Hardback. Condition: New. "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Recover" is the sustainable guideline that has replaced the "Take, Make, Waste" attitude of the industrial age. Based on their background at the ETH Zurich and the Future Cities Laboratory in Singapore, the authors provide both a conceptual and practical look into materials and products which use waste as a renewable resource. This book introduces an inventory of current projects and building elements, ranging from marketed products, among them façade panels made of straw and self-healing concrete, to advanced research and development like newspaper, wood or jeans denim used as isolating fibres. Going beyond the mere recycling aspect of reused materials, it looks into innovative concepts of how materials usually regarded as waste can be processed into new construction elements. The products are organized along the manufacturing processes: densified, reconfigured, transformed, designed and cultivated materials. A product directory presents all materials and projects in this book according to their functional uses in construction: load-bearing, self-supporting, insulating, waterproofing and finishing products.

Paperback. Condition: New. Während Nachhaltigkeit zur alles übergreifenden Leitlinie gesellschaftlichen Handels werden soll, sind zugleich ihre Mittel und Wege alles andere als eindeutig klar. Aus ihrem ganzheitlichen Verständnis heraus muss Nachhaltigkeit technisch-materielle, soziale, ökonomische, ökologische und auch ethische Strategien vereinen, zwischen denen es komplexe Wechselwirkungen und oft genug auch Ziel- und Prioritätskonflikte gibt. In keinem anderen Bereich lassen sich diese Zusammenhänge 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 einführenden Überblicksdarstellungen werden für 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 für Kreisläufe im Bauwesen und in der Wirtschaft dar. Urban Mining und kreislaufgerechtes Bauen sind unterschiedliche Umgangsweisen mit den Herausforderungen in Architektur und Städtebau. Sie werden mit Methoden des Rückbaus und des sortenreinen Konstruierens betrieben und von Werkzeugen wie Materialpässen und -datenbanken gestützt. Die Kreislaufwirtschaft erschöpft sich keineswegs im Recycling, sondern umfasst eine weite Spanne von lokalen Gemeinschaftsprojekten über neue Eigentums- und Unterhaltsmodelle bis hin zu Steuerungsmechanismen wie dem CO2-Preis mit Klimaprämie.

Paperback. Condition: New. Sustainability 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. "Building Better - Less - Different" 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. What the press say about the first volume"Circular Construction and Circular Economy" "The articles, case studies and commentaries in this book make a major contribution to advancing the current discourse on implementing circular-based economic models in the building sector." Hessian Chamber of Architects, book reviews "To think of tomorrow when building today is the core message that Dirk E. Hebel and Felix Heisel want to convey to their readers. . And they also show us how: with the help of relevant examples, grouped under the headings 'better', 'less' and 'different', they demonstrate concrete applications and argue that circular construction can also benefit the construction industry." architektur aktuell Clean energy transition It has long been common knowledge that energy and sustainability are closely interlinked. And yet we are witnessing a profound shift in the sector. While the earlier focus was on improving energy efficiency and increasing the proportion of renewable energy in buildings, current energy conservation policies are supporting a broader, more holistic view. This encompasses integral approaches in which building design and construction measures form part of the energy concept from the outset, as well as accounting for grey energy in building materials and a holistic evaluation of buildings over their entire life cycle. For the energy-intensive and emission-producing building sector, climate change presents an even greater challenge than conserving resources. How can we contribute to a shift in heating strategies and employ new technologies to achieve climate-neutral heating? How can we respond to rising temperatures and the risk of increased energy consumption for cooling? Can low-tech concepts help to reduce the environmental impact of buildings over their life cycle? Shouldn't we take greater account of the users of buildings, and do we need completely different energy supply strategies? Digital Transf.
