    Techniques, materials and processes for construction and design

    The Urban Shelf

    The Urban Shelf

    Tuebingen, Germany
    The Urban Shelf is less of a finished project but rather an ongoing design process to develop innovative human centred neighbourhood typologies. The design is driven by future human scale mobility and the decoupled support structure and infill units allow for holistic ecologic, economic and social design strategies. The architectural prototype in Tübingen, Germany works similar, just in smaller scale: a beautiful, sustainable and inclusive place for students and refugees.

    Cradle to Cradle-based production

    An SME’s innovative transition to greener production of sustainable acoustic solutions

    Tranbjerg J, Denmark
    The building sector accounts for approximately 40 per cent of the world’s resource consumption. There is consequently a need to produce sustainably and think in circular cycles where waste becomes a new resource. This is the core idea behind the Cradle-to-Cradle design concept on which we at Troldtekt A/S have based our strategy and production of Troldtekt acoustic panels. Since we implemented Cradle to Cradle in 2012, we have proved with tangible results that an SME can also be at the forefront

    Astre

    Sensitive object designed to visualize the production of renewable energy in homes

    Mons-en-Baroeul, France
    How to make the invisible visible and attractive? The production of renewable energy in homes often goes unnoticed. Vilogia worked with the design firm BlueGriot to develop a beautiful and sensitive connected object that allows the inhabitants of a home to visualize their solar hot water production. Thus, tenants know that their building is environmentally friendly and when during the day they can use solar hot water or contact their landlord if the installation does not work.

    vivihouse

    vivihouse - the inclusive, eco-friendly, multi-storey building system

    Vienna, Austria
    The modular building system vivihouse opens up the world of constructing for the general public. Commoning and co-creation are thus moving out of the sandbox into new scales of action. This way, up to six-storey buildings made from renewable materials can be realised inclusively, as the first beautiful prototypes demonstrate. Now a platform is to be created that connects users, planners, craftspeople and companies - to collaboratively explore new forms of city-making within the circular economy.

    BC materials startup

    BC materials. The transformation of excavated earth of construction sites into building materials.

    Brussels, Belgium
    BC materials is a start up & spin off, of bigger brother BC architects. When we noticed that no one in Belgium worked with the big flows of excavated earth, we decided – based on the ecological and health-related qualities of earth building – to produce materials ourselves. We now transform earth streams from construction sites into clay plasters, compressed earth blocks and rammed ear

    SciberCity

    SciberPunks as future personas for more-than human design scenarios

    Lappeenranta, Finland
    SciberCity has developed a method that blends design and sustainability to create future personas in the form of 'SciberPunks'. These are augmented humans with capabilities to listen to and speak on behalf of the concerns of the environment and creatures that inhabit it. They are based on real environmental data and are meant to help urban design teams consider beyond human concerns when designing cities or other spaces, and to better understand the impacts of certain design choices on nature.

    The House of the Winds in Santorini

    The House of the Winds in Santorini Island, Greece

    Akrotiri, Greece
    "This house commands a distant view towards the sea-basin of the caldera and the northern part of the island. The north wind here serves as the main design feature, since it determines the articulation of the large openings towards the view. By utilizing aerodynamic principles, the force of the wind is trapped and detracted away from the building.” 1 The individual volumes have been modelled as if dug out of soft material, a reference to the local technique of dugout subterranean structures.
