Modernity sought to transform housing into a living machine: residents of mass housing and scholars quickly understood that it didn't work that way. Architects and urban planners needed the insights of the human sciences to understand that the relationship between humans and their homes was complex, made up of necessities but also desires, images, and emotions. The ten contributions gathered here take stock of the study of the relationships between people and their environment, from an interdisciplinary perspective. They show why and how innovative approaches are now necessary. At stake is the quality of life of a large part of humanity.
Roderick Lawrence, Professor at the Institute of Environmental Sciences, University of Geneva; Gilles Barbey , Honorary Professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne.
Contributions by: Marion Segaud, Paris; Maria Villela-Petit, Paris; Julia Robinson, USA; Sherry Ahrentzen & Kim Steele, USA; Roselyne de Villanova, Paris; Ombretta Romice & Andrew Paul, UK; Marie-Antoinette Glaser, Switzerland; Ola Nylander, Sweden.
