AKTIVHAUS B10 BY WERNER SOBEKThe Active House B10 is situated in the heart of the famous Weissenhof
estate in Stuttgart. It is a research project exploring how
innovative
materials, constructions and technologies can sustainably improve our
built environment. Owing to an ingenious energy concept and
self-learning home automation the building produces twice its energy
requirement. The surplus thus gained powers two
electric cars and an adjacent building designed by the architect Le Corbusier (since 2006 home to the Weissenhof museum).
Prof.
Werner Sobek is the founder of a globally active association of
planning agencies for architecture, support structure planning,
facade
planning, sustainability consulting and design. Based on award-winning
experimental buildings such as R128, H16, F87 and now B10 he analyses
how new materials, structures and technologies can radically change our
built environment. |
