Einfach Bauen II

Learning from Einfach Bauen – the indispensable sequel!

What is it like to live in one of the research houses? How has the concept of Einfach Bauen worked out in practice?

This book presents an evaluation of long-term measurements in relation to three experimental buildings made of solid wood, masonry, and lightweight concrete in a monolithic construction form, and provides insights into how the designers’ original ideas are reflected in actual use. The three buildings are compared in terms of environmental impact, costs, and comfort. Surveys of the residents and a photo series add to our understanding of the human experience. This transparent comparison is intended to contribute to the further development of the Einfach Bauen concept.
