Description
Solid matter. This book explores contemporary expressions for durable, solid and homogeneous wall structures made from materials such as clay, wood, brick, concrete and recycled materials. It analyzes 25 projects that prioritize single-origin materials and easy dismantling. The book examines various design and construction approaches to mass and materiality, providing insights into the strategies and background of monolithic architecture and solid construction methods. Numerous drawings document the projects, while two essays and interviews offer a deeper understanding of the subject matter. Analytical presentations of single-variety and demountable construction methods reveal the potential of solid building materials in contributing to climate protection and sustainability.
