Every second, more than 500 kilograms of construction waste are generated throughout Switzerland. Which buildings are demolished and how much resources are lost through this process? What motivates building owners to demolish? What roles do laws and standards play? And what does this mean for our environment and our future?

Developing a roadmap for low-carbon and carbon-storing materials with potential for broad impact through exploration of emerging strategies.

The AIA-CLF Embodied Carbon Toolkit for Architects serves to provide architects an overview and the necessary steps to be taken to reduce embodied carbon in their projects. This resource is divided into three parts, introducing the necessary steps and resources to take in reducing embodied carbon. This resource intends to empower building designers by: introducing embodied carbon and discussing its significance in furthering architects’ influence in decarbonizing the building industry. providing an understanding of measuring embodied carbon through the methodology of a life cycle assessment. equipping them with strategies to reduce embodied carbon in their own projects. incorporating additional resources for implemented strategies and tools that this resource examines.

A building repurposing and extension in Winterthur exemplifies how design processes can be turned upside-down in favor of circular construction and compelling residential architecture.

Practice Architecture’s house is built from the plant growing in the fields around it. The project addresses a vital issue – the energy consumed and carbon emitted during construction

Knowing where our materials come from, what’s in them, how they were made, and how long they’ll persist in the environment beyond the life of a building gives us greater control over our projects and product decisions. This knowledge allows architects to set priorities and identify opportunities for innovation.

"Green buildings" that slash energy use and carbon emissions are all the rage, but they aren't enough. The hidden culprit is embodied carbon — the carbon emitted when materials are mined, manufactured, and transported — comprising some 10% of …

BAMB - Buildings As Materials Banks (BAMB2020) - wants to increase the value of building materials, reduce waste and the use of fewer virgin resources. Dynamically and flexibly designed buildings can be incorporated into a circular economy – where materials sustain their value.

Transforming the market for building materials to advance the best environmental, health and social outcomes.
