Nachhaltig, zirkulär, zeitgemäß
Die meisten Gebäude sind aus verschiedenen Baumaterialien errichtet, aber nur selten wird diese heterogene Komposition als eine Frage des Entwurfs und der Performance betrachtet. Das Buch analysiert weltweit Bautraditionen und zeitgenössische Praktiken, um die Möglichkeiten und Herausforderungen des Materialmix in der Architektur zu ergründen. Visuell beeindruckende, farbkodierte Zeichnungen dokumentieren die Materialien und Konstruktionen der dargestellten Projekte. Anhand von gebauten Beispielen, Entwurfsexperimenten und Texten untersuchen die Autoren die Chancen heterogener Konstruktionen für eine zeitgemäße, nachhaltige, zirkulär und kulturell geprägte Architektur. Mit Beiträgen von Jeannette Kuo, Ajay Manthripragada und Jesús Vassallo sowie Fotografien von Naho Kubota. Grafische Gestaltung von Andrew LeClair.
- Detailliert und attraktiv illustrierte Beispiele zu hybriden Bautechniken
- Eigens für die Publikation erstellte Zeichnungen zeigen den Materialeinsatz
- Ausführliche Essays zu den technischen, kulturellen und ökologischen Implikationen heterogener Bauweisen
