Ongoing urbanisation requires rapid, low-emission construction methods. Architects, investors and politicians are on the hunt for housing solutions that are fast and cost-effective, yet sustainable and flexible. Timber room modules meet all of these requirements: flexibility, variability, low construction and operating costs, short construction times thanks to high rates of prefabrication, a pleasant living environment, easy dismantling via detachable connections, excellent recyclability as well as a general acceptance by end users. This practical volume offers an overview, from the planning process to assembly, while contemporary examples show that building with room modules facilitates heretofore unimagined, multi-layered and differentiated architectures.

Ces contributions explorent les informations historiques et architecturales tirées de la pierre. Elles examinent par exemple l'analyse de la taille dans le patrimoine médiéval liégeois, les signes lapidaires de la cathédrale de Senlis (Oise), la technique de la pierre sèche en Wallonie et les graffitis près de la Casa Consistorial de Palma de Majorque.

The Swiss canton of Grisons impresses with an overwhelming landscape and outstanding new architecture. The material concrete has a long tradition there in the deliberate confrontation with history, material, scale, and construction. It goes without saying that impressive buildings of innovative material aesthetics blend into the rugged rock formations of the surroundings. While the versatility of wood is evoked elsewhere today, the quality of concrete is revived here.0The book provides a deep insight into the history, materiality and construction of this fascinating material in the Grisons tradition and makes you want to travel there to be inspired by the quality of the 20 project examples presented.

"This book covers the wide spectrum of subjects relating to obtaining and using building stones. The life of a building stone is explained from its origin in the quarry, through its exposure to the elements when used for a building, to its eventual deterioration. The structure of stone buildings is then discussed, with explanations of the mechanics of pillars, lighthouses and walls, arches, bridges, buttresses and roof vaults, plus castles and cathedrals. The book is illustrated with more than 450 diagrams and colour photographs of both the various stones and the associated stone buildings"--

How is it possible to keep the immense deposits of raw materials in buildings “active” and realise environmentally sustainable buildings in the long term? Besides “sufficiency, consistency and efficiency”, this goal implies the intelligent use of resources, the recyclability of structures, circular construction methods that reuse decommissioned materials, in short “urban mining”. This requires a rethink in planning and execution, thus posing a great challenge for architects and engineers. The Manual of Recycling provides the necessary expertise for the associated paradigm shift in construction. In addition to successful project examples, this comprehensive and detailed guide provides in-depth explanations on calculation methods and tendering aspects.
