A Zero-Waste Approach in the Design of Buildings: Introducing a new way of approaching sustainability in buildings with a conceptual industrial building design as an illustrative example.

Climate change and environmental issues are important in today’s society. The earth is being depleted of its resources and the changing climate could irreversibly change the planet for the worse. Sustainable buildings are mostly optimised for the use phase but neglect end of life scenarios. Buildings are often demolished and materials are dumped...

Wood would - Mass timber as a sustainable substitute for traditional building materials

This "designers' manual" is made during the TIDO-course AR0531 Innovation and Sustainability This manual explains why mass timber is the sustainable substitute for conventional materials and how it can be implemented in the design. It is intended for architects who usually always build in steel and concrete, because they are not familiar with...
