Sustainable planning and construction has become one of the central questions in architecture. Climate change, scarcity of resources and economic crises are increasingly forcing architects and planners to critically question traditional methods and solutions. Research institutes and universities, as well as architectural and engineering firms, have long begun to look for new concepts for the implementation of sustainable architecture and urban development. In the summer of 2011, the Münster School of Architecture held six symposia to discuss controversial issues with international experts. “Building the Future” summarises the different levels and positions of current concepts: The aim is to present the coherences and attitudes of sustainable building in a holistic way. Well-known authors and their contributions represent the current state of research on this topic and show innovative approaches and solutions for the architecture of the future.
