Most of today’s construction is based on concepts, technologies, materials, and social models, which are more than hundred years old. We hardly use the knowledge we could have today. But in view of climate change, shrinking resources of raw materials, radical demographical shifts, and increasing social inequalities resulting from the rise of neo-liberal economy, construction needs to be re-invented today more than ever.To achieve this, Re-inventing Construction presents two complementary approaches: On the one hand, the book gives an overview of new construction technologies, material research, energy concepts, as well as ownership models and development strategies in architecture. On the other hand, it rediscovers the wisdom of vernacular architecture with its smart use of locally available building materials, building methods and typologies, as well as the ingenious understanding of natural principles.Wiping off the dust of any quaint technocratic allure formerly associated with construction, this book celebrates its re-invention with an effervescent effort of research, produced by 38 international architects, engineers, and scholars who contributed a kaleidoscopic set of essays and case studies. In addition, the book features a lavishly illustrated index containing more than 230 dictionary entries that take the reader on an eye-opening journey across the expanding universe of construction.With contributions by Anne Lacaton & Jean-Philippe Vassal, Bjarke Ingels, Michel Rojkind, Werner Sobek, Keller Easterling, Michael Sorkin, Amory Lovins, Elinor Ostrom, Jeremy Rifkin and many others.

An important consideration for energy-efficient buildings is their primary energy requirements over the entire life cycle. How to determine this? What integrative factors influence the performance of a healthy and sustainable building? This, while it may be important for clients and architects to know, is frequently not very transparent.This book has been written to assist with clarifying target criteria and expanding horizons when it comes to ecological buildings. It is meant as a handbook and source of reference for clients, architects, planners and building operators, to provide them with pertinent information about their design, construction and operation: how to do this in the most energy-efficient and economical manner? Also, there is feedback and documentation about prominent buildings like the Hamburg Dockland or the Landesbank Baden-Wuerttemberg in Stuttgart. They provide excellent architectural examples for detailed construction and design solutions. Further, there are insightful interviews with architects and clients about many important buildings, which help turn this book into an integrated source of reference for sustainable architecture.- A Guideline for Planning, Construction and Operation of sustainable Buildings- A source of reference for clients, architects, planners and building operators- Innovative architectural examples with sustainable concepts and design
