Abstract

Themes such as global warming, sustainability and the circular economy dominate current affairs. In the design world, not only young designers, but also large houses are increasingly interested in the use of alternative, more sustainable materials and the end-of-life aspect of their products. While that is certainly a step in the right direction, this publication aims to go even further. More than focusing on the product itself, this book goes deeper into the emotional, irrational connection that users have with a piece of furniture or object, and the way in which this relationship can be shaped. The aim is to design furniture based on derived, innovative parameters that people can and want to use throughout their lives. (Bron: covertekst)

Abstract

What does it mean to live in a material world, and how do materials of the past and present hold the keys to our future? This book tackles these questions by focusing on various issues that human beings face and by discussing potential materials-related solutions. Through the lens of intriguing projects by designers, artists, makers, and scientists, it presents a colorful panoply of ideas, technologies, and creative efforts that focus on the earth's most basic elements, while also showing how these elements can be transformed into entirely new materials. It explores, for example, how ancient practices such as dyeing fabric and making glue may hold the secret to renewable and earth-friendly consumer products, as well as how recycling plastics can tackle food waste, and how a type of light metal being developed may one day make air travel less fuel-reliant. This book also investigates the potential of the digital experience, suggesting how this most ephemeral type of matter can be used to improve our world. Eye-catching and provocative, 'Why Materials Matter' serves as both a stimulating catalog of possibilities and a timely manifesto on how to consume, manufacture, and design for a better future.

Abstract

Duurzame stedenbouw is geen utopie. Concepten als ‘CO2-neutraal’, ‘klimaatbestendig’ en ‘cradle tot cradle’ zijn inmiddels vanzelfsprekend in de dagelijkse bouwpraktijk. Duurzame stedenbouw wordt steeds meer de drager van duurzame ruimtelijke ontwikkeling. The next step brengt de actuele discussies, kennisontwikkeling en inzichten onder de aandacht en geeft nieuwe en geactualiseerde voorbeelden van geslaagde projecten. The next step is een compleet herziene uitgave van Duurzame stedenbouw, perspectieven en voorbeelden, dat in 2005 verscheen. Uitgave in samenwerking met Stichting Beursloge Projecten. In opdracht van het ministerie van VROM, de Stuurgroep Experimenten Volkshuisvesting, SenterNovem en Habiforum Urban planning and design faces the enormous challenge of creating and maintaining liveable towns and cities. Sustainability must be the guiding principle. Sustainable Urban Design – The Next Step reviews the current situation in the development of sustainable urban design. This book is a fully revised edition of Sustainable Urban Design – Examples and Perspectives (2005). The publication received the Gerd Albers Award for the best publication from the International Society of City and Regional Planners (ISOCARP).Sustainable Urban Design – The Next Step has been compiled by an interdisciplinairy working group of urban designers, planners and landscape architects. The publication contains three essays that review the latest developments. The most important recent topics are discussed in a round table discussion. Six example projects, either new or fully revised and updated, clearly show that sustainable urban design is no utopia, but is undergoing continual development in practice and is becoming an integral and essential part of modern urban design. With more than thirty background texts and reference projects from the Netherlands and elsewhere, Sustainable Urban Design – The Next Step is the most up to date and complete standard work on sustainable urban design.
