Gesundes Bauen

This book documents the work and methodology of BASEhabitat, an international studio within the architecture department at the University of Arts Linz. Established under Roland Gnaiger and led by Sigi Atteneder, the platform has long been shaped by contributions from notable architects and lecturers, including Martin Rauch, Anna Heringer and Florian Nagler. Focusing on the intersection of socio-ecological design and hands-on practice, the volume illustrates how regenerative materials like earth and bamboo can address contemporary global challenges. The publication combines critical essays by experts with two distinct visual sections, featuring comprehensive architectural plans, technical drawings, and project photography from around the world. - How to create spaces that are ecologically, economically, and socially responsible - Collaborations with NGOs and international initiatives - Project documentation, interviews, and essays on circular economy, adaptive reuse, materials, and related topics
