BUILDING BETTER - LESS - DIFFERENT CIRCULAR CON...

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.
