Summary:

"Architecture and construction are at a turning point. The global rise in temperature can only be reduced if construction undergoes radical change. The second volume of the book ‘Architecture and Climate Change’ once again gives 20 architects and urbanists a chance to have their say on the future of construction. It collects voices from the UK, USA, Denmark, Germany, Austria, Japan, Belgium and Switzerland. In the interviews, the experts discuss their own experiences with climate-friendly construction as well as regional problems relating to the rise in CO2 emissions. They explain pioneering projects and link them to personal wishes and political ideals. The result is a multi-layered kaleidoscope of different perspectives, wishes and hopes for an architecture that fulfils the climate goals"-- De Gruyter Brill
