Author: Daniel Mettler, Daniel Studer, Yufei He, BUK - ETH Zurich (eds.)The rapid development of solar technology is not manifesting itself in terms of more efficient energy generation, it is also reducing costs, so that solar architecture may soon be the new normal. This title showcases the principles and qualities of a new architecture. Integrated on roof or façade, the carefully designed solutions presented here follow the rules of solar power production, but also deliver new architectural freedoms. Solar components are increasingly finding their way into architecture as a wide range of technical solutions opens up fascinating new design possibilities. The book selects and presents 25 pioneering structures via 3D details, plans, graphics, and large-format colour photographs.ISBN 9783035628739.
