement of designers by artificial intelligence (AI), shielding the essential question: what is the spectrum of risk and opportunity when it comes to machine learning for design practices?In order to better understand how these AIs participate in what we propose to call a design under artifice that is to say, an insidious subversion of designs historical principles under the influence of cognitive-behavioural approaches it is first necessary to establish a more detailed understanding of the psychological theories specific to machine learning. Participating in a neurocognitivist approach that assimilates the human psyche to a circuit switch, machine learning is part of the (already) long history of creative software, which aims both to democratise access to computers and to standardise creative practices. Just as these programs have automated a certain number of tasks usually assigned to designers, machine learning technologies displace and redefine the notions of creation and subjectivity. Although they run the risk of homogenising the sensitive world, they also open up new forms of cooperation with machines, of which the contemporary design studios interviewed for this essay offer a glimpse.In this book, Anthony Masure reconnects the challenges of artificial intelligence and design, while proposing a series of avenues to guide this ideal of automation on a small scale, in a controlled and 'tailor-made' way, so that machine learning can foster invention and curiosity.

Paperback. Zustand: New. While the overhaul of higher education linked to the Bologna process encouraged the development of design research in art schools, this interest pre-existed in design agencies which were quick to produce surveys in various forms. In this essay, Nicolas Nova synthesises the main specificities of this type… of approach and demonstrates how it escapes the academic canon. Indeed, design research is an expanding field, which produces knowledge in a wide variety of forms: texts, drawings, prototypes, interfaces, etc. The author analyses the format of the survey as being at the centre of many approaches to design research - a survey that draws on the methods of social sciences and journalism, but is not confined to the disciplinary framework, gathering and re-appropriating notions from a wide range of fields. More than by a single method, it is by questions relating to specifically invented processes, devices and tools that these surveys in design set themselves apart from those in the social sciences. Thus,this research is often based on the creation of material objects, likely to shed light on phenomena, of which the author presents a series of recent and original examples. Nicolas Nova considers that these approaches to design research radiate beyond their chosen field. Indeed, they influence the "creative social sciences", which seek to broaden their range of research and restitution processes and open the way to research in contemporary art, which is also in a booming phase.
