In very densely populated cities like Zurich, the many buildings have an immense impact on the city's climate and the environment. Based on this knowledge, we see it as important to think about the previous construction of buildings.
In our project we would like to show the difference between the building material and the surface of different buildings. We investigate and compare common building materials with each other, as well as different possibilities of surface texture. From this, we create two models which are the best and worst combination and what differences they represent for the climate. The focus is on the lifecycle of the different building materials and the resulting consequences for the environment and climate.
Taking into account various factors to determine the models there may be different results depending on the location. As a team based in Zurich, we create the model from a Swiss perspective. A cooperation to see a different point of view and therefore different insights could be quite useful.
