THE REAL DEAL – Post-Fossil Construction for GC

The construction industry must make a drastic 
U-turn if it hopes to help slow climate change. The
 sector must abandon “business as usual,” and
everyone—architects, builders, investors, and
 users—has to play their part.

Using a global perspective, TRD presents 
economic, social, and ecological changes needed
 for the industry and society to reverse course. In a 
series of thought-provoking essays and inspirational 
interviews with accomplished specialists, the 
book gives a valuable account of how players from
 different disciplines are facing the challenges of 
the climate crisis, and delves into the application
 of regenerative construction materials, dispelling 
common prejudices that have slowed their adoption
by the industry.
 

At its core, TRD provides analysis and
 insights that can spark an ultimate call to action 
for practitioners and policymakers who need to
 overcome the legal, practical, and mental barriers 
that block the changes necessary to save our planet.
