Material transitions in architecture and construction: Social implications, appropriation, and outcomes for sustainability

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This TATuP Special topic is intended to contribute to interdisciplinary, problemoriented research on the shift toward bio- and earth-based building materials considering the related socio-technical, economic, political, ecological, and regulatory adaptation and adoption processes. It aims to examine the research and use of sustainable building materials from an integrative perspective, emphasizing the associated visions of the future, implementation opportunities and obstacles, conditions of use and acceptability, as well as the requirements of integration into the planning phases in architecture and construction. Pointed international perspectives referring to the local built heritage are also welcome.
