Future Build exposes the devastating environmental impact of modern construction while offering a bold vision for change.
Construction shapes the world we live in, but also leaves one of the heaviest footprints on our planet. From the relentless heat of cement kilns to the towering steel and concrete skeletons of our cities, Future Build reveals how our dependence on five key materials has led to soaring carbon emissions, waste and ecological destruction. But it doesn't have to be this way. Structural engineer Will Arnold offers a bold vision for change, revealing how every stage of construction - from design to demolition - can be transformed for the better. Through a global journey of pioneering projects and groundbreaking innovations, he showcases buildings that do more than just minimize harm: they actively heal the planet. From schools built of bamboo, to concrete floors designed with plant-like efficiency and houses made from waste, a better future is not only possible, it is already being built.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Bloomsbury SIGMAISBN-13:9781399429542ISBN-10:139942954XUPC:9781399429542Book Category:Technology & Engineering, ArchitectureBook Subcategory:Construction, Methods & Materials, Sustainability & Green DesignSize:9.21 x 6.02 x 1.00 inchesWeight:0.454Product ID:SCSWT9FMH5
