描述
In a context of environmental crisis, the construction industry, responsible for 37% of annual global CO₂ emissions, is undergoing a paradigm shift. All-concrete solutions will no longer suffice. Which materials could replace concrete, how, and in what combinations?
To answer these questions, alternatives must be identified, evaluated, and compared. A generous and open toolbox, this book examines all those currently available, from timber and earth to stone and straw. Offering a comparative approach of bio- and geo-sourced materials applied to real-life situations, it provides the keys to a renewed way of building.
This publication comes out of a study undertaken by Paris
& Métropole Aménagement in the context of ZAC Chapelle Charbon, an urban development project in the 18th arrondissement of Paris. Cofinanced by the Île-de-France Region’s Réflexe Bois Biosourcés program, it compares different construction systems using bio- and geo-sourced materials, and is the work of a team comprising h2o architectes,LM Ingénieur, Atelier Franck Boutté, BMF, and Casso & Associés.Piloted by Paris & Métropole Aménagement, the public developer of the City of Paris, the ZAC Chapelle Charbon
urban project was conceived by a team led by Base Paysagiste, alongside h2o architectes urbanistes, Grau, Egis and Sennse.
