Some have been used for centuries, while others are being invented today. This book demonstrates the potential of these modes of construction by analysing the 40 finalist buildings for the TERRAFIBRA Award, the world’s first prize for contemporary architecture built with raw earth and plant fibres. Organised by technique (pisé, clay-based concrete, cob, adobe, pressed earth block, and plaster) or the material used (hemp, straw, reed, and bamboo), the projects testify to the commitment of these pioneering teams of architects, engineers, builders, and clients. They prove that we can build in a different way, by relying on local resources and know-how, without forsaking innovation. Rooted in a very specific sense of place, these frugal and creative architectures reveal the new horizons that await the world of construction and renovation. https://www.regenerativematerials.org/catalog-blog/ihh4ccyjd48htvbkojot5ft52l3a4f-zn299-s9zj3-73w36-bpzkp-7stg7-6kj6x monthly 0.5 2022-06-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614642b764fff36ade02c1cf/5946427a-b1d1-47f7-8689-f4d16bc63894/1_LEARNING+FROM+VERNACULAR_TOWARDS+A+NEW+VERNACULAR+ARCHITECTURE.jpg Catalog Blog - Learning from Vernacular -Towards a New Vernacular Architecture - Taking advantage of a collection of models of vernacular architecture (the only one of its kind in the world), whose special attributes he highlights and whose value he thus underlines, the author selects contemporary realisations by architects from Africa, Asia, America and Europe that seem to him to constitute a “new vernacular architecture”. The emphasis here is on materials available on the fringes of the market, on the safeguarding and development of traditional know-how, on the social role of the architect and on the teaching of architecture. https://www.regenerativematerials.org/catalog-blog/ihh4ccyjd48htvbkojot5ft52l3a4f-zn299-s9zj3-73w36-999xj monthly 0.5 2022-06-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614642b764fff36ade02c1cf/d45c7e8f-4a4f-4da2-a75d-212b59e01c41/1_DESIGNING+FOR+HOPE_PATHWAYS+TO+REGENERATIVE+SUSTAINABILITY.jpg Catalog Blog - Designing for Hope. Pathways to Regenerative Sustainability - A forward looking book on sustainable design that describes problems and then, by providing a different way to conceptualise design and development, leads on to examples of regenerative solutions. Its aim is to move the discussion away from doing less, but still detracting from our ecological capital, to positively contributing and adding to this capital. This book offers a hopeful response to the often frightening changes and challenges we face; arguing that we can actively create a positive and abundant future through mindful, contributive engagement that is rooted in a living systems based worldview. Concepts and practices such as Regenerative Development, Biophilic Design, Biomimicry, Permaculture and Positive Development are explored through interviews and case studies from the built environment to try and answer questions such as: ‘How can projects focus on creating a positive ecological footprint and contribute to community?’; How can we as practitioners restore and enrich the relationships in our projects?’ https://www.regenerativematerials.org/catalog-blog/ihh4ccyjd48htvbkojot5ft52l3a4f-zn299-s9zj3-73w36-bpzkp-dhmjf monthly 0.5 2022-06-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614642b764fff36ade02c1cf/0d705d14-bc10-4b1d-af1a-313c5da9035a/1_PEOPLE+VS+RESOURCES.jpg Catalog Blog - People vs. Resources - The earth has a finite amount of natural resources. These limited resources are being depleted at an exponential rate. The central question of this book: how do we reconcile the earth’s finite resources with our infinite need to consume? It is not impossible to establish and maintain a balance, but it requires us to make dramatic choices in terms of our demands and desires.

Raworth handpicks the best emergent ideas― from ecological, behavioral, feminist, and institutional economics to complexity thinking and Earth-systems science―to address this question: How can we turn economies that need to grow, whether or not they make us thrive, into economies that make us thrive, whether or not they grow? Simple, playful, and eloquent, Doughnut Economics offers game-changing analysis and inspiration for a new generation of economic thinkers. https://www.regenerativematerials.org/catalog-blog/ihh4ccyjd48htvbkojot5ft52l3a4f-zn299-s9zj3-73w36-bpzkp-7stg7-6kj6x-8whzw monthly 0.5 2022-06-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614642b764fff36ade02c1cf/137f0b0c-9cdc-4db4-bd26-812448e0658f/1_BETON_LA+FIN+D%27UNE+ERE.jpg Catalog Blog - Béton, la fin d'une ère? - This investigation begins in the middle of a confinement in a chalet near Bex, Switzerland.

