Abstract

Moderne ideeën en technologieën veranderen onze kijk op elkaar en de omgeving. We proberen en leren nieuwe dingen die onze maatschappij duurzamer kunnen maken. Maar welke methode werkt het best in die transitie naar duurzaamheid?Dit boek onderzoekt hoe stedelijke verandering werkt en zorgt voor duurzame groei. Het identificeert factoren die de overgang naar een duurzame, klimaatneutrale stad versnellen en doet concrete beleidsvoorstellen.If you think innovation comes primarily from the business world...If you think city making can only be done by public administrations...If you think sustainability is for tree huggers...Think again.The future is the result of what we all create together. Change makers are the innovators of our time. Change the World City by City shines a light on their work by focusing on transition initiatives in five European cities. These initiatives aim to make the world a better place by changing the way we think, act and co-operate.At first glance, their transformative capacity might be tiny in a world dominated by large-scale corporations and powerful vested interests. Yet when you dive deeper, you will discover that making the future happens organically, everywhere, all the time, that urban innovation does not thrive on competition but on collaboration and that the work to make this world a better place starts with ourselves and not with others.Bron: https://www.lannoocampus.be/nl/change-world-city-city

Abstract

Health and environmental compatibility are key topics in contemporary society. The book shows how the built environment can be aesthetically pleasing, modern and, at the same time, healthy and environmentally friendly. It makes the link between architecture as a design task and a building biology approach to design. Building biology teaches us about the holistic interaction between people and their built environment. It combines building culture with ecology and disciplines such as chemistry, biology, geology, and psychology. Using the building of the Institute of Building Biology + Sustainability (IBN) as a model, building biology criteria and approaches are explained in detail. Numerous additional current projects illustrate how these are implemented in responsible, healthy, and hence sustainable architecture.

Abstract

"Soft Living Architecture explores the invention of new architectures based on living processes. It crafts a unique intersection between two fast-developing disciplines: biomimicry and biodesign in architecture, and bioinformatics and natural computing in the natural sciences. This is the first book to examine both the theory and methodology of architecture and design working directly with the natural world. It explores a range of approaches from the use of life-like systems in building design to the employment of actual growing and living cell and tissue cultures as architectural materials - creating architecture that can change, learn and grow with us. The use of 'living architecture' is cutting-edge and speculative, yet it is also inspiring a growing number of designers worldwide to adopt alternative perspectives on sustainability and environmental design. The book examines the ethical and theoretical issues arising alongside case-studies of experimental practice, to explore what we mean by 'natural' in the Anthropocene, and raise deep questions about the nature of design and the design of nature. This provocative and at times controversial book shows why it will become ever more necessary to embrace living processes in architecture if we are to thrive in a sustainable future."--Provided by publisher.

Abstract

Le Global Award for Sustainable Architecture a été créé en 2007 par l'architecte et professeure Jana Revedin avec la Cité de l'architecture & du patrimoine de Paris comme partenaire culturel. Il récompense chaque année cinq architectes qui partagent l'éthique du développement durable et proposent des expériences innovantes, en milieu urbain comme dans les grands territoires. Les 55 architectes lauréats depuis la création du prix forment un réseau collectif mondial d'échange et d'expérimentation scientifique et professionnelle : le Globa Award for Sustainable Architecture Community. Le thème retenu pour le jury de la onzième édition du Global Award était "Les ressources invisibles de l'architecture" . Les lauréats 2017 sont Takaharu Tezuka + Yui Tezuka (Tezuka Architects, Japon), Sonam Wangchuk (Inde), Assemble (Angleterre), Brian MacKay-Lyons et Talbot Sweetapple (MacKay-Lyons & Sweetapple Architects, Canada), Paulo David (Portugal). Leurs travaux, présentés ici, confirment la densité du débat sur les rapports entre architecture, ressources et développement.

