Book excerpt: During the 1960s, building sites in Paris became spaces that expressed preoccupations about urban transformation, labour immigration and national identity. As new buildings and infrastructure changed the city, building sites revealed the substandard living and working conditions of migrant construction workers in France. Moreover, construction was the touchstone in debates about the dangers of urban life, and triggered action in communities whose districts faced demolition. Paris Under Construction explores the social, political and cultural responses to construction work and urban transformation in the Paris metropolitan region during the 1960s. This examination of a decade of intensive building work considers the ways in which the experience of construction was mediated, produced and reproduced through a range of complex and sometimes contradictory representations. The building sites that produced the new Paris are no longer visible, and were perhaps never intended to be seen, yet different groups closely observed and recorded construction, giving it meanings that went beyond specific building activities. The research draws extensively on French newspaper, television and radio archives, and delves into rarely examined trade union material. Paris Under Construction gives voice to the witnesses of—and participants in—urban transformation who are usually excluded from architectural and urban history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection explores building construction as an inspiring, yet often overlooked, place to develop new knowledge about the development of human societies. Eschewing dominant engineering and management perspectives on construction, the book is purposefully broad in its scope, both empirically and theoretically, as reflecting the rich underexplored potential of studies of building construction to inform a wide span of intellectual debates across the social science and humanities. The seven chapters encompass contributions to theories of: spatiotemporal organization with wildlife on building sites; institutional change with building ruins; home with Mexican self-help housing; place with a suburban housing development; socio-materiality with the adaptation of a university library; migrant labour with the Parisian postwar construction boom; and gender with a female site manager in Sweden. This book seeks to develop a new critical sub-area for construction studies that focuses on the actual processes and practices of ‘constructing'. Bringing together diverse members of construction research communities working in a variety of contexts, it develops empirical engagements with building work to challenge its marginalization, relative to architectural studies, to provoke novel understandings of human history, geography and sociology.

Download or read book Les b tons de granulats d origine v g tale Application au b ton de chanvre written by AMZIANE Sofiane and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2013-05-01 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce livre est un des tout premiers « si non le premier » exclusivement dédié au domaine des bétons de végétaux. Nous nous employons au fur et à mesure des chapitres de décrire l’intérêt de l’usage de tels matériaux, de décliner les nombreuses propriétés multiphysiques et enfin d’illustrer les modes de fabrication et de mise en œuvre. Le livre se focalise principalement sur l’exemple du béton de chanvre. Ce matériau est aujourd’hui très largement utilisé dans l’industrie de la maison individuelle. Le confort thermique, hygrothermique et acoustique est induit par la structure exceptionnelle du matériau dans le sens où elle associe porosité, légèreté et inertie. Le comportement mécanique n’est pas en reste, une grande ductilité et des propriétés loin des standards habituels sont précisées dans cet ouvrage. Par ailleurs, l’Analyse de cycle de vie dont la plus grande partie du volume est d’origine végétale fait ressortir un bilan qui lui est très favorable.
