[.fr] La quête de légèreté n'est pas nouvelle. L'ambition de réduire la quantité de matière débute il y a un siècle dans un contexte de pénurie de logements et de matériaux. Avec l'urgence de bâtir plus et l'obligation de consommer moins, quelques pionniers inventent d'autres architectures. Ils s'appellent Richard Buckminster Fuller, Charlotte Perriand, Pierre Jeanneret, Lauwrence Kocher, Walter Gropius, Jean Prouvé, Charles et Ray Eames, Makoto Masuzawa, Jorn Utzon, et aujourd'hui Hans Walter Müller, Renzo Piano ou Shigeru Ban. Leur quête prend désormais un sens nouveau que l'ouvrage révèle par l'analyse et le redessin. Chacune des trente architectures décomposées selon un protocole développé par l'agence Philippe Rizzotti Architecte et le laboratoire IBI de l'ETH Zürich, dévoile des potentiels. Economie de moyen, rapidité de mise en oeuvre, modularité, flexibilité et évolutivité... ces qualités inhérentes à la construction légère se conjuguent avec nos ambitions écologiques actuelles de frugalité.

[.en] Wood has a centuries-long tradition as well a huge potential for future use as a highly versatile building material. ‘Crafting Wood: Structure and Expression’ presents newly gained knowledge on timber construction and on timber joints in particular. This book—lavishly illustrated with plans, sketches, and photographs—emerged from an international educational cooperation of the University of Liechtenstein in Vaduz, the Norwegian University of Science and Technology NTNU in Trondheim, and the Academy of Architecture in Amsterdam. The program treated a vast range timber joints from diverse theoretical and practical aspects. Students conceived and made by hand new joints that were then applied in prototypes for entire structures, designed also as part of the course, at a scale of 1:5. The volume analyzes this learning process and offers a new introduction to the topic of timber joints in architecture through text and images.

[.en] Wood is an ideal building material for sustainable architecture. It grows back and absorbs large quantities of CO2. But where does it actually come from in each case, and how will we make forestry and wood processing fit for the future? In what ways are conventional notions of professions and qualifications in architecture, engineering, and construction tested by using wood as building material?

French journalist Michèle Leloup together with architect François Leclercq—a pioneer of timber construction in France—have for a long time explored the ecological, economic, industrial, and technical challenges of using timber for major structures and urban architecture. This book summarizes their findings using examples from the French forestry and construction industry. It also takes a look at Austria and the innovative work by Hermann Kaufmann, an internationally revered leader in the further development of traditional timber architecture. In addition, the book features five projects by Leclercq Associés.

Richly and attractively illustrated with new images by French architecture photographer Cyrille Weiner, The Wood That Makes Our Cities offers a concise survey of topical questions and findings in contemporary timber construction.

[.en] Solar energy is in focus worldwide. So is the role of cities and public governments for creating a more sustainable urban future. This volume highlights the role of solar energy and other solar related energy technologies for a low carbon and sustainable energy system, particularly for cities and city regions in the South. The articles refer to solar energy generation technologies, smart city planning concepts, as well as “passive” solar building design approaches. Thus, the volume takes a broad and applied approach by analysing projects and different solutions for a more efficient and solar oriented building design and technology implementation.

‘Energy and Sun’ takes a close look at the current possibilities of solar energy, which is safe, sustainable and low in carbon emissions, and particularly viable for urban regions in the Southern hemisphere. The essays in this volume are grouped into three sections: "Solar and Sustainable Energy Technologies" (with discussions on photovoltaic off-grid technologies in rural Andhra Pradesh, energy efficiency in irrigation, solar power plants for South Africa and the Joined Biogas, Charcoal and Erosion Prevention Project in Hyderabad, India); "Solutions For Buildings and Settlements" (including essays on housing design in the MENA region and the calculation of the energy performance of buildings and energy efficiency in Iranian cities); and "System Analytical and Integration Approaches" (with essays on solar and other options to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, solar energy usage in Gauteng, South Africa and photovoltaic systems for social and economic empowerment in peri-urban and rural areas in South Africa).

