Architektur für eine nachhaltige Welt

Innovative concepts for climate-friendly building

A perfect overview of the state of the art of innovative architecture and a who's who of sustainable building.

The construction industry plays a key role in the implementation of climate targets. This is leading to an enormous boost in creativity and innovation among architectural firms, as this volume impressively demonstrates. It portrays 75 of the most important international protagonists of sustainable building and their projects - Bjarke Ingels, Anna Heringer, Francis Kéré, Shigeru Ban, Mario Cucinella and many others. The strategies range from the use of the latest technologies and renewable materials, efficient energy concepts and green building to conversion and repurposing. This results in ground-breaking buildings that more than meet the requirements of architecture in the 21st century. They inspire and at the same time encourage new concepts for solving pressing issues.
