Proceedings of the UIA World Congress of Architects Copenhagen 2023, by Mette Ramsgaard Thomsen, Carlo Ratti, Martin Tamke, B0C95QCZM7, 3031365534, 3031365542, 9783031365539, 9783031365546, 978-3031365539, 978-3031365546
The book provides new perspectives from leading researchers accentuating and examining the central role of the built environment in conceiving and implementing multifaceted solutions for the complex challenges of our understanding of planetary resources and circularity, revealing critical potentials for architecture and design to contribute in more informed and long-term ways to the urgent transition of our society. The book offers a compilation of peer-reviewed papers that uniquely connects knowledge broadly across practice and academia; from the newest technologies and methods such as the role of digital modelling, analysis, and fabrication in circular design, i.e. material passports, cyber-physical augmentation, and LCA to the potentials of growing and harvesting biomass materials, engaging waste streams in material production and more, all in context of economic, social, and ecological potentials and consequences.