[.it] L’accordo di collaborazione tra la Shanghai Jiao Tong University e il Ministero Italiano dell’Ambiente e della Tutela del Territorio e del Mare ha portato alla costruzione del GEL, acronimo di “Green Energy Laboratory”, realizzato dallo studio di architettura Archea Associati di Firenze. Nato come centro di ricerca e laboratorio di analisi e divulgazione di tecnologie a bassa emissione di carbonio nel settore edilizio e residenziale, si presenta come un corpo elementare con solo due aggettivazioni a cui è affidata l’immagine generale: l’ultimo livello, il terzo, arretrato rispetto all’ingombro della cassa edilizia con un forte tetto inclinato per ospitare i pannelli fotovoltaici, e il rivestimento dell’involucro realizzato con un paramento avvolgente di elementi di terracotta il cui disegno interpreta alcuni pittogrammi tipici della lingua cinese. Il resto del complesso sembra essere asservito a questi due elementi in una complementarietà rigorosa. Risulta evidente quanto il progetto miri a essere un simbolo di cooperazione interculturale tra Italia e Cina, accomunate da una millenaria tradizione di accorgimenti per il risparmio energetico e per il comfort ambientale, specialmente per quel che riguarda l’edilizia residenziale. Il libro, corredato da saggi critici, disegni tecnici, foto di cantiere e del progetto ultimato, illustra questo risultato di perfetta sincronia tra tradizione, ingegno architettonico e sostenibilità.

[.en] The Green Energy Laboratory (GEL) is a research center for low environmental impact building technologies on the the Minhang Campus of Jiao Tong University in Shanghai. Created in collaboration between the university and the Italian Ministry for Environment, Land and Sea Protection, it was designed and built by the Florentine architectural firm Archea Associati in 2012. This book features critical essays, technical drawings, photos of the construction site and the completed project, and illustrates the harmony of this structure through its perfect blend of tradition, architectural ingenuity, and sustainability. The GEL building is based around a central courtyard with a retractable roof. The top, or third floor, is recessed in relation to the main block, with a steeply sloped roof to house solar panels. The outer shell of the building’s double skin is composed of terracotta elements designed to form pictograms common in the Chinese language. This landmark project represents a symbol of intercultural cooperation between Italy and China.

[.en] Compiles ON-A work philosophy: a constant search for innovative ad hoc solutions for each project, using the most updated technologies and design research. This book exposes and collects the innovations developed through 15 years of work at ON-A, through lengthy conversations between its founders and directors (Eduardo Gutiérrez and Jordi Fernández) and the editor. This is not a usual monograph, but rather an exploration of ideas from an innovation point of view, according to four basic criteria: Design, Laboratory, Technology and Emotion.

With the aim of understanding the different degrees of innovation on how they operate in ON-A, the book is organized into these four blocks. The first one is routed on Design as a starting point to attend the control of the geometry (inspired on mineral, arboreal, and organic shapes) and encoding the information (using parametric design, BIM, and coding techniques). That methodology allows us to visualize and interact with the continuum of data and workflows of all stages of development, attending to the entire life cycle of the project. Since ON-A considers themselves as a Laboratory rather than as a professional architecture office, the second conversation explores our ways of making innovative architecture throughout bioclimatic and sustainable experiments and tests done in their works and projects. In that chapter they talk about how to incorporate the 'green' feature through bioarchitecture —a layer of technological green that appeals to sustainability from materiality, management and maintenance— in order to re-naturalize cities and reconnect people with the natural environment in favor of an ecosystem balance. Technology is the third chapter, a key tool to enhance design and creativity, carrying out complete material, structural and installation modeling that gives us control of any layout whether we use curved glass, precast GRC, wood or another innovative material technique to build their projects. Last but not least, the fourth conversation is about how ON-A’s projects work as a catalyst for creating positive Emotions: physical-visual, well-being, and comfort that contribute occupants’ health and flexible usability of the designed spaces.

As a result of these four conversations, the book shows how to innovate in architecture from different layers with only one concern: helping to reduce the environmental impact of human intervention, improving citizens' quality of life and seeking the emotional interactions between the inhabitants and their environment.

[.en] Climate change is one of the major challenges facing cities in the future. Landscape architecture is particularly in demand here because it offers solutions that are characterized by complexity and interdisciplinarity and contribute to the quality of everyday life. These range from green roofs and facades to urban gardening and the landscaping of large-scale protection works. This volume presents measures and plans of eleven major cities in North and South America, from Vancouver to Rio de Janeiro, to protect their inhabitants and their habitats against future storms, floods, landslides or long periods of heat and drought. Outstanding projects in the featured cities are analyzed in their geographic and climatic context. The author also addresses the social and cultural dimensions of resilience.

How can architecture create a pleasant indoor climate using construction techniques and as little technology as possible? Researchers from four different departments at the Technical University of Munich joined forces with the engineering firm Transsolar Energietechnik to explore integral strategies for simple, energy-efficient construction. The architecture firm Florian Nagler Architekten implemented the plans developed by the TUM project for three prototype buildings made of solid wood, masonry and lightweight concrete in monolithic construction. Using these apartment buildings as examples, the guide vividly elucidates the six core principles of simple construction.

