Omkring 1970 opstod i Danmark en ny boligform, der havde fællesskab som sit omdrejningspunkt. Den blev kaldt bofællesskab og er siden blevet hædret og udbredt internationalt. Selvom den står som en nyskabelse for sin tid, trækker bofællesskabet tråde tilbage til en lang tradition i dansk boligarkitektur, ligesom den har sit sidestykke i andre kulturer og epoker.'Bofællesskaber – 1970 til i dag' tager fat på den fornyede interesse for livet i et fælles hjem, som ikke mindst skyldes det store fokus på bæredygtig levevis. Det er en boligform, som tilsyneladende både kan opfylde vores individuelle behov og positivt påvirke de samfundsmæssige og globale udfordringer, som vi står overfor.I 'Bofællesskaber' undersøger en række eksperter på området både tidligere, nuværende og kommende bofællesskaber i Danmark. Bogen belyser overordnede perspektiver og dykker ned i 20 udvalgte bofællesskaber fra de seneste fem årtier.Michael Asgaard Andersen er Ph.d. og lektor på Det Kgl. Akademi, Arkitektskolen i København. Han har tidligere udgivet 'Jørn Utzon – arkitekturens tilblivelse og virke'. Bogens fotografier er taget af arkitekturfotograf Laura Stamer.Foruden Michael Asgaard Andersen har Anette Høite Hansen, Henrik Gutzon Larsen, Mette Boisen Lyhne, David Tapias Monné, Anu Siren og Mark Vacher skrevet bogens kapitler.

Versatile wooden windows In her book, the trained carpenter and architect Judith Resch looks at what scope still exists in modern window design and construction. The process of simplification is more difficult to achieve for windows than for most building components, since windows, due to their function, must meet high technical specifications. She presents a variety of window design projects that have one thing in common: they pursue a singular design concept using the simplest possible means. All projects are presented in detail with technical drawings and photographs. 10 simple wooden window designs From retrofitting historical windows to the possibilities of DIY design Precisely designed, handcrafted, highly repairable windows

"The new form of timber construction is hybrid! Timber construction is booming, not only because it is environmentally friendly: building in timber is gaining increasing importance particularly in an urban and multistorey setting. Material-optimized hybrid construction makes it possible to leave stereotyped thinking behind, while opening up completely new opportunities for timber architecture.The completely revised and extended edition of this manual conveys essential knowledge about the system and methodology of timber construction - from design and prefabrication to assembly on site. It creates a mutual understanding of all parties involved in the project required for collaboration in the integral planning and building process. It furthermore provides the technical competence needed for a convincing representation of modern timber construction."

Als Maler, Architekturdoktor, ökologischer Aktivist und Philosoph ist Friedensreich Hundertwasser einer der faszinierendsten Künstler unserer Zeit. Sein Streben nach einem Einklang zwischen Mensch und Natur spiegelt sich in seiner Rolle als Vorreiter in den Bereichen Grüne Architektur, Stadtbegrünung und Umweltschutz. Seine Bauwerke in aller Welt zeigen sein Konzept eines menschen- und naturgerechteren Bauens: bewaldete Dächer, Baummieter, organische Formen anstelle des Rastersystems, Vielfalt anstelle von Monotonie. Als Querdenker und Förderer der menschlichen Kreativität und Selbstbestimmung wollte er die Menschen für das Schöne öffnen und zum eigenen schöpferischen Denken und Handeln animieren. ¿ In diesem Buch finden sich neben zahlreichen Abbildungen verschiedener Hundertwasser Architekturprojekte auch Zitate aus Texten von Hundertwasser, die zum Nachdenken anregen.