Now, drawing on the green living lessons gained from 10 years of putting the Cradle to Cradle concept into practice with businesses, governments, and ordinary people, William McDonough and Michael Braungart envision the next step in the solution to our ecological crisis: We don’t just use or reuse and recycle resources with greater effectiveness, we actually improve the natural world as we live, create, and build. For McDonough and Braungart, the questions of resource scarcity and sustainability are questions of design. They are practical-minded visionaries: They envision beneficial designs of products, buildings, and business practices—and they show us these ideas being put to use around the world as everyday objects like chairs, cars, and factories are being reimagined not just to sustain life on the planet but to grow it. It is an eye-opening, inspiring tour of our green future as it unfolds in front of us. https://www.regenerativematerials.org/catalog-blog/ihh4ccyjd48htvbkojot5ft52l3a4f-zn299-s9zj3-73w36-bpzkp-dhmjf-8tkt8 monthly 0.5 2022-06-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614642b764fff36ade02c1cf/703fd0b5-1d02-4cf1-8ab0-0ae1047c7057/1_ARCHITEKTURFUHRER+ZURICH.jpeg Catalog Blog - Architekturführer Zürich 2020 - The Architecture Guide Zurich documents buildings and ensembles of the city from all eras. The main focus are buildings from 1850 onwards. The architectural guide focuses on the city area, but also looks beyond it, for example at focal points of the fast-growing regions of of the Glattal or the Limmattal. The book is organized by object, arranged according to the district and neighborhood divisions of the city of Zurich. Introductory texts and essays on urban development by specialists provide an overview of building activity in Zurich. All of the approximately 1200 buildings, parks, squares and infrastructure buildings have been selected according to their architectural quality, their significance for the urban space, but also according to their role in the history of the city. There is room for unexpected objects, and even architectural sins also appear in the book, as long as they are relevant to urban development and typical of their time. Each object is depicted in at least one current or historical photograph. A plan of the majority of the objects is shown. https://www.regenerativematerials.org/catalog-blog/ihh4ccyjd48htvbkojot5ft52l3a4f-zn299-s9zj3-73w36-bpzkp-7stg7-cynzl-tg6p6 monthly 0.5 2022-06-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614642b764fff36ade02c1cf/dad06bfa-46cc-4998-85c9-c9179585dbf2/2_REFINED+EARTH_CONSTRUCTION%26DESIGN+WITH+RAMMED+EARTH.jpg Catalog Blog - Refined Earth: Construction &Design with Rammed Earth - Building with earth is ecological, sustainable and 100% recyclable.

In the meantime, this edition has also been included in the model list of technical building regulations of the German Institute for Building Technology in Berlin and thus recommended to the federal states for introduction by the building authorities. In the meantime, this has been done in most of the federal states. The individual earth building materials (such as rammed earth, Weller clay, straw clay) are explained in a clear and easy-to-understand manner, and instructions for testing and construction with the building material are given, thus enabling proper application and execution. https://www.regenerativematerials.org/catalog-blog/ihh4ccyjd48htvbkojot5ft52l3a4f-zn299-s9zj3-73w36-999xj-whef3-36m7e monthly 0.5 2022-06-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614642b764fff36ade02c1cf/79b659e1-6e2d-4fcc-b990-d9d8a9011a53/2_LEHMBAU-PRAXIS_PLANUNG+UND+AUSFUHRUNG.jpg Catalog Blog - Lehmbau-Praxis: Planung undAusführung - For a long time, clay eked out a shadowy existence as a building material, but for a while now it has been rediscovered for its many qualities. Clay is superior to many other building materials in terms of indoor climate and naturalness. But also economic aspects such as the extraordinarily good energy balance lead to the fact that meanwhile more and more is built with loam. “Lehmbau-Praxis” offers both an introduction to the topic and opportunities for further study. It is dedicated to conveying basic knowledge about clay as a building material and presents formulations and building material