Summary:
Das Baukollektiv Studio Suddo Neuve aus dem Senegal fordert zur Bauwende auf und widmet sich dem Bauen mit Lehm im westafrikanischen Raum. Neben der Analyse von Urbanisierungs- und Bauprozessen in der Region steht vor allem die Praxis im Mittelpunkt dieses Buchs. Mit einem detaillierten Manual zur Herstellung und Verwendung von Lehmsteinen leistet es einen beispielhaften Beitrag zur Transformation der gebauten Umwelt durch die Substitution von fossilen Baustoffen. Das Projekt zeigt, wie lokale Materialien mit einer minimierten umweltlichen Belastung an die Anforderungen des zeitgenössischen Bauens angepasst werden können, und regt zur Nachahmung im globalen Kontext an. Ein Handbuch zum Bauen mit Lehm Westafrikanische Perspektive auf die globale Bauwende
The Senegalese building collective Studio Suddo Neuve is calling for a paradigm shift in the West African construction sector. The collective has been focusing on substituting the ubiquitously-present concrete blocks with earth-based materials. While this volume primarily documents the practical aspects of building with earth, it also examines urbanization and construction processes in the region. The detailed manual for the production and application of earth blocks underlines the contribution nature-based products can have for the transformation toward regenerative building practices and suggests its potential for global application. The project showcases how local materials can be adapted to contemporary building demands while retaining a minimized environmental impact.
