Abstract

Angesichts unserer beschränkten Ressourcen ist auch innerhalb der Baubranche ein Umdenken gefordert. Dabei braucht es eine konstruktive Entwurfskultur, die neue Wege im Umgang mit Baumaterialien aufzeigt. Beyond Concrete. Strategien für eine postfossile Baukultur versammelt Beiträge des Symposiums «Constructive Futures – Beyond Concrete», das den Auftakt für das Studienjahr 2021/2022 am Institut Architektur der FHNW bildete. Es ist ein besonderes Jahr, in dem alle Bachelor- und Masterprogramme gleichermassen dem unreflektierten Griff zu vermeintlich bewährten Bauweisen widerstehen müssen, um konstruktive und zukunftsträchtige Lösungen jenseits unserer fachlichen Komfortzonen zu erkunden. Das Symposium bot Anlass, darüber nachzudenken, wo die Bau- und Planungsbranche derzeit steht und warum uns ein grundlegender Wandel unabdingbar erscheint. Der erste Teil verschafft mit Beiträgen von Axel Schubert und Kim Förster einen generellen Überblick über die Herausforderungen des Bauens für eine postfossile Gesellschaft. Im zweiten Teil zeigen Rotor und Zirkular die Potenziale der Wiederverwendung von Bauten und Bauteilen auf. Im dritten und letzten Teil kommen BC, Harquitectes und Anupama Kundoo zu Wort, deren Projekte mögliche «constructive futures» darstellen und so einen positiven Blick in die Zukunft werfen.

Abstract

Make Do With Now' presents a new perspective on Japanese architecture by introducing a young generation of architects and designers. Influenced by the Tohoku earthquake and Fukushima nuclear disaster of 2011, they share the desire for a sincere engagement with social, economic, and ecological issues today. Their creative handling of limited resources, found materials, and existing building stock helps them in their quest to respond to these urgent topics. The book's written contributions and photographic essays provide a multifaceted impression of architectural innovation in Japan now, including more than 20 current projects and a closer look at five architecture practices.

Abstract

The catalogue of the exhibition ‘Anna Heringer: Essential Beauty’ covers the main works and projects by the German architect, from her buildings in Bangladesh – the METI and DESI schools or the Anandaloy Building –, in China – the bamboo shelters and the Ceramics Museum in Majiayao – and in Africa – an educational campus in Ghana or a kindergarten in Zimbabwe –, to the projects developed in Europe – the birth space in Austria, an Ayurveda center in Germany or an ecotourism project in Spain, in which she has incorporated traditional materials and techniques from those countries, such as rammed earth. Under the motto ‘Architecture is a tool to improve lives,’ Heringer has also impulsed initiatives like the Dipdii Textiles workshop for women in Bangladesh or the Laufen Manifesto for a more humane design culture. Exhibition: ICO Museum, Madrid, Spain (09.02-08.05.2022).

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

"Heating, Cooling, Lighting, the leading guide to environmental control systems design for over 25 years, provides future architects and practicing professionals with the knowledge and tools needed to design a sustainable built environment at the schematic design stage. This book treats heating, cooling, and lighting not as isolated topics, but as integrated parts towards manipulating the environment to achieve net zero consumption. Responding to current industry trends, this Fifth Edition has been completely restructured based on net zero design strategies. Reflecting the latest developments in codes, standards, and rating systems for energy efficiency, this Fifth Edition includes three new chapters: Retrofits - best practices for efficient energy optimization in existing buildings, Integrated Design - strategies for synergizing passive and active design, and Design Tools - how to utilize the best tools to benchmark a building's sustainability and net zero potential; as well as an extensively updated Lighting chapter. Instructor's have access to an Instructor's Manual that includes exercises, projects, discussion questions, and web resources" [Publisher]

Abstract

With rising populations around the world and the pressures of looming climatic catastrophe, the work of Vo Trong Nghia is a call for architecture to transform itself from a source of pollution to a reason for hope. Nor is this idea anecdotal: the World Green Building Council estimates that 39% of energy-related carbon emissions can be attributed to buildings. An awareness of architecture's responsibilities has permeated the profession in the developed world, while new ideas and solutions are coming from places where these issues are most acute.0 Following a long recovery from decades of war, Vietnam has emerged as one of the most exciting centres of design Asia - led largely by the work of Vo Trong Nghia, born one year after the end of the Vietnam War, whose work has gained an international following. As a student in Japan, he studied under the minimalist architect Hiroshi Naito and encountered the work of the Colombian architect Simon Velez, a proponent of bamboo architecture with its large spans and high, voluminous spaces - the ideas and teachings of both were to have a profound influence on his own designs. The buildings of Vo Trong Nghia Architects, established in Ho Chi Minh City in 2006, make clear reference to these sources and influences of the past, and to Vo's own adherence to the Five Precepts of Buddhist teaching. The architect's two main themes - green architecture and bamboo as a building material - form the basis of this two-volume celebration of his work. From the Wind and Water Bar, his first foray into bamboo as a building material, to resort complexes, art installations and his game-changing series of residences, House for Trees, Vo Trong Nighia: Building Nature proves that green architecture creates local relevance, beauty and elegance in its own right.

Abstract

Without environmental justice, there can be no social justice. This volume sets the table for inclusive architectural engagement during a time circumscribed by pandemic, climate change and inequality. An esteemed group of international voices amplify interactions involving sexism, racism, classism, homophobia, transphobia and environmental catastrophe, exploring how they inextricably linked. Without acknowledging the interconnectedness of these injustices, we will not find effective ways to halt the deepening crisis.

Abstract

"The rapid increase in global carbon emissions over the past century has created a climate crisis that threatens to disrupt the world's cultural, economic, and social fabric. The building sector is responsible for well over half of the world's extraction and consumption of carbon-based material and hydrocarbon energy. If the current design and construction approach remains unchecked, and as the world's population growth continues to accelerate, the building sector's demand for raw material and energy for new construction will continue to exacerbate the atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations."

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.
