Nachhaltig Bauen

Baukultur im Wertewandel

Düsseldorf
Zukunftsfähiges und nachhaltiges Bauen ist in aller Munde. Zahlreiche Zertifizierungssysteme und Gütesiegel sowie die Vergabe eines „Energiepasses“ sollen künftig die Gesamtenergiebilanz von Gebäuden transparent und kontrollierbar machen, und zwar nicht nur Neubauten, sondern auch zahlreiche Bestandsgebäude. Ein Thema also, das nicht nur Kommunen oder Investoren vor neue Herausforderungen stellt, sondern auch die Architekten selbst.

Book announcement: Re-inventing Construction

LAVA is included in the latest book
Inspired by the 3rd International Holcim Forum 2010, Mexico City




How must architecture, engineering and construction evolve so that considerations of sustainability are automatically embedded in the way that the built environment is designed, constructed, used and recycled? This challenging question was the nucleus of the 3rd International Holcim Forum held in Mexico City and inspiration for Re-inventing Construction. The 440-page book features articles and case studies by 38 internationally renowned architects, engineers and scholars including Keller Easterling, Bjarke Ingels, Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal, Amory Lovins, Elinor Ostrom, Jeremy Rifkin, Michel Rojkind, Werner Sobek, Michael Sorkin, and many others.
