Building Better - Less - Different: Circular Construction and Circular Economy: Fundamentals, Case Studies, Strategies - Softcover
Synopsis
Sustainability has advanced to become an overarching concern of daily life. At the same time, its ways and means are far from clear. As a holistic praxis, sustainability must combine technical and material as well as social, economic and ecological strategies that all too often have competing aims and priorities and complex interactions. In no other field can these factors and interactions be better observed, addressed and influenced than in architecture and building. Organising, planning and designing the built environment uniquely reflects the spectrum of sustainable action as a synthesis of gained experience, problem-solving and forward-looking strategies.
Each volume of "Building Better – Less – Different" examines two fundamental areas of sustainability and explores their specific dynamics and interactions. After an introductory overview, innovative methods and current developments are described and analysed in in-depth essays, international case studies and pointed commentaries. The sustainability criteria of efficiency ("better"), sufficiency ("less") and consistency ("different") form the framework for each book. Together, the five planned volumes provide a systematic and up-to-date compendium of sustainable building.
The first volume presents concepts, methods and examples of circularity in construction and the economy. Urban mining and circular construction are two approaches to the challenges facing architecture and urban design, using techniques such as reversible details and design for disassembly and tools such as material passports and databases. The circular economy is not solely about recycling but encompasses a wide range of strategies from local community projects to new ownership and service models and steering mechanisms such as carbon pricing schemes with climate premiums.
Forthcoming volumes will cover the topics "Energy and Digitization", "Housing and Participation", "Land and Production" and "Health and Materiality".

Building Better - Less - Different: Circular Construction and Circular Economy (Paperback)
Seller: Grand Eagle Retail, Mason, OH, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Waehrend Nachhaltigkeit zur alles uebergreifenden Leitlinie gesellschaftlichen Handels werden soll, sind zugleich ihre Mittel und Wege alles andere als eindeutig klar. Aus ihrem ganzheitlichen Verstaendnis heraus muss Nachhaltigkeit technisch-materielle, soziale, oekonomische, oekologische und auch ethische Strategien vereinen, zwischen denen es komplexe Wechselwirkungen und oft genug auch Ziel- und Prioritaetskonflikte gibt. In keinem anderen Bereich lassen sich diese Zusammenhaenge besser verstehen, darstellen und beeinflussen als im Bauwesen. Besser Weniger Anders Bauen" greift in jedem Band zwei Bereiche von Nachhaltigkeit auf, deren Wechselwirkungen besonders wichtig und zugleich besonders gut zu erfassen sind. Nach einfuehrenden UEberblicksdarstellungen werden fuer jeden Bereich etablierte Methoden, aktuelle Entwicklungen und akute Konfliktfelder beschrieben, analysiert und an internationalen Fallbeispielen im Detail dargestellt. Dies geschieht entlang der Nachhaltigkeitskriterien von Effizienz (besser" ), Suffizienz (weniger" ) und Konsistenz (anders" ). Der erste Band stellt Konzepte, Methoden und Beispiele fuer Kreislaeufe im Bauwesen und in der Wirtschaft dar. Urban Mining und kreislaufgerechtes Bauen sind unterschiedliche Umgangsweisen mit den Herausforderungen in Architektur und Staedtebau. Sie werden mit Methoden des Rueckbaus und des sortenreinen Konstruierens betrieben und von Werkzeugen wie Materialpaessen und -datenbanken gestuetzt. Die Kreislaufwirtschaft erschoepft sich keineswegs im Recycling, sondern umfasst eine weite Spanne von lokalen Gemeinschaftsprojekten ueber neue Eigentums- und Unterhaltsmodelle bis hin zu Steuerungsmechanismen wie dem CO2-Preis mit Klimapraemie.

Paperback. Condition: New. Sustainability is to become the guiding principle of social action and economic activity. At the same time, its ways and means are far from clear. As a holistic praxis, sustainability must combine technical and material as well as social, economic, ecological and also ethical strategies, which have multiple complex interactions and all too often also conflicting goals and priorities. In no other field can these be better observed, addressed and influenced than in architecture and building. Each volume of "Building Better - Less - Different" details two fundamental areas of sustainability and explores their specific dynamics and interactions. After introductory overviews, innovative methods and current developments are described and analysed in in-depth essays, international case studies and pointed commentaries. The sustainability criteria of efficiency ("better"), sufficiency ("less") and consistency ("different") form the framework for each book. The first volume presents concepts, methods and examples of circularity in construction and the economy. Urban mining and circular construction are two approaches to the challenges that architecture and urban design are facing, using techniques such as mono-material construction and design for disassembly, and tools such as materials passports and databases. The circular economy is not solely about recycling but encompasses a wide range of strategies from local community projects to new ownership and service models and steering mechanisms such as carbon fees and dividends.