Hvor langt til kiosken eller din yndlingscafe? Kan dine børn gå i sikkerhed til skolen, uden at de skal køres? Kan du spadsere eller cykle til arbejdet? Skal vi bandlyse biler fra nabolaget eller bare gøre bilerne unødvendige? Hvor mange træer kan du se fra vinduet? Alle de ovennævnte kan give et meget mere beboeligt bymiljø, hvis de besvares rigtigt. De er også med til at reducere CO2 emissionerne betragtelig meget. Den nye bog, Creating Compact Cities, viser vejen frem. Forfatteren er Frederick Rickmann, en prisvindende urban designer, arkitekt og designer i Danmark. Løsningen, siger Rickmann, er at byerne skal designes mere kompakt. Tættere og mere beboelige men med flere detaljer, der beskytter sikkerhed og privatliv. Bogen illustrerer eksempler på, hvordan man gør det fra mere end 40 byer over hele planeten.Klimakrisen og den post-pandemiske periode har virkelig kastet mange udfordringer op for befolkninger verden over. Tankeløse bymæssige udvidelser og svag planlægning har gjort vores byer til lokomotiver for forurening og psykisk dårligt helbred. Creating Compact Cities er en stærk innovativ debatbog om, hvordan vi kan begynde at rette op på tingene. Den bliver måske én af de mest indflydelsesrige skandinaviske bøger om urban design siden arkitekt Jan Gehl's bog "Livet mellem husene" i 1971. Dette er en international bog skrevet på engelsk og i en stil, der vil appellere til den normale læser. Den omhandler komplekse budskaber, men på en måde, hvor de involverede spørgsmål er forståelige. Og når de er forståelige, bliver udfordringerne overkommelige. På en måde har denne bog om urban design samme offentlige appel for almindelige læsere som Stephen Hawkings "A brief History of Time" har om kosmisk fysik.Bogen er en hybridbog. Initiativerne og ideerne bæres af en tekstbalance og en rigdom af fotografier. På mange måder er denne nye skrivestil blevet sammenlignet med en fysisk Instagram. En fornøjelse at rulle igennem og alligevel med en høj taktil kvalitet.248 sider af debat, ny tænkning og svar. Frederick Rickmann er heller ikke tilbageholdende med at takle vanskelige spørgsmål som bymæssig fattigdom og forfaldende ruiner. Her er næring til din fantasi. Hvis du bor i en by, har du brug for denne bog.ENGLISH RESUME If you live in a city then you need to read this book. Cities have become the locomotives of pollution. City spread generates commuting which is a giant factor in CO2 emissions. Add in the largely fossil fuel-based energy consumption from heating and air-conditioning and you have all the ingredients of a disaster. When the added impact of city life in human terms is taken into account, then it becomes obvious that a new way has to be found. This book is about how we start to fix it all — starting with changing the cities that we do have into compact cities.

Om sommeren bliver der spillet teater, kørt cykelløb og holdt vikingemarked på taget. Om vinteren transformeres skråningen til Danmarks mest besøgte kælkebakke. Taget er blevet taget i brug på måder, der langt overstiger vores forventninger. Som en invitation fra fortiden rejser museet sig fra den jyske muld og inviterer gæsterne indenfor, hvor udstillingsrummene er designet som terrasser, der åbenbarer sig som lag i en arkæologisk udgravning.

In the tradition of Elizabeth Kolbert and Jonathan Doerr, The Nature of Our Cities is a stirring exploration of how scientists from around the world are harnessing local ecology and innovative technology to protect the planet's cities from the effects of climate change.When it comes to nature, most people romanticize bucolic mountain scenery and verdant pine forests, but anyone who's ever lived in a city can tell you that nature has just as vital a role to play in urban landscapes. And with climate change altering life and mental health everywhere, nature can do more to aid and protect our cities, offering the potential to solve problems as diverse as flood preparation and wildfire management. As ecological engineer Dr. Nadina Galle argues, nature is our most critical infrastructure for tackling the climate crisis. It just needs a little help.A fellow at MIT's Senseble City Lab and selected for Forbes' 30 under 30 list, Galle has been at the forefront of the growing movement to use nature and technology together to prepare urban life for the climate challenges upon us. Now, in The Nature of Our Cities, she embarks on a journey as fascinating as it is pressing, showing how scientists and engineers from around the world are harnessing the power of technology and the natural world to save their cities, a phenomenon she calls the "Internet of Nature." Traveling the globe, Galle examines how urban nature, long an afterthought for many, actually points the way toward a livable future for cities. She reveals how technology can help nature navigate this precarious moment with advances such as: firefighting robots inspired by ancient forest wisdom, sensors that achieve 99% tree survival in increasingly dry, hot summers, and innovative smart ponds that collect and manage water surges from extreme weather.Optimistic in spirit yet pragmatic in approach, Galle writes persuasively that the future of urban life depends on balancing the natural world with the technology that can help sustain it. By turns clear-eyed and lyrical, The Nature of Our Cities marks the emergence of an invigorating, prescient new talent in nature writing.

