Sustainability is to become the guiding principle of social action
and economic activity. At the same time, its ways and means are far
from clear. As a holistic praxis, sustainability must combine
technical and material as well as social, economic, ecological and
also ethical strategies, which have multiple complex interactions
and all too often also conflicting goals and priorities. In no
other field can these be better observed, addressed and influenced
than in architecture and building. Each volume of "Building Better
- Less - Different" details two fundamental areas of sustainability
and explores their specific dynamics and interactions. After
introductory overviews, innovative methods and current developments
are described and analysed in in-depth essays, international case
studies and pointed commentaries. The sustainability criteria of
efficiency ("better"), sufficiency ("less") and consistency
("different") form the framework for each book. The first volume
presents concepts, methods and examples of circularity in
construction and the economy. Urban mining and circular
construction are two approaches to the challenges that architecture
and urban design are facing, using techniques such as mono-material
construction and design for disassembly, and tools such as
materials passports and databases. 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 fees and dividends.
