- 32. ECO-EFFECTIVE VS. ECO-EFFICIENT ARCHITECTURE Eco-Efficient Architecture: • Minimize energy use • Reuse Materials • Dematerialization – less materials • Recycling „The house is a machine for living“ (LeCorbusier) • Uniform design regardless of place • Facilitated by air conditioning • Short on fresh air and natural light
- 33. BEYOND THE LIMITS OF SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE Eco-effective architecture • Rematerialization – Technical and biological cycles – Integrated with nature‘s nutrient and energy cycles • Material chemistry – Positively defined material chemistry – e.g. Climatex and BASF carpet fiber
- 34. Buildings like trees, Cities like forests
- 35. Adam Joseph Lewis Center for Environmental Studies I Oberlin College, OH
- 36. ECO-EFFECTIVE ARCHITECTURE • More Impact – More habitat – More clean water – More fresh air – More pleasure – More beauty – More biological diversity – More fun • Intelligent Workplace – Responds to outdoor and indoor conditions

- 55. AVR VAN GANSEWINKEL: THE NUTRIENT MANAGER “For us Cradle to Cradle is not a new invention, it is more a recognition of existing activities and re- discovering what our business is really about!” • “We embrace it and support it. In our opinion nutrients should not be wasted. We can give it a new lease of life.” Ruud Sondag CEO, AVR - Van Gansewinkel
- 56. STATEMENT FROM THE CEO OF DESSO “With Cradle to Cradle, Desso is in it for the long haul. It’s a challenging task which will involve the creation of entirely new products and technologies. But it’s a task we’re proud to undertake, for the betterment of our products, our brand, the people and our planet.” CEO - Stef Kranendijk, Desso
- 57. INTELLIGENT MATERIALS POOLING (IMP) – PHASE ONE Creating Strength: • Identify partners • Identify substances to eliminate
- 58. INTELLIGENT MATERIALS POOLING (IMP) – PHASE TWO Using Strength: • Develop a collective list of intelligent materials (i.e. positive purchasing and procurement list) – I.e. eco-effective polymers and additives, alloys, building materials, etc.
- 59. INTELLIGENT MATERIALS POOLING (IMP) – PHASE THREE Define Flows: • Define use periods for products and services • IMP uses high quality materials, becoming a virtual ‘materials bank’
