How architecture and urbanism can help to care for and repair a broken planet: essays and illustrated case studies. Today, architecture and urbanism are capital-centric, speculation-driven, and investment-dominated. Many cannot afford housing. Austerity measures have taken a disastrous toll on public infrastructures. The climate crisis has rendered the planet vulnerable, even uninhabitable. This book offers an alternative vision in architecture and urbanism that focuses on caring for a broken planet. Rooted in a radical care perspective that always starts from the given, in the midst of things, this edited collection of essays and illustrated case studies documents ideas and practices from an extraordinarily diverse group of contributors. Focusing on the three crisis areas of economy, ecology, and labor, the book describes projects including village reconstruction in China; irrigation in Spain; community land trust in Puerto Rico; revitalization of modernist public housing in France; new alliances in informal settlements in Nairobi; and the redevelopment of traditional building methods in flood areas in Pakistan. Essays consider such topics as ethical architecture, land policy, creative ecologies, diverse economies, caring communities, and the exploitation of labor. Taken together, these case studies and essays provide evidence that architecture and urbanism have the capacity to make the planet livable, again.

Während Innovationen und neue technische Entwicklungen heute immer schneller aufeinander folgen und im Bauwesen so gut wie alles möglich machen, findet gleichzeitig eine Rückbesinnung statt auf die wesentlichen Dinge im Leben. Sei es aus Nachhaltigkeitsgründen, die grundsätzlich Faktoren wie die Übernahme Ortsbild prägender Typologien und Materialien implizieren, sei es aus Kostengründen, die nicht selten zu Überlegungen effektiver Konstruktionen oder Herstellverfahren anstoßen oder aus ästhetischen Anforderungen, sich von unserer zunehmend lauten und heterogenen Umwelt zu distanzieren. Nach außen erscheinende Einfachheit bedeutet jedoch in der Architektur häufig einen erhöhten Planungs- und Realisierungsaufwand. Daher verfolgt die Publikation »Einfach Bauen Zwei« - wie Band Eins - das Ziel, auch hinter die Fassade zu schauen. Namhafte Fachautoren hinterfragen die jeweilige Lösung einer Bauaufgabe hinsichtlich ihres Entwurfs und ihrer Konstruktion, hinsichtlich Materialwahl, Kosteneffizienz und Nachhaltigkeit. Entsprechend dem typologischen Ansatz der Reihe präsentiert die umfangreiche internationale Projektauswahl ein breites Spektrum unterschiedlicher Bauaufgaben bis ins Detail.

'Sustainable Housing' is intended to guide action into the next century, setting down key principles, providing important new technical information and setting UK practices in a European context. Perceptions of sustainable housing have moved from the importance of the individual dwelling to the issues facing neighbourhoods and communities. This book is not about the autonomous house but how to achieve self-sustaining communities. It looks at build projects (such as Hulme in Manchester) and ambitious schemes on the drawing board (Greenwich Millennium Village).
