Building Better - Less - Different: Circular Construction and Circular Economy
Each volume of "Better - Less - Different Building" examines two fundamental areas of sustainable building. The sustainability criteria of efficiency ("better"), sufficiency ("less") and consistency ("different") form the framework for each book. After an introductory overview, innovative methods and current developments are described and analysed in in-depth essays, international case studies and pointed commentaries.
The first volume presents concepts, methods and examples of circularity in construction and economy. Together, the five planned volumes provide a systematic and up-to-date compendium of sustainable building. Urban mining and circular construction are two approaches to the challenges facing architecture and urban design.
The circular economy is not solely about recycling but encompasses a wide range of strategies from local community projects to new ownership and service models and steering mechanisms such as carbon pricing schemes with climate premium.
