Publisher: Springer Nature Switzerland AG
This comprehensive book delves into the realm of prospective climate-adaptive building materials in desert and dryland regions, taking into account the profound impacts of climate change, desertification, urbanization, and the ensuing sustainable urban development challenges. It serves as a valuable resource for architects, engineers, and researchers seeking innovative solutions to address these complex issues.
The book begins by examining the characterization of biotic and abiotic resources for materials, emphasizing their specifications and potential benefits in creating bio-climatic designs and constructions that thrive in arid environments. Special attention is given to ecological composite materials, as they hold immense promise for advancing desert architecture.
Building upon the initial collection of ecological materials, the book culminates in exploring the potential for new ecological building materials. The eComposite Combinator matrix serves as a valuable tool, offering potential research recipes and encouraging readers to delve deeper into climate-related research endeavors.
Overall, this book provides a comprehensive and insightful exploration of the role of climate-adaptive building materials in fostering sustainable urban development in desert and dryland regions. It serves as a valuable reference for professionals, researchers, and policymakers alike, as they strive to create resilient and environmentally friendly built environments in the face of climate change.
