SOAK UP CARBON INTO BEAUTIFUL, HEALTHY BUILDINGS THAT HEAL THE CLIMATE We must go beyond building operations and address embodied carbon - phasing out carbon emissions in building materials and construction by mid-century; this book illustrates how. - EDWARD MAZRIA, Founder / CEO Architecture 2030 I recommend this book as a primer for anyone interested in combatting global climate change via building science. - JERRY YUDELSON, PE, LEED Fellow, The Godfather of Green - Wired Magazine and author, Reinventing Green Building That same carbon atom that's wreaking havoc in the atmosphere is a building block for many great traditional and new building materials. The New Carbon Architecture shows us how in ways that are both practical and imaginative - truly a resource for our times. - NADAV MALIN, President, BuildingGreen, Inc. LIKE NEVER BEFORE in history, buildings can become part of the climate solution. With biomimicry and innovation, we can pull huge amounts of carbon out of the atmosphere and lock it up as walls, roofs, foundations, and insulation. We can literally make buildings out of sky with a massive positive impact. The New Carbon Architecture is a paradigm-shifting tour of the innovations in architecture and construction that are making this happen. Office towers built from advanced wood products; affordable, low-carbon concrete alternatives; plastic cleaned from the oceans and turned into building blocks. We can even grow insulation and bricks! A tour de force from the leaders in the field, The New Carbon Architecture will fire the imagination of architects, engineers, builders, policy makers, and everyone else captivated by the possibility of architecture that heals the climate and produces safer, healthier, and more beautiful buildings. BRUCE KING , a structural engineer for 35 years, is Founder and Director of the Ecological Building Network (EBNet) and author of Buildings of Earth and Straw, Making Better Concrete, and Design of Straw Bale Buildings .