properties. Particularly helpful for practical applications are the comparative observations in which clay is compared with other building materials. The two major focal points of the book are, first, clay plasters: clay plasters are the most common use of clay in construction, and this volume examines them in corresponding detail. Second, “Earth Building Practice” provides detailed information on the restoration of existing, historic earthen structures, and offers an overview of historic earthen building techniques, as well as instructions for restoration. https://www.regenerativematerials.org/catalog-blog/ihh4ccyjd48htvbkojot5ft52l3a4f-zn299-s9zj3-73w36-bpzkp-dhmjf-8tkt8-6dt6k monthly 0.5 2022-06-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614642b764fff36ade02c1cf/271cf76f-1aa3-4275-b2d5-f510250a7218/2_UPSCALING+EARTH_MATERIAL+PROCESS+CATALYST.jpg Catalog Blog - Upscaling Earth. Material, Process, Catalyst - As environmental pressures continue to increase and concerns about resource scarcity continue to grow, a number of prominent architectural thinkers are returning to one of the world’s oldest construction methods: earth building. Upscaling Earth showcases innovative thinking about materials and the potential for earth building to replace more environmentally damaging, resourceintensive materials like concrete. What economic, environmental, and social conditions, the book asks, would be necessary for an upscaling of earth to occur? Presenting a wide range of built and unbuilt projects and outlining strategies that can be implemented to adapt the use of earth to each unique culture and context, Upscaling Earth demonstrates groundbreaking technological innovations that highlight the advantages of this material. From worldwide availability to the possibility of comprehensive recycling, from climate-neutral production to socially just implementation, the book reveals the incredible potential of earthen architecture. https://www.regenerativematerials.org/catalog-blog/ihh4ccyjd48htvbkojot5ft52l3a4f-zn299-s9zj3-73w36-bpzkp-7stg7-cynzl-tg6p6-aaxgp monthly 0.5 2022-06-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614642b764fff36ade02c1cf/78b7b941-cef2-41e2-8db5-8c45582b1a9d/2_THE+RAUCH+HOUSE_A+MODEL+OF+ADVANCED+CLAY+ARCHITECTURE.jpg Catalog Blog - The Rauch House. A Model of Advanced Clay Architecture - Schlins in Vorarlberg has long been a Mecca for those interested in experimental earth building techniques. On a steep south-facing slope, clay builder Martin Rauch has built his new residential and studio building here in collaboration with architect Roger Boltshauser from Zurich. From the foundation to the flat roof, it is formed from the excavated earth extracted on site: the floors, vaulted ceilings, wall and ceiling plaster, the steps, tiles and washstands - all made from the one material clay in its various forms of processing. The house is as much a show house as it is a document of a unique collaboration. At the same time, it is an impressive example of how a spatially and tectonically adequate design can be achieved with the static and design limits of this “soft”, massive type of construction. And how an archaic building technique can be used in a contemporary way. With its ecological, building-biological and aesthetic qualities, earthen building is once again gaining in topicality, especially with today’s renewed focus on energy and ecological balances. The building presented in this book has received national and international awards and sets a milestone in this field. https://www.regenerativematerials.org/catalog-blog/ihh4ccyjd48htvbkojot5ft52l3a4f-zn299-s9zj3-73w36-bpzkp-7stg7-6kj6x-8whzw-b37zk-mfa8k monthly 0.5 2022-06-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614642b764fff36ade02c1cf/b058311c-1a9a-40ce-bbd4-bb4efd346461/2_TRAITE+DE+CONSTRUCTION+EN+TERRE.jpg Catalog Blog - Traité de Construction en Terre - Earth is the most widespread building material in the world: the vast majority of human habitation uses it. From vernacular examples that combine centuries of experience and elaborate know-how, to contemporary achievements that incorporate a real degree of sophistication and advanced technical research, earthen construction reveals the richness and variety of its potential while adapting to a wide variety of contexts.

