Rhabillez-moi ! Stratégies sur mesure dans la réhabilitation de cinq immeubles de logements postmodernes parisiens by Julien Correia

“…The issues raised by this type of program are manifold : they involve both theoretical and technical positioning regarding the design and materiality of facades. They also call into question the unilateral decision to intervene solely - but nonetheless imposingly - on the envelope, considering other components of the buildings (structure, housing composition, etc.), which are often absent from the programmatic question posed.The varied formal language and abundance of details that sometimes tend to over-complexify what are otherwise simple, ordinary buildings are now being challenged by the need to thermally insulate these buildings while guaranteeing their durability of use and character. …”

From ecological to anthropogenic factors: unraveling the drivers of blue crab Callinectes sapidus occurrence along the Mediterranean coasts by Anna Gavioli, Giuseppe Castaldelli, David B. Eggleston, Robert R. Christian

“…One of the most recent threats to Mediterranean ecosystems is the invasion of the Atlantic blue crab Callinectes sapidus.MethodsThe occurrences of the crab throughout the Mediterranean coastline were indexed from citizen science through the Global Biodiversity Information Facility. Using spatial analysis and linear mixed models, we investigated geomorphology (i.e., water depth and coastal wetlands extension), water physical variables (i.e., salinity and winter and summer water temperature), water quality variables (i.e., chlorophyll-a, nitrate and orthophosphate) and anthropogenic factors (i.e., ship density and population size) potentially affecting the blue crab occurrence along the coast.ResultsOur results showed that nitrate, as an indicator of riverine nutrient loading, and water depth, as an indicator of slope of the bottom, were the most influential variables in explaining the occurrences of blue crabs. …”
