Product information "Recyclable by Werner Sobek (German / English)"

We already have the ability to create buildings that are both sustainable and breathtakingly beautiful today – if only we can summon the will do to so. Designed by Werner Sobek with Dirk E. Hebel and Felix Heisel, the "Urban Mining & Recycling" Experimental Unit (UMAR) uses the example of serially manufactured housing to demonstrate the first fully comprehensive application of recyclable materials. All of the elements required to construct the Unit had to be 100% reusable, recyclable or compostable. In order to achieve this goal, every single detail, every product and every structure involved in the project was scrutinised with a critical eye.

Prof. Werner Sobek is the founder of an international group of engineering and design consultancies, offering premium consultancy services for architecture, structures, façades and sustainability. By means of award-winning experimental buildings such as R128, H16, F87, B10 and (most recently) UMAR he studies how new materials, structures and technologies can bring about a radical change of our built environment.

Leading the way for the use of recyclates in serial houses Construction. Plea for sustainable and at the same time breathtakingly beautiful building.

Werner Sobek: Light Works

German - Russian Edition Werner Sobek is one of the leading engineers and structural designers of our time. His works have been awarded numerous distinctions and enjoy worldwide the highest reputation. They all excel through their high level of sophistication and innovation, both with regard to materials and structural systems, thus demonstrating impressively Werner Sobek's biggest asset: the capacity to design filigree, nearly dematerialised structures with perfect details, structures that are in true harmony with their form and function. This book presents a sample of the most important projects in the fields of design, materials, skins and structures.

Residentials by Werner Sobek

Single-family houses that set benchmarksWerner Sobek is a researcher, designer and the founder of an internationally active group of planning offices. As an architect and consulting engineer, he has spent many years creating prize-winning experimental buildings to examine how new materials, structures and technologies can radically change our built environment. The single-family houses he has designed (such as R128, H16, Y1 and B10) have set new benchmarks with regard to both technology and aesthetics. This book presents the most important examples of his work from the last two decades.

Aktivhaus B10 by Werner Sobek

One House. Energy for many.The Active House B10 is situated in the heart of the famous Weissenhof estate in Stuttgart. It is a research project exploring how innovative materials, constructions and technologies can sustainably improve our built environment. Owing to an ingenious energy concept and self-learning home automation, the building produces twice its energy requirement. The surplus thus gained powers two electric cars and an adjacent building designed by the architect Le Corbusier (since 2006 home to the Weissenhof museum).Prof. Werner Sobek is the founder of a globally active association of planning agencies for architecture, support structure planning, façade planning, sustainability consulting and design. Based on award-winning experimental buildings such as R128, H16, F87 and B10 he analyses how new materials, structures and technologies can radically change our built environment.
