Abstract

Ephemeral phenomena like fire, precipitation, shade, and wind have emerged as important contemporary protagonists for environmental design due to their dynamic impact on buildings and cities. The importance of including these forces in architecture has gained rapid momentum in the global quest for sustainability. This book investigates the history, theory and applications of climatic design in the built environment examining architecture and landscapes from various time periods. Based on a collaboration between the University of Sydney and the National University of Singapore, the book brings together contributing authors from Australia, Singapore, and the United States. "Dry", "Wet", "Cool" and "Hot" divide the book into categories through which a wide array of representational topics are covered ―from dust storms and clouds, to ice and bushfires. A concluding section presents project examples for exploratory application in the design of architecture.

Abstract

Is the world better off with your building? In 99.9% of cases the answer is 'No'. Almost every building pollutes the air, water, soil and damages biodiversity. What if we turned that around and focused on making a positive contribution? If buildings purify the air, water and soil, create biodiversity and generate more energy than we use? Then we will heal the world with our buildings. What Unilever's Paul Polman describes for companies in the book Net Positive, Vincent van der Meulen describes in Building with a Positive Footprint for the construction industry. The book offers an accessible explanation on how you can build in a radically sustainable way and declares why this is not yet happening. It provides a new method with practical leads, tools and insights to get started yourself, and especially with your team and partners. This book is a must-read for professionals involved in the creation of a building and unites all stakeholders around this sustainable ambition. Vincent van der Meulen is an architect and partner at Kraaijvanger Architects. He wrote this book based on his own experiences, driven by his desire to radically accelerate the sustainability of the construction industry.

Abstract

Climax Change! offers an overview of how the current environmental emergency will impact the practice of architecture. At a crossroads in which the construction sector and built environment produce nearly 40% of greenhouse gases accountable for global warming, architects are just starting to acknowledge their complicity in an impending disaster. In need of a paradigm shift similar to that of the Modern Movement, architecture desperately requires clear guidelines and targets so as to operate its inevitable transformation towards an ecologically-friendly design logic. From historical analyses of ecocide or the environmental avant-gardes, to topics such as decarbonization, degrowth, the Great Transition and the aspirations of Green New Deals, this book features ten essays around today's climate change debates, bringing them home to architectural thinking.

Abstract

In collaboration with IKEA, this inspirational study explores how to live more sustainably and well based on the experience of both ordinary and extraordinary lives, showing how small changes at home will work positively towards sustainability for our planetEver since the 1950s, IKEA retailers have visited homes all over the world to find out more about how we live. Inspired by this approach, Inter IKEA Systems and Phaidon have teamed up to explore the greatest challenge of our generation - living sustainably - through the lives of activists, artists, athletes, entrepreneurs and many more.Achieving a more sustainable life at home is one of the most pressing social and environmental challenges we face today as a society. Together with IKEA, we visit homes, workplaces and shared spaces from Mexico to Moscow, Bali to Beirut to find ways in which we can improve how we live. Our everyday actions might seem inconsequential, but the future of our planet starts with us.Bron : https://www.phaidon.com/store/design/us-and-our-planet-this-is-how-we-live-ikea-9781838664893/

Abstract

While building with reused components has become one of the most widely noted phenomena in the European architectural discourse in recent years, it is only slowly finding its way into the everyday practice of architects. Whenever components that can last for decades are not destroyed but reused for new buildings, this not only saves resources. It also drastically reduces energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions during the construction phase. Circular construction brings with it a whole range of questions, howeverranging from technical and energy-related to legal ones. This applies even more so today, although the practice itself can look back on a long tradition across history. This book is a comprehensive compendium on the topic of reuse in construction that, in addition to the theoretical discourse, also looks at the various practical questions by using a concrete example: the head-end building K.118 on the Sulzer Areal in Winterthur, which is the largest building in Switzerland built primarily with reused components to date. Since 2018, an interdisciplinary research project has evaluated this pilot project with regard to the architectural-constructive, energy-related, economic, procedural and legal aspects involved in its construction. The texts and graphic materials collected in this book present the findings of this study in a highly informative and visually striking way.

Abstract

Ce livre présente des maisons construites à partir de matériaux qui séquestrent le carbone (plantes), utilisent des matériaux à très faible teneur en carbone incorporé (terre et pierre) ou réutilisent des quantités importantes de matériaux existants. Organisé par matériaux (bois, bambou, paille, chanvre, liège, terre, brique, pierre et réutilisation) et intégrant des diagrammes de cycle de vie démontrant comment la matière première est transformée en composants de construction, le livre montre comment les propriétés uniques de chaque matériau peuvent transformer la manière dont les architectes conçoivent des maisons.
