Summary:
NEXT GENERATION BUILDING MATERIALS The 21st century faces a radical change in how we produce construction materials – a shift towards cultivating, breeding, raising, farming, or growing future resources. This book presents innovative industrialized production methods for cultivated building materials, like cement grown by bacteria, bricks made of mushroom mycelium, or bamboo fibers as reinforcement for concrete. Spanning from scientific research to product development and architectural application, this book builds a bridge between the academic and the professional world of architecture. The book describes the challenges, strategies, and goals in the first part, followed by a second part on bamboo, A cultivated building material and a number of examples in the third part which form the bridge from cultivated materials to building products.
baumaterialien einer neuen generation Die Produktion von Baumaterialien verändert sich im 21. Jahrhundert radikal: Künftige Ressourcen werden vermehrt, angebaut oder gezüchtet – sie werden organisch erzeugt. Dieses Buch stellt innovative industrialisierte Produktionsmethoden für die organische Erzeugung von Baumaterialien vor. Dazu gehören zum Beispiel durch Bakterien erzeugter Zement, aus Pilzzellen gewonnene Ziegel oder die Verwendung von Bambusfasern für die Betonarmierung. Die Darstellung schlägt einen Bogen von der wissenschaftlichen Forschung über die Produktentwicklung bis hin zu Anwendungen in Architektur und Bauwesen. Sie schlägt eine Brücke vom akademischen zum praktischen Bereich des Entwerfens und Bauen. Der erste Teil beschreibt Herausforderungen, Strategien und Ziele, gefolgt von einem zweiten Teil über Bambus als einem organisch erzeugten Baumaterial und einem dritten Teil mit zahlreichen Beispielen für Entwicklungen von Bauprodukten aus organisch erzeugten Baumerialien.
