Neuware -Nachhaltig, zirkulär, zeitgemäß Die meisten Gebäude sind aus verschiedenen Baumaterialien errichtet, aber nur selten wird diese heterogene Komposition als eine Frage des Entwurfs und der Performance betrachtet. Das Buch analysiert weltweit Bautraditionen und zeitgenössische Praktiken, um die Möglichkeiten und Herausforderungen des Materialmix in der Architektur zu ergründen. Visuell beeindruckende, farbkodierte Zeichnungen dokumentieren die Materialien und Konstruktionen der dargestellten Projekte. Anhand von gebauten Beispielen, Entwurfsexperimenten und Texten untersuchen die Autoren die Chancen heterogener Konstruktionen für eine zeitgemäße, nachhaltige, zirkulär und kulturell geprägte Architektur. Mit Beiträgen von Jeannette Kuo, Ajay Manthripragada und Jesús Vassallo sowie Fotografien von Naho Kubota. Grafische Gestaltung von Andrew LeClair. Detailliert und attraktiv illustrierte Beispiele zu hybriden Bautechniken Eigens für die Publikation erstellte Zeichnungen zeigen den Materialeinsatz Ausführliche Essays zu den technischen, kulturellen und ökologischen Implikationen heterogener Bauweisen 224 pp. Englisch.

Riassunto

Sustainable, circular, up-to-date

Most modern buildings are built from diverse materials, but few confront their manifold composition as a question of both design and performance. This book takes a close look at a series of global building traditions and contemporary practices to uncover the possibilities and challenges of working with mixed materials. Visually stunning, color-coded drawings reveal the materials and construction for every project. Through case studies, design experiments and writings, the authors examine the opportunities of heterogeneous construction for contemporary, sustainable, circular, and culturally situated architecture. With contributions by Jeannette Kuo, Ajay Manthripragada, and Jesús Vassallo, and photography by Naho Kubota. Graphic design by Andrew LeClair.

• Richly illustrated case studies of lesserknown hybrid construction techniques
• Beautiful graphic design and unique spot color printing reveal the interrelationships of materials in construction
• In-depth essays that discuss the technical, cultural, and environmental implications of heterogeneous construction