Case Studies on Building and Nature - What is “good” architecture? There are extensive criteria attached to this seemingly simple question - much like “good” food, which has increasingly become a social issue in recent decades. This book compiles a selection of buildings based on simple technologies, craftsmanship, and the careful use of local and natural materials. The buildings exhibit excellent construction quality, support landscape restoration, and community building. They come from Europe and Japan and shine a light on lesser-known architects, inconspicuous structures, and marginal places where independent ideas and concepts have been able to develop. https://www.regenerativematerials.org/catalog-blog/ihh4ccyjd48htvbkojot5ft52l3a4f-zn299-s9zj3-73w36-bpzkp-dhmjf-8tkt8-6dt6k-36x3k-knwzf-wc5ra monthly 0.5 2022-06-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614642b764fff36ade02c1cf/8189bfbc-7a7d-40fc-817d-39d102bcade0/3_REGLES+PROFESSIONELLES+DE+LA+CONSTRUCTION+EN+PAILLE_REMPLISSAGE+ISOLANT+ET+SUPPORT+D%27ENDUIT.jpg Catalog Blog - Regles Professionnelles de Construction en Paille - Straw, used as an insulating filling and as a support for rendering, finds its place in many construction projects: individual houses but also public buildings and apartment buildings. The revised CP 2012 professional rules accompany this development by uniting professionals around good practices. This third edition, reorganized and expanded with chapters by families of construction systems, is completed with new illustrations and enriched with feedback. A map of the risk of wetting of facades, accompanied by advice on the choice of the most appropriate facings, helps to take into account climatic constraints during design. The book details the properties of the straw bale material, the construction systems linked to the use of straw (frameworks, insulation), the management of interfaces between building trades (joinery, technical equipment), as well as the implementation of coatings, cladding and veneers. Numerous practical documents are provided in the appendix: specifications, schedules, procedures and quality control sheets, calculation methods, maps of climatic conditions, etc. https://www.regenerativematerials.org/catalog-blog/ihh4ccyjd48htvbkojot5ft52l3a4f-zn299-s9zj3-73w36-bpzkp-7stg7-cynzl-tg6p6-aaxgp-twt9e-zfe87-zlpsa monthly 0.5 2022-06-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614642b764fff36ade02c1cf/61df8987-aabd-4ea5-b3d4-bc59f6d7c2d2/3_LA+CONSTRUCTION+EN+PAILLE_PRINCIPLES+FONDAMENTAUX+TECHNIQUES+DE+MISE+EN+OEUVRE+EXAMPLES+DE+REALISATIONS.jpg Catalog Blog - La Construction en Paille - Straw is a renewable, local, healthy resource with great insulating power. Luckily, France, a large producer of cereals, does not lack straw... Straw is therefore the ideal material to build passive or positive energy buildings in France. CQFD. In this book, the author presents the main characteristics of straw, the regulatory and normative context applicable to this material, the different types of building systems using straw in all its forms. Then, through some forty examples of individual or collective buildings selected mainly in France, Belgium, Switzerland and Great Britain, the author illustrates all the constructive techniques. Straw is used either as an insulating filling material, or as a structural and therefore load-bearing material, or as a combination of both. The following are described: selfsupporting structural straw, hybrid straw-supporting techniques and complementary structures, straw - framework - rendering collaboration, straw-filled caissons, use of straw in bulk, straw concretes, interior and exterior straw insulation for rehabilitation or new buildings. https://www.regenerativematerials.org/catalog-blog/ihh4ccyjd48htvbkojot5ft52l3a4f-zn299-s9zj3-73w36-bpzkp-7stg7-6kj6x-8whzw-b37zk-mfa8k-2tg48-6dtrt-fjd4w monthly 0.5 2022-06-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614642b764fff36ade02c1cf/17c85f95-9021-4719-aae5-63c31a5453db/3_L%27ISOLATION+THERMIQUE+ECOLOGIQUE.jpg Catalog Blog - L’isolation thermique écologique - Published in 2001, the first version of Ecological Thermal Insulation quickly became the reference in France on the subject.

