Climate change, extreme weather conditions, the degradation of biodiversity, CO2 and fine-dust pollution in cities demand action. How can architecture make a contribution to achieving a paradigm shift? Can architecture not only be designed to be removable and recyclable, but to be additionally green as well? Can architecture also be an ecological system? What is blue-green architecture?

Architects face the demand to fully exploit unused potential and find ways to use plants as tools for design. This is both the case in the development of spaces as well as urban environments, but particularly on buildings themselves.

“Green Facades” provides architects with the necessary specialist knowledge to competently deal with the living architecture on the building envelope.

Issue 12/2024

For the 11th time since 2005, the Detail Award recognises built projects that have captivated both our international jury and our readers. Among the awards is the Students’ Award, which drew participation from 55 universities in 42 countries – spanning from China to Hungary. In this issue, we showcase the winning projects for the Detail Award 2024, including the recipient of the Students’ Award and the winner of the Readers’ Award, which received 486 out of 2,133 votes in our online poll. Notably, this year’s awards celebrate projects by architecture firms and universities across Europe – from Denmark to Spain and Switzerland.

Our December issue also turns to masonry architecture, with explorations of natural stone traditions in France’s Bouches-du- Rhône region, the Brighton College cam­pus in southern England, and Denmark’s brick building heritage. Sandra Hofmeister