Abstract

Mounting resource shortages worldwide coupled with skyrocketing extraction costs for new materials have made the prospect of materials reuse and recycling an issue of paramount importance. A fundamental goal of the sustainable design movement is to derive utmost use from construction materials and components, including energy, water, materials, building components, whole structures, and even entire infrastructures. Written by an expert with many years of experience in both industry and academe, this book explores a wide range of sustainable design strategies which designers around the globe are using to create efficient and aesthetically pleasing buildings from waste streams and discarded items. Emphasizing performance issues, design considerations and process constraints, it describes numerous fully realized projects, and explores theoretical applications still on the drawing board. There is a growing awareness worldwide of the need for cyclical systems of materials reuse. Pioneering efforts at "closed-loop" design date as far back as 1960s, but only recently have architects and designers begun to focus on the opportunities which discarded materials can provide for creating high performance structures. A source of insight and fresh ideas for architects, engineers, and designers, Resource Salvation: Reviews the theory and practice of building material and waste reuse and describes best practices in that area worldwide. Describes projects that use closed-loop thinking to influence and inspire the design of components, interiors, whole buildings, or urban landscapes. Illustrates how using discarded materials and focusing on closed loops can lead to new concepts in architecture, building science, and urban design. Demonstrates how designers have developed aesthetically compelling solutions to the demands of rigorous performance standards. Resource Salvation is a source of information and inspiration for architects, civil engineers, green building professionals, building materials suppliers, landscape designers, urban designers, and government policymakers. It is certain to become required reading in university courses in sustainable architecture, as well as materials engineering and environmental engineering curricula with a sustainable design component.

Abstract

Le réemploi des éléments de construction est aujourd'hui devenu une ambition dans de nombreuses politiques publiques en matière de gestion des ressources. Les principes d'urban mining, de métabolisme urbain et de bouclage des flux de matériaux s'installent progressivement dans les esprits et les pratiques, mais de nombreux défis techniques, législatifs, sociaux et culturels freinent encore l'évolution des usages vers un modèle d'économie véritablement " circulaire " pour le secteur de la construction. Rassemblant des chercheurs et des concepteurs spécialisés dans les questions d'économie matérielle, le groupe Rotor présente ici un état des lieux sans précédent du réemploi des matériaux de construction. Il expose les obstacles qui subsistent, les solutions permettant d'y remédier, illustre le propos d'exemples remarquables et replace cette pratique dans sa dimension historique. Fruit d'une expérience internationalement reconnue, notamment dans le cadre de Rotor Deconstruction, entreprise active dans la valorisation d'éléments de construction de réemploi, cette référence fait également le point sur les dimensions et les perspectives économiques de cette pratique. Largement illustré et tout en couleur, ce livre s'adresse aux étudiants et praticiens actifs dans le domaine de la construction (architectes, ingénieurs civils) ou concernés par le réemploi des matériaux de construction (bureaux d'études, commanditaires, pouvoirs publics, consultants en environnement).

Abstract

From the first field trips for the design of a library in Burundi to involving over 150 workshop participants in the construction of a public building in Belgium, the stories compiled in this book tell how BC architects & studies engage in acts of building. BC believes that, in order to have a positive impact on our society, architects need to intervene beyond the narrow definition of the professional who designs and controls the execution of buildings. Hence, BC ventures into material production, contracting, storytelling, knowledge transfer, community organization, which influence their design approach. By describing the way BC architects & studies design and perform the act of building, the book suggests a trajectory of how BC hopes architecture can contribute to our world in transition.

Abstract

Rebuild by Design (RBD) was developed for the Presidential Hurricane Sandy Rebuilding Task Force after Hurricane Sandy hit the northeast Coast of the United States in October-November, 2012. Using an innovative, design driven process based on the design competition model, 'Rebuild by Design' places local communities and civic leaders at the heart of a robust, interdisciplinary creative process to generate implementable solutions for a more resilient region. This book aims not so much to illustrate what 'Rebuild by Design' did, but to reflect on it, assess it in all its aspects and embed it in a broader context to offer a guide for to politicians, designers, change managers, community leaders, researchers, activists and others, offering future approaches wherever climate-change induced, water-related urban challenges arise.