In colour throughout, fully illustrated with beautiful photographs, this book provides a full explanation of construction techniques, highlighting potential pitfalls and how to avoid them. It includes a comprehensive resources section and examples of completed builds, with design notes. Hempcrete is a building material with excellent properties. It’s made from lime and hemp shivs and can be used for walls, floors, and for roof insulation. Hempcrete is breathable, absorbing and emitting moisture; this helps regulate internal humidity, avoiding trapped moisture and mould growth, and creating healthier buildings. It provides excellent acoustic and thermal insulation and thermal mass. It’s light-weight, reducing construction costs, and it’s environmentally friendly: it locks up CO2 for the life of the building, and the hemp doesn’t require agrochemicals or insecticides in its cultivation. https://www.regenerativematerials.org/catalog-blog/ihh4ccyjd48htvbkojot5ft52l3a4f-zn299-s9zj3-73w36-bpzkp-7stg7-6kj6x-8whzw-b37zk-mfa8k-2tg48-6dtrt-fjd4w-z4a5a monthly 0.5 2022-06-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614642b764fff36ade02c1cf/3ce949d2-4c94-4cce-adea-229e3b1b91cb/4_ATLAS+RECYCLING_GEBAUDE+ALS+MATERIALRESSOURCE.jpg Catalog Blog - Atlas Recycling: Gebäude als Materialressource - Today, it is less about potential savings and more about ways to keep the immense reserves of raw materials in the building stock “active”. Apart from “sufficiency, consistency and efficiency”, this goal implies the intelligent use of resources, the recyclability of constructions, a circular construction, in short: “urban mining” in the building industry. This requires a change in values and a fundamental rethinking of planning and execution. The great challenge for architects and engineers is not only to convince through aesthetic, economic and socio-cultural qualities, but also to realize buildings that are permanently environmentally compatible to the same extent. Deconstructability and recycling should be firmly established as early as the design stage in order to be able to exploit recycling potential at a later stage. The Recycling Atlas provides the necessary expertise for the associated paradigm shift in building https://www.regenerativematerials.org/catalog-blog/ihh4ccyjd48htvbkojot5ft52l3a4f-zn299-s9zj3-73w36-999xj-whef3-36m7e-3lktf-29a5z-5m6bf-mjz9w-9jfsg monthly 0.5 2022-06-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614642b764fff36ade02c1cf/0e56c24f-5f39-42c1-9ff8-7baaddb1d751/4_BAUTEILE+WIEDERVERWENDEN.jpg Catalog Blog - Bauteile Wiederverwenden - Building with reused components is currently one of the most talked-about phenomena in the European architectural debate. When building elements that will last for decades are not destroyed but reused for new buildings, this not only saves resources. It also drastically reduces energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions in the construction phase of buildings. This so-called circular construction brings with it a multitude of very different issues - from technical and energy-related to legal aspects. This is even more true in the present day, although the phenomenon itself can look back on an ancient line of tradition - thousands of years ago, decaying buildings were already being cannibalized for new construction activity https://www.regenerativematerials.org/catalog-blog/ihh4ccyjd48htvbkojot5ft52l3a4f-zn299-s9zj3-73w36-bpzkp-dhmjf-8tkt8-6dt6k-36x3k-knwzf-wc5ra-cbf2b-5crxj monthly 0.5 2022-06-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614642b764fff36ade02c1cf/b3852043-551e-48c6-b7e3-5ef1e4bcad25/4_BUILDING+FROM+WASTE_RECOVERED+MATERIALS+IN+ARCHITECTURE+AND+CONSTRUCTION.jpg Catalog Blog - Building from Waste. Recovered Materials in Architecture and Construction - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Recover is the sustainable guideline that has replaced the Take, Make, Waste attitude of the industrial age. Based on their background at the ETH Zurich and the Future Cities Laboratory in Singapore, the authors provide both a conceptual and practical look into materials and products which use waste as a renewable resource. This book introduces an inventory of current projects and building elements, ranging from marketed products, among them faade panels made of straw and self-healing concrete, to advanced research and development like newspaper, wood or jeans denim used as isolating fibres. Going beyond the mere recycling aspect of reused materials, it looks into innovative concepts of how materials usually regarded as waste can be processed into new construction elements. The products are organized along the manufacturing processes: densified, reconfigured, transformed, designed and cultivated materials. A product directory presents all materials and projects in this book according to their functional uses in construction: load-bearing, self-supporting, insulating, waterproofing and finishing products. https://www.regenerativematerials.org/catalog-blog/ihh4ccyjd48htvbkojot5ft52l3a4f-zn299-s9zj3-73w36-bpzkp-7stg7-cynzl-tg6p6-aaxgp-twt9e-zfe87-zlpsa-xpd82-4cnb3 monthly 0.5 2022-06-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614642b764fff36ade02c1cf/8815ff6d-df78-4bb9-b5c7-ea2407c38e6f/4_RECYCLABLE+BY+WERNER+SOBEK.png Catalog Blog - Recyclable by Werner Sobek - “Recyclable by Werner Sobek” documents the experimental unit “Urban Mining & Recycling” (UMAR) designed by Sobek with Dirk E.

This guide is dedicated to this important question. The linear economic model and thus the destruction of resources is countered by the idea of closed material cycles, newly designed constructions and (reverse) construction technologies, and innovative, cycle-oriented business models. The built environment must be understood as a storehouse of materials and planned for the easy removal of building materials. International experts will shed light on how the challenges of a circular economy can be met with completely new methodological approaches from very different perspectives and using forwardlooking project examples. A collection of selected material examples shows the special aesthetics and value of reused and recycled building materials and components.
