Robust architecture is created based on needs. It is sufficient, resilient, and appropriate to the location. It is about the potential of simplicity, about traditional construction, and about alternative paths to sustainable architecture. Local building materials, solid craftsmanship, and proven construction methods provide guidance. Combined with contemporary planning tools and research findings, this results in design strategies for a climate-positive future. This book provides comprehensive information on what lies behind the terms “robust architecture” and “low-tech design.” It offers strategies and ways to implement them easily. And various best-practice examples with very different requirement profiles demonstrate how simple the practice can be: sustainability through low-tech!