• Analysis of three exemplary apartment buildings
• Monolithic structures in wood, lightweight concrete, and brick
• The result of an interdisciplinary research project at the Technical University of Munich (TUM)

Comment les églises procuraient-elles de la fraîcheur l'été dans les régions méditerranéennes ? Pourquoi les petits pois sont-ils à l'origine des cathédrales ? Pourquoi les arts décoratifs n'étaient pas seulement décoratifs ? Pourquoi la peur des mauvaises odeurs a-t-elle fait s'élever d'immenses coupoles sur les bâtiments ? Comment un brin de menthe a-t-il ramené la nature en ville ? Pourquoi l'éruption d'un volcan a-t-elle inventé la ville moderne ? Pourquoi l'iode a-t-il provoqué l'urbanisation du littoral ? Comment la viande séchée des Grisons a-t-elle donné naissance à l'architecture moderne ? Comment le pétrole a-t-il fait pousser des villes dans le désert ? Pourquoi les antibiotiques ont-ils permis de revenir habiter en ville ? Comment le CO2, est-il en train de transformer les villes et les bâtiments ? L'Histoire naturelle de l'architecture met en lumière les causes naturelles, physiques, biologiques ou climatiques qui ont influencé le déroulé de l'histoire architecturale et provoqué le surgissement de ses figures, de la préhistoire à nos jours. Induite par un contexte d'accès massif et facile à l'énergie, celle du charbon puis du pétrole, et par les progrès de la médecine (avec l'invention des vaccins et des antibiotiques), l'historiographie politique, sociale et culturelle a, au XXe siècle, largement ignoré les faits physiques, géographiques, climatiques et bactériologiques qui ont façonné de façon décisive, à travers les siècles, les formes architecturales et urbaines. Relire l'histoire de l'architecture à partir de ces données objectives, matérielles, réelles permet d'affronter les défis environnementaux majeurs de notre siècle et de mieux construire, aujourd'hui, face à l'urgence climatique.

[.en] This illustrated volume provides insight into the work of the internationally renowned architectural firm FGP Atelier, famous for its spectacular high-rises in Asia and the construction of the biggest baseball stadium in Mexico City. Accompanying the many photographs are essays that elucidate the basic conceptual principles behind the firm’s architectural work. The result is a multilayered “big picture” that always allows for a clearly visible signature, despite the differences among the projects. Using the terms “values,” “network,” and “ambition,” the publication discusses current issues, such as sustainability, ethics, technical design, the infrastructure for a more equitable city, and finally the future of living. With Progression, FGP Atelier provides interesting food for thought about the question of which direction architecture as a discipline might take as it continues to develop.

👤 Francisco González Pulido (*1970) is a Mexican architect known for his expressive yet rational approach to design. He has worked on many different types of buildings in America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East and is the recipient of many awards.

[.en] As more of the earth’s surface is swallowed up by the built environment, architects are increasingly advised to integrate urban flora and fauna into their designs. Whether developing green roofs, living walls, abundant indoor courtyards, or balconies that connect interior and exterior spaces, the urge to intertwine nature and architecture has never been more apparent. Embracing this ubiquitous trend, ‘Evergreen Architecture’ surveys a broad spectrum of residential, institutional, urban, and rural spaces. But as change occurs and solutions to the climate crisis are being integrated on the ground, many new questions are posed. How do residents keep moss-covered walls alive? How can a skyscraper uphold the weight of hundreds of trees? ‘Evergreen Architecture’ investigates this movement from the perspective of the architects leading the charge whilst offering diagrams and plans to help the reader understand how each building came together and how it intends to survive.

[.en] ‘The Ecologies of the Envelope’ theorizes the building envelope as a literal embodiment of the social, political, technological, and economic contingencies which have become embedded within it over the last century, analyzing the historical lineages, heroes and villains that helped define the complex material ecologies we see within the envelope today.While the fac¸ade is one of the most thoroughly theorized elements of architecture, it is also one of the most questioned since the end of the 19th century. Within the discipline of architecture, the traditional understanding of the fac¸ade focuses primarily on semiotic and compositional operations (such as proportional laws and linguistic codes) which are deployed on the building’s surface. Rather than producing a stylistic analysis of the fac¸ade, we investigate the historical lineages of the performances, components, assembly types, and material entanglements that constitute the contemporary building envelope.

