Summary:
No other concept has disturbed and disfigured our understanding of energy more than the seemingly innocent idea of isolation. Further, no other material practice in architecture has systemically reinforced this errant idea than insulation. In too many cases, architects and engineers treat buildings as increasingly "efficient" isolated systems without any regard for the(...)

Summary:
No other concept has disturbed and disfigured our understanding of energy more than the seemingly innocent idea of isolation. Further, no other material practice in architecture has systemically reinforced this errant idea than insulation. In too many cases, architects and engineers treat buildings as increasingly "efficient" isolated systems without any regard for the larger energy hierarchies of a building. This is the exact opposite of how architects should engage energy.

Summary:
The passive house standard is developing more and more into the international key currency of energy-efficient construction. Passive houses are being erected in almost all parts of the world and for all types of users. “Plus energy” buildings and entire zero-energy districts show that the passive house standard is also a sound basis for advanced efficiency strategies.

Summary:
This publication deals with a number of major topical issues brought together on an installation called the "Suburban ark". The theme of this installation was "The flood", which was also the theme for the 2nd international architecture biennal held in Rotterdam from May 26 through June 26, 2005. In a series of lectures, excursions, and workshops taking place during the Biennal, innovative possibilities were developed for the supply of energy and water. The Suburban ank functioned as a floating lab with test rigs for wind energy, freshwater-saltwater energy, and energy from digestion. The Suburban ark opposes the fact that house building on water is subject to comfort-focused facilities of house building on land, and investigates new parcelization typologies for water dwellings. The Suburban ark objects to the relentless consequences of parcelization brought about by the installation of the infrastructure. To point out the direction in which to look for solutions, a number of items of furniture have been developed that are self-contained and capable of operating without the use of existing energy sources, pipes and cables.
