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.

Summary:
Face à l'urbanisation galopante, la prise de conscience collective des questions environnementales marque l'entrée dans un monde de respect, des hommes et de la planète. Economiser les richesses naturelles, protéger la biodiversité, recycler et valoriser les déchets naturels, industriels et urbains, réduire l'empreinte carbone, préserver le cadre de vie, autant d'objectifs devenus des nécessités tant vitales que stratégiques. Ce pari gagnant de l'innovation s'accompagne d'une profonde réflexion esthétique sur l'espace et l'architecture, intègre les questions du paysage urbain et des modes de vie en devenir. A travers une galerie de portraits des acteurs de ces métiers, par la présentation de 46 cas concrets d'approches nouvelles, cet ouvrage permet d'appréhender la question de ce XXIe siècle qui se construit sous nos yeux.
