Climate change alone requires a completely new approach to building design; a rise in sea levels and an increase in natural disasters call for a rethink of the location and organisation of human settlements; planetary limits demand a profound reorganisation of land use and construction. The fact is, however, that the world, burdened by two centuries of intense production, needs a respite; it cannot accept the demolition of existing structures and the construction of new facilities, which would increase its carbon footprint and further deplete its resources. We must therefore make use of existing structures rather than extending or replacing them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYet how can we convert polluted land and buildings—potential or proven ruins—into substrates for a sustainable world? Most of the artefacts we live among were built during the last century; as such, they are largely responsible for the ecological disruptions we are experiencing today. Maintaining them cannot be considered without re-evaluating the capacity of these same artefacts to compensate for the damage they themselves have caused. It is therefore not enough to replace construction with transformation; we must also address the technical and theoretical issues raised today by the repair of a legacy—both in terms of quantity and disorder—which we are now compelled to deal with.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this stimulating illustrated essay, between history and theory, Paul Landauer analyses how architects have considered the ruins of modernity since the end of the 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGraphic Design: Building Paris\u003cbr\u003eTypefaces: Immortel Infra (Clément Le Tulle-Neyret, 205TF), Antique Legacy (Optimo)\u003cbr\u003ePrinted by Tallinn Book Printers in Tallinn (EE)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2025\u003cbr\u003eSoftcover with flaps\u003cbr\u003e15×23 cm\u003cbr\u003e208 pages\u003cbr\u003eFrench\u003cbr\u003e74 black \u0026amp; white documents\u003cbr\u003eISBN 978-2-492680-30-4\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoedited with the École nationale supérieure d’architecture Paris-Est\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e© Building Books\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yvon Lambert Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57491907314012,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0085\/4913\/8498\/files\/f4e21c9c0f1c7c41a215019710183d0a4254fc3e-1500x1500.jpg?v=1777477115","url":"https:\/\/www.yvon-lambert.com\/products\/paul-landauer-post-demolition-l-architecture-face-aux-nouvelles-ruines","provider":"Yvon Lambert Paris","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
