Summary:
"Housing should be seen as a process, and not as a product." The book deals with the issue of sustainability in a planning context but also analyses a building's usage and ageing over its 'life cycle'. A system of criteria specially developed in an accompanying research project can be used to compare and evaluate buildings, and as a tool for optimising the sustainability of buildings in development during the planning process. By contrast, most existing sustainability systems are conceived not as design and planning tools, but as instruments for evaluating finished buildings and completed planning. 15 practical examples explain the ways in which these criteria and other aspects of sustainable building can be implemented in sophisticated architecture and how these can then be experienced.

As innovation and new developments in technology now follow each other faster and faster, making yesterday's architectural fantasies today's construction realities, there's already a movement to return to the essential things in life: be it a quest for sustainability, which implies basic principles such as incorporating a region's typologies and materials, or for reasons(...)

Summary:
As innovation and new developments in technology now follow each other faster and faster, making yesterday's architectural fantasies today's construction realities, there's already a movement to return to the essential things in life: be it a quest for sustainability, which implies basic principles such as incorporating a region's typologies and materials, or for reasons of expense, which often prompt a search for efficient designs or manufacturing technology, or even aesthetic requirements that allow people to step out of our increasingly noisy and heterogeneous environment. However, achieving simplicity in design belies the enormous amount of effort required to plan and realise these types of architectural designs. That’s why the publication Building Simply Two – just as volume one – aims to look behind the facade. Well-known authors who are experts in their fields investigate the particular solutions used in a construction project in terms of design and construction, including material selection, cost efficiency and sustainability.
