Architecture and construction are at a turning point. The global rise in temperature can only
be reduced if construction undergoes radical change. The second volume of the book
'Architecture and Climate Change' once again gives 20 architects and urbanists a chance to have
their say on the future of construction. It collects voices from the UK USA Denmark Germany
Austria Japan Belgium and Switzerland. In the interviews the experts discuss their own
experiences with climate-friendly construction as well as regional problems relating to the
rise in CO2 emissions. They explain pioneering projects and link them to personal wishes and
political ideals. The result is a multi-layered kaleidoscope of different perspectives wishes
and hopes for an architecture that fulfils the climate goals.
