Entwerfen und Konstruieren mit organischen Materialien ist ein wichtiger Bestandteil des nachhaltigen Bauens. Allzuoft wird Nachhaltigkeit auf Bautechnologie reduziert, und das Grün hat nur ornamentale Funktion. Dense + Green stellt Innovationen bei hochverdichteten Bautypen dar, die aus dem umfassenden Einsatz von grünen Komponenten wie vertikalen Gärten und begrünten Fassaden hervorgehen. Das Buch beschreibt detailliert Strategien für eine große Zahl von Bauaufgaben und grünen Baubereichen unter unterschiedlichen klimatischen Voraussetzungen. Ausgeführte Beispiele für wichtige Bautypen werden mit durchgängig neu angefertigten Zeichnungen dargestellt und analysiert. Ein Team von international renommierten Autoren legt den aktuellen Wandel im Bauen für nachhaltige städtische Umgebungen dar.Aus dem Inhalt: • Hochverdichtete grüne Bautypologien, von Thomas Schröpfer, Architekt, Singapore University of Technology and Design• Bautechnologien für hochverdichtete grüne Bereiche, von Atelier Ten, Umwelt- und Bautechnikingenieure, New York• Landschaftsarchitektonische Aspekte, von Herbert Dreiseitl, Atelier Dreiseitl/Rambøll Liveable Cities Lab, Überlingen/Singapur/Portland• Botanische Aspekte, von Jean Yong, Ökophysiologe, Singapore University of Technology and Design• Städtebau mit hochverdichteten grünen Bautypen, von Kees Christiaanse, Stadtplaner, ETH Zürich • Analyse von 25 Bauten aus Europe, Asien und USA • Praxisberichte von Foster + Partners, WOHA, Ken Yeang, MVRDV und anderen Architekten The integration of nature in architecture is a key concern of sustainability. However, all too often sustainable design is reduced to improving the energetic performance of buildings and the ornamental application of natural green. Dense + Green explores new architectural typologies that emerge from the integration of green components such as sky terraces, vertical parks and green facades, in high-density buildings. The book describes green strategies in a comparison across different design tasks and climate conditions. In-depth case studies on the most relevant building types, consistently presented with analytical drawings made exclusively for this book, are complemented by expert essays that demonstrate the current paradigm shift in the sustainable urban environment.

This book combines the architectural and urban scales to demonstrate that urban intensity determines the success of housing. The authors provide a typology of housing according to the ways in which diversity and density are created. Comparisons with historical models and critical appraisals based on the authors' unique standing give information on the pros and cons of major types of housing, their pitfalls and successful examples.

The rapidly growing large cities of Asia are critical to understanding our future footprint. Asian cities provide insights into new ways of being densely urbanised. The by-product of this unprecedented metropolitan convergence will be the emergence of new urbanisms and new architectures, new models for living and making culture.0The Supertight refers to the small, intense, robust and hyper-condensed spaces that emerge as a by-product of extreme levels of urban density. Tightness arises as consequence of density, but tightness itself is not density. Tightness is a series of social, economic and cultural practices that have developed in cities as a response to the rapid growth and consolidation of cities. While architectural models of density have been heavily explored, this project investigates the culture of tightness that has emerged in Asian cities over the past thirty years, and the role that designers play in the material and social behaviours of tightness. To be tight is to be small and constrained, but also to be open to the economies and social intimacy of being close. Ultimately this project aims to unpack and convey both the delight and difficulty that emerges through the close occupation of large cities.

"Imagine waking up to the gentle noises of the city, and moving through your day with complete confidence that you will get where you need to go quickly and efficiently. Soft City is about ease and comfort, where density has a human dimension, adapting to our ever-changing needs, nurturing relationships, and accommodating the pleasures of everyday life. How do we move from the current reality in most cites--separated uses and lengthy commutes in single-occupancy vehicles that drain human, environmental, and community resources--to support a soft city approach ? In Soft City David Sim, partner and creative director at Gehl, shows how this is possible, presenting ideas and graphic examples from around the globe. He draws from his vast design experience to make a case for a dense and diverse built environment at a human scale, which he presents through a series of observations of older and newer places, and a range of simple built phenomena, some traditional and some totally new inventions. Sim shows that increasing density is not enough. The soft city must consider the organization and layout of the built environment for more fluid movement and comfort, a diversity of building types, and thoughtful design to ensure a sustainable urban environment and society. Soft City begins with the big ideas of happiness and quality of life, and then shows how they are tied to the way we live. The heart of the book is highly visual and shows the building blocks for neighborhoods: building types and their organization and orientation; how we can get along as we get around a city; and living with the weather. As every citizen deals with the reality of a changing climate, Soft City explores how the built environment can adapt and respond. Soft City offers inspiration, ideas, and guidance for anyone interested in city building. Sim shows how to make any city more efficient, more livable, and better connected to the environment"-- Publisher's website
