The use of natural raw materials is today more significant in architecture than ever before. While timber construction is already firmly established in the field of architecture, there is an increasing focus on alternative construction materials such as clay, straw, cork or bamboo, along with their application features. In full alignment with sustainable construction, they make it possible to plan energy-optimised, recyclable and climate-friendly buildings for the future. The book shows how this can be achieved based on 30 projects of all sizes. The buildings present the entire spectrum of natural materials. They show numerous construction and application methods of the different building materials. This book manifests what is possible using natural construction materials in great detail.

La pierre a cessé depuis longtemps d'être un matériau permettant de réaliser les structures principales des bâtiments. Elle reste cependant très employée et recherchée pour ses qualités spécifiques et son expression. D'autre part, plus que jamais, face aux préoccupations de développement durable, l'utilisation de la pierre provenant des carrières du pays est d'actualité. A travers l'exploration des cas de réussites architecturales où elle a sa part, l'ouvrage tentera de mettre en évidence les voies qui s'offrent à une utilisation pertinente de la pierre et en font toujours un matériau significatif pour l'architecture contemporaine. Réalisé en trois langues, l'ouvrage est destiné à promouvoir aussi largement que possible la connaissance des ressources de ce matériau, en faisant mieux comprendre la variété des effets qu'il peut produire.

The sustainability of the built environment can only be achieved through the maintenance planning of built facilities during their lifecycle while also considering social, economic, functional, technical, and ecological aspects. Stakeholders should be conscious of the existing tools and knowledge for the optimization of maintenance and rehabilitation actions in consideration of the degradation mechanisms and the risk of failure over time. Knowledge concerning the service life prediction of building elements is crucial to the definition, in a rational and technically informed way, of a set of maintenance strategies over the building’s life cycle. Service life prediction methodologies provide a better understanding of the degradation phenomenon of the analyzed elements, enabling the relation of the characteristics of these elements and their exposure, use, and maintenance conditions with their performance over time. This SI intends to provide an overview of the existing knowledge related to various aspects of “Life Cycle Prediction and Maintenance of Buildings”. Relevant topics to this Special Issue include: Methodologies for service life prediction of buildings and components; Maintainability of buildings and components; Serviceability of building elements; Maintenance and repair actions of buildings and components; Definition and optimization of maintenance policies; Financial analysis of various maintenance plans; Whole life cycle costing; Life cycle assessment.
