A rural land disrupted for over a century by mining industries and their giant open-air quarries.

A few years ago, the locals decided to buy the island off a private landlord who wasn't very committed to it, and who didn't care much for their issues. With the help of the region and a group loan, they managed to take charge of their land again.

Whereas the city aims at being carbon neutral by 2020, it is hard to believe that the oil industry was dominating the eastern part up until the early 90s.

These habitat specialists, supervised by the IBA, have thus conceived 180 new apartments in 17 buildings on a 30-hectare construction area. But how can we go from innovative and exemplary ideas to realistic houses where around 500 people currently live and which stand as examples for many countries? Rising water levels and potential floods are one of the main ecological issues. With apartment blocks built on water, taking this into account certainly was one of Wilhelmsburg's biggest challenges.","show_duration":26,"show_vimeo_url":"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/787532248"},{"show_media":8169,"show_title":"Los Angeles","show_synopsis":"On the American west coast, Los Angeles, the 2nd biggest city in the US, is a huge megalopolis and summarizes by itself the American dream and its outrageousness. <\/span>Its road network, with over 1000 kilometres of tarmac, is one of the biggest in the world.

So, how can we build a hotel on an island while respecting the environment? <\/span>What kind of materials and techniques can we use to minimise our impact on the place?\u00a0And what is the best way to get the village and the locals involved in such tourism?<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Many manufacturers wish to make this kind of properties accessible to all. <\/span>Benoit Lavigueur heads a construction company based in Canada. He has not only built an exemplary house in many different domains, but also teaches families basic knowledge in order to take the leap and make relevant choices for their ecological house. <\/span><\/p>\r\nHe therefore proves that eco-construction is accessible to all, and not just to an elite or to tech-savvies.<\/span>","show_duration":26,"show_vimeo_url":"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/811732939"},{"show_media":8196,"show_title":"The Bullitt Center in Seatlle","show_synopsis":"FRENCH SCREENER\r\n
