Summary:

Massives Material. Monolithische und homogene Konzepte für zirkuläre Architektur Angetrieben vom Klimawandel suchen Architektinnen und Architekten den zeitgemäßen Ausdruck für dauerhafte massive und homogene Wandaufbauten aus Lehm, Holz, Ziegel, Beton und Recyclingmaterialien. Anhand von über 25 Projekten werden überwiegend sortenreine und demontierbare Bauweisen analysiert. In verschiedenen Maßstäben wird die gestalterische und konstruktive Auseinandersetzung mit Masse und Materialität dargestellt. Nach den spezifischen Materialien strukturiert, ermöglicht das Buch direkte Vergleiche, und macht massive Bautypologien und Formensprachen sichtbar. Zahlreiche, eigens für das Buch erstellte, Zeichnungen dokumentieren die Projekte. In zwei Essays und Interviews mit Pepe Marquez und Arno Richter werden die Strategien und Hintergründe für monolithische Architekturen und massive Bauweisen diskutiert. Massive Baustoffe und ihr Beitrag zu Klimaschutz und Nachhaltigkeit Analytische Darstellungen von sortenreinen und demontierbaren Bauweisen Einblicke in Forschung und Anwendungen der Materialien.
Solid matter. Monolithic and homogeneous concepts for a circular approach to architecture. In response to climate change, architects have been seeking a contemporary expression for durable, solid and homogeneous wall structures made of clay, wood, brick, concrete and recycled materials. This book follows 25 projects to analyze construction methods that predominantly involve materials that have a single origin and can be easily dismantled. It looks at a variety of different ways and scales in which architects have dealt with issues of mass and materiality, both in terms of design and construction. Structured according to the specific materials, the book allows direct comparisons, and renders visible solid building typologies and forms. Numerous drawings, developed especially for this book, document the projects. Two essays as well as interviews with Pepe Marquez and Arno Richter examine the strategies and background of monolithic architecture and solid construction methods. Solid building materials and their contribution to climate protection and sustainability Analytical presentations of single-variety and demountable construction methods Insights into research and applications of the materials.
