Through selected projects, this book explores architecture as an evolving practice—one that respects cultural heritage, engages communities, and embraces environmental responsibility. Featuring in-depth interviews and project analysis, Architecture Is Construction provides a compelling narrative on how architecture can foster a harmonious balance between built and natural environments.
A must-read for those passionate about sustainable design, innovative construction, and the future of our living environment.
The present volume is centered around fundamental questions: How can construction innovate in materials and methods to enhance ecological and social impact? In what ways can experimental design shape the future of sustainable construction? Can rehabilitation preserve cultural identity while meeting complex contemporary needs? And how can transdisciplinary collaboration between architects, craftspeople, and scientists of all generations create inclusive, forward-thinking solutions?
By highlighting context-sensitive construction, zero-carbon strategies, and the reimagining of vernacular techniques—while touching on the contemporary understanding of their application and the attitudes toward them—this publication underscores the integrative power of architecture. Featuring in-depth interviews and project analysis, Architecture Is Construction provides a compelling narrative on how architecture can foster a harmonious balance between built and natural environments.
