About this book

Good holistic design

Health and environmental compatibility are key topics in contemporary society. The book shows how the built environment can be aesthetically pleasing, modern and, at the same time, healthy and environmentally friendly. It makes the link between architecture as a design task and a building biology approach to design.

Building biology teaches us about the holistic interaction between people and their built environment. It combines building culture with ecology and disciplines such as chemistry, biology, geology, and psychology.

Using the building of the Institute of Building Biology + Sustainability (IBN) as a model, building biology criteria and approaches are explained in detail. Numerous additional current projects illustrate how these are implemented in responsible, healthy, and hence sustainable architecture.

Introduction to building biology
Sustainable, healthy construction methods in contemporary architectural design
Eighteen international best practice examples of energy efficiency, healthy and high-quality interior

Reviews

"[...] maar voor iedereen die architectuur interessant vindt is dit een fascinerend boek, want het geeft heel goed aan hoe de toekomst er uit zou kunnen zien. Want hier gaat het om verantwoorde, gezonde, duurzame architectuur, en dan gaat het ineens veel verder dan alleen maar een gebouw neerzetten – het is absoluut fascinerend om te zien wat er dan allemaal bij komt kijken."
