20 petites leçons d’économie de matière

Through 20 case studies Victor Meesters (Rotor) and Vincent Laureau introduce a series of concepts, practices and strategies for reducing the overall material consumption in construction. 
The chosen projects show current applications of old and new material saving strategies and present a starting point for a reconsideration of material use in architecture and construction.
The book showcases interventions at different scales, going from moving entire buildings to facilitating maintenance, providing pragmatic actions that can be integrated into everyday construction and design practices.