The book provides an overview of the Slow Onset Disasters (SLOD) in the urban built environment discussing potential strategies to assess and mitigate multiple climate change related risks. Climate change evidence has been reported in the last decades, suggesting that the anthropogenic activities are accelerating these changes towards a warmer and more polluted environment. In this context, SLODs have been linked to climate change related disasters and have been stated to have a higher impact risk within dense built environment (BE). Therefore, the book presents a description of the most relevant SLODs, their significance, and confluence, the way in which scientists and entities are monitoring their progression at different scales, a structured risk assessment strategy and the deconstruction of the BE characteristics that make it more prone to SLODs risk. In addition, it highlights the necessity of adapting the traditional risk assessment methods, to account for different vulnerabilitytypes, including the morphology and materiality of the BE, and the BE users¿ characteristics. In fact, individual features influence users¿ responses and tolerance to environmental stressors, because of age, health, gender, habits, and behaviour, thus impacting the users¿ vulnerability. Exposure can then amplify these issues, since it defines the number of users that can be effectively affected by the SLOD. Starting from this perspective, the book first traces literature-based correlations between individual features, use behaviour, and individual response to the SLOD-altered open spaces. Then, a novel methodology, to quantify the variations of users¿ vulnerability and exposure, is offered, to support designers in quickly defining input scenarios for risk assessment and mitigation. Lastly, it demonstrates, through a case study, the SLOD risk assessment framework proposed and the evaluation of the efficacy of risk mitigation strategies.

This book outlines, within the Italian national framework, the current and potential paths oriented towards a new concept of Architectural Heritage, through actions referring to Innovation and Experimentation and Protection and Transformation of the Architectural Heritage. The development of the themes is articulated in two sessions dealing with the aspects related to the analysis and mapping of Architectural Heritage to face the context of the current Climate Crisis and the development of projects and experimentations oriented to the Green and Digital Transition.The evolution of the concept of Heritage, as conceived by the United Nations 2030 Agenda and in the Green Deal and New European Bauhaus, aimed at constructing an inclusive and universally recognised definition to support supranational objectives of sustainable human development, gives rise to innovative strategies, methodologies and technologies that¿in a direction of mitigation, contrast and adaptation to climatechange¿allow for the safeguard, renewed management and a hope for valorisation of Heritage on a national scale. In this direction, the understanding of Architectural Heritage as a 'non-renewable resource' determines the need to activate design experimentation laboratories oriented towards regeneration, articulated and complex, which require, in order to respond to the challenges posed by our era, a sensitive and dialogic multidisciplinary vision of a holistic type. In fact, on the one hand, it is necessary to redefine the usability and management methods of built heritage through the adoption of digital, mobility, energy, ecological, social, green and blue infrastructures; on the other hand, it is necessary to introduce new qualitative and quantitative parameters and performance indicators, adequate to verify the validity of the implemented strategies in a perspective of adaptation to climate change, able to clarify contents, processes and tools to contrast future risks.The pursuit of these objectives refers to the innovation of training paths, professionalising procedures, administrative regulations, and public policies that involve citizens and the private partnership towards a different project qualification and empowerment of stakeholders, inhabitants, professionals, and clients. The Technological Project makes it possible to activate different interventions aimed at acting, in an integrated manner, on assets, context and communities, according to an approach that reinterprets them on a common score, as proposed by the European Next Generation programme in three priority aspects: digitalisation and innovation, environmental transition, increased resilience and social sustainability of national economies. In this scenario, the interventions aimed at outlining sustainable development actions will have to place these concepts at the centre in a harmonious vision that starts from the recognition and enhancement of the Architectural Heritage, recognising itas a fundamental asset of the territories.

This book is a comprehensive overview of the forest bioenergy, from feedstock production to end products. The book presents the state of the art of forest biomass production, assessment, characterization, and conversion into heat and power.