[.es] In contrast to a decade ago, when ecological architecture was considered a luxury, it has now become essentially impossible to build without considering sustainability issues. Aspects of ecological balance have become an important part in the planning and construction process. In recent years, a canon of standard methods and possibilities has emerged to achieve this goal of environmentally friendly architecture. However, there are architects whose ideas and techniques for sustainable buildings go beyond the standards that have now been established and are sometimes also mandatory. This publication discusses such new and innovative solutions for ecological construction. The author presents projects from all over the world that stand out from the standard measures and concepts and point the way to the future.

[.en] With the world’s population growing by 2.6 people per second, by 2050 we will need twice as many homes, highways, streets, and schools–all kinds of built infrastructure—if we are to maintain our standard of living. That will require vast quantities of construction materials and untold emissions of carbon dioxide, both for building new structures and heating, cooling, and maintaining them over the decades. While people in construction have a growing sense of the environmental toll of their business, the shift toward more sustainable standards can seem frustratingly slow. Yet the good news is that the scale of the industry means construction can be both a problem and a solution, as even small changes in the way we build can have an outsize impact on global carbon output. 

‘The Materials Book’ offers essays, case studies, and a catalog of building materials by more than 60 architects, engineers, and scientists from the world over on environmentally mindful and socially responsible use of materials and resources. The ideas range from centuries-old traditions to newly developed bio-materials, from low- tech, artisanal methods to advanced digital technologies, from incremental shifts to massive, top-down changes. There’s no single solution, no silver bullet, but rather a palette of ideas that, taken together, can serve as a guidebook for those who want to build in a better way—not in some distant future, but right now.

[.en] Timber has evolved from a traditional building material to ‘mass timber’, an engineered high- performance product from which complete construction systems and even high-rise buildings can be made. Tomorrow’s Timber, written by Pablo van der Lugt, shows how mass timber has the potential to usher an ecological, technical, and well-being revolution in the way we build.

In Tomorrow’s Timber, new timber innovations are explored, including the materials, products, elements and complete building systems, providing context for this emerging shift in design and construction. Inspiring case studies worldwide show that the mass timber revolution is happening as we speak. Tomorrow’s Timber contextualizes the challenges and how forests and mass timber can help solve our global problems by mitigating climate change while supporting the move to a less resource dependent, circular bio-based economy. Finally, the book tackles real mass timber design opportunities and challenges on building and site level, before providing a promising outlook towards the future.

Tomorrow’s Timber is an informative and important resource for those committed to restoring our balance with the planet while serving the necessities of humankind. Abundantly illustrated, Tomorrow’s Timber covers all the above topics based on the latest scientific insights and statistics and lessons learned from practice.

[.en] This book brings together a collection of recent projects and classic architectural designs by Mario Cucinella Architects, and explores the sensitive, creative, and sustainable solutions that architecture and nature can provide in answer to global challenges. The way forward is approached via constructive strategies of the past and from the plant world, looking at how man has adapted in every latitude, climate, and culture. Buildings of the past considered resources like wind, sun, rain, and local materials, sustainable strategies that are increasingly important today. Research in the plant world inspires buildings that can adapt to the climate and resonate with the environment. Each project featured here is accompanied by a wealth of illustrations and drawings, and an in-depth analysis that interprets all aspects of construction.

[.en] Building with straw bales is a technique pioneered a century ago in the state of Nebraska. In recent years there has been a renaissance in the use of straw as a building material largely in the American Southwest, but also in Canada, Australia, France, Holland, Germany, Austria and China. Straw is a renewable resource with excellent insulating properties. It is a cheap and easy-to-use option for self-builders, and even large-scale structures can be erected using timber framework filled with straw. This book is a practical, hands-on guide to building with straw. Fire safety, protection against moisture, damp, pests and parasites are treated in detail. Numerous on-site photos document the process of assembly and construction step by step. 30 exemplary international projects illustrate the wide spectrum of design possibilities with straw.

[.en] Our built environments can affect us in many subtle ways. Simply sensing fresh air and natural light or seeing greenery and open space can uplift our mood and improve our wellbeing. But these healthy environments are increasingly difficult to achieve in practice. The vital collaboration between the many people involved in designing and producing buildings is often not achieved. Then there is the pressing need to reduce waste and pollution. Managing these demands is a challenge, especially in a traditional climate of short-term thinking. Designing Buildings for People explores how we can learn from buildings of the past, vernacular architecture and the natural world around us, while still harnessing the opportunities presented by technology, to think creatively, work collaboratively and exercise a transdisciplinary approach. The book features over 200 images, exhibiting the acclaimed work of internationally recognized and research-led designers from the fields of architecture, engineering and management. It is a prime reference work for professionals and students who want to build the sustainable buildings of the future.
