"A quarter of a century ago, Bernd Janes looked for like-minded comrades-in-arms and founded an ecologically oriented housing estate on the outskirts of Kohlhof. At first, the new neighbors were eyed critically by the surrounding community. No wonder, because the houses were built in wood, four families shared one house and the gardens were not separated from each other by fences, but merged seamlessly into each other."

Reportage der Stadt Berlin „Ressourceneffizenter Bauen mit Beton, Gips, Ziegel und Holz“

Published 22 November 2020

Reportage of the city of Berlin "Resource-efficient building with concrete, gypsum, brick and wood".

19:09 min, Published on: 18.11.2020

Dwindling raw materials, dwindling landfill space and ambitious climate protection targets make it essential to overcome the high use of resources in the construction industry. The film shows that there are already many ways to use building materials sustainably in the cycle: Recycled concrete, recycled gypsum, the reuse and recycling of bricks and the renewable raw material wood.

Around 60 percent of the resources used in Berlin are processed in the construction industry. This contrasts with millions of tonnes of building rubble and construction site waste. Every year, 2.2 million tons of primary raw materials are already saved in civil engineering and building construction in Berlin through the use of quality-assured secondary raw materials. But Berlin does not intend to stop there. By 2030, a further 1.4 million tonnes of primary materials are to be replaced by secondary raw materials each year.

Book about cohousing projects in Europe

Published by Wohnbund e.V.

Creating sufficient affordable housing - especially in European conurbations - is one of the great challenges of our future and calls for new solutions. In view of demographic change, changing family structures and growing environmental awareness, completely new forms of housing have developed in Europe: shared living for young and old, residents' cooperatives, senior living projects, eco-settlements, integrative living or neighbourhoods in the neighbourhood. Above all, the significance of communal living will change against the background of social traditions and framework conditions such as housing policy and the housing market. This book offers an insight into communal living in eleven European countries - Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, France, Great Britain, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Germany - and presents a large number of exemplary housing projects with their structural and social concepts as well as their different forms of sponsorship.

The book (120 pages) was published by Jovis Verlag and can be purchased at the wohnbund office and in bookshops (ISBN 978-3-86859-406-5).
