• Overview of how the sorely needed revolution in the construction industry can work
• Focus on natural and renewable building materials, circular construction, the existing building stock as a resource
• Application-oriented articles and contributions
How can the transition to climate- and resource-friendly construction succeed in practice?
This was the core question discussed at a conference held in the Workshop and Research Hall Diemerstein of the RPTU University of Kaiserslautern-Landau, organized by the t-lab Wood Architecture and Wood Materials of the FATUK Department of Architecture.
At the conference, researchers as well as practicing professionals from France, Belgium, Germany, Liechtenstein, and Switzerland spoke about possible “paths towards a construction revolution”: natural and renewable building materials, circular construction, architecture that uses the existing building stock as a resource, and sufficiency as an architectural principle.
Their contributions are now assembled in this book, accompanied by further texts that expand on questions about future building strategies along with a contextual conversation between the hosts, offering a multi-perspective overview of how the widely demanded revolution in the construction sector can take specific shape.
The topics range from circular construction with timber, rammed earth and other renewable raw materials, to using the existing building stock as a resource, and strategies for transformation and new forms of housing.The publication is subdivided into the four chapters “Material,” “Construction,” “Existing building stock,” and “Use of resources and materials” in order to answer each of these questions and provide application-oriented solutions.
