Ökologische Stadtentwicklung bleibt oft eine Sache der Politik und der Technologie. Dieses entwurfsorientierte Buch zeigt die Methoden und Ergebnisse des Zusammenwirkens der Architektur mit Infrastruktur und Städtebau. Ausgangspunkt der Darstellung ist ein kritisches Resumee der Erfahrungen mit den fünf prototypischen Ökostädten Vauban/Freiburg, solarCity/Linz, Valdespartera, Sarriguren/Pamplona und Bo01/Malmø. In welchen Bereichen können Architektur und Städtebau mit den Methoden kreativen Entwerfens nachhaltige Ergebnisse im städtischen Maßstab erzielen? Vier Aufgabenfelder zeichnen sich ab, die in diesem Buch unter den Schlagwörtern „Materialize“, „Mobilize“, „Simulate“ und „Transform“ behandelt werden: es geht um Materialien und Materialverwendung jenseits der konventionellen Baustofffunktionen; um die Einbindung von Lösungen der Smart Mobility in den gebauten Stadtraum; um realitätsnahe Voraussagen über den zeitlichen Verlauf der Interaktion zwischen Architektur und Umwelt; und um die Verwandlung des urbanen Bestands durch architektonische Eingriffe.

The goal of advancing eco cities often remains confined to political or technological issues. This book establishes a focus on architectural and infrastructural design approaches to sustainable urban development. Taking as a basis the critical assessment of the five prototypical eco cities of Vauban/Freiburg, solarCity/Linz, Valdespartera, Sarriguren/Pamplona und Bo01/Malmø., the book identifies fields in which architectural and urban designers can use their creative skills and methods to achieve sustainable results on the urban scale. The themes of Materialize, Mobilize, Simulate and Transform highlight the shift from the manipulation of quantitative variables to interactive relationships effecting qualitative outcomes in design. For example, Materialize explores the potential of eco-design beyond the traditional palette of materials to show how spatial boundaries can be re-imagined as gradients of conditioned versus unconditioned space, working with climatic conditions rather than material boundaries to help generate new forms of urban architecture.
