Abstract

"Circular Building and Circular Economy presents concepts, methods and examples of circularity in construction and the economy. Urban mining and circular construction are two approaches to the challenges that architecture and urban design are facing, using techniques such as mono-material construction and design for disassembly, and tools such as materials passports and databases. The circular economy is not solely about recycling but encompasses a wide range of strategies from local community projects to new ownership and service models and steering mechanisms such as carbon fees and dividends" [Publisher]

Abstract

"SUDU -- the Sustainable Urban Dwelling Unit -- is a full-scale prototype for an affordable two-story house built with local materials and traditional building techniques in Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa. Developed in a collaborative endeavor between the Ethiopian Institute of Architecture, Building Construction and City Development and ETH Zurich, SUDU ties in with the rich tradition of loam construction while at the same time taking a fresh look at how to adapt this tradition to contemporary needs. The first volume additionally explores the history of Ethiopian architecture, the postcolonial nature of its current construction industry, and the challenges of the country's rapid urbanization. The second volume, a manual with more than 600 detailed drawings and instructions, demonstrates how to build a house, step-by-step, with the most readily available building material -- earth"--Page 4, cover.

Abstract

This publication is centred around twelve manifesto points towards a people-centred urbanism and an architecture of belonging in times of rapid global urbanisation. Based on the authors' eleven year research experience, the book draws conclusions from Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, as its case study. It contains essays on the historic development and the current housing situation of the city by local experts and numerous project examples. Addressing policy makers, architects and urban planners alike, the manifesto gives a series of clues and guidelines for a sustainable urbanisation of contemporary African metropolis.

Abstract

NEXT GENERATION BUILDING MATERIALS The 21st century faces a radical change in how we produce construction materials – a shift towards cultivating, breeding, raising, farming, or growing future resources. This book presents innovative industrialized production methods for cultivated building materials, like cement grown by bacteria, bricks made of mushroom mycelium, or bamboo fibers as reinforcement for concrete. Spanning from scientific research to product development and architectural application, this book builds a bridge between the academic and the professional world of architecture. The book describes the challenges, strategies, and goals in the first part, followed by a second part on bamboo, A cultivated building material and a number of examples in the third part which form the bridge from cultivated materials to building products. baumaterialien einer neuen generation Die Produktion von Baumaterialien verändert sich im 21. Jahrhundert radikal: Künftige Ressourcen werden vermehrt, angebaut oder gezüchtet – sie werden organisch erzeugt. Dieses Buch stellt innovative industrialisierte Produktionsmethoden für die organische Erzeugung von Baumaterialien vor. Dazu gehören zum Beispiel durch Bakterien erzeugter Zement, aus Pilzzellen gewonnene Ziegel oder die Verwendung von Bambusfasern für die Betonarmierung. Die Darstellung schlägt einen Bogen von der wissenschaftlichen Forschung über die Produktentwicklung bis hin zu Anwendungen in Architektur und Bauwesen. Sie schlägt eine Brücke vom akademischen zum praktischen Bereich des Entwerfens und Bauen. Der erste Teil beschreibt Herausforderungen, Strategien und Ziele, gefolgt von einem zweiten Teil über Bambus als einem organisch erzeugten Baumaterial und einem dritten Teil mit zahlreichen Beispielen für Entwicklungen von Bauprodukten aus organisch erzeugten Baumerialien.
