Made of Solar

Designing architecture with solar cells - principles and qualities of a new architecture The rapid development of solar technology is not only increasing the efficiency of energy production, it is also reducing costs, so that solar architecture may soon be considered the new normal. Solar components are increasingly being used in building design. The wide range of technical solutions now offers fascinating possibilities for design.

Made of Solar shows the principles and qualities of a new architecture. Integrated both on the roof and on the façade, the well-designed solutions presented here follow the rules of solar energy production, but also open up new architectural freedom. The book presents a selection of 25 pioneering, realised buildings with 3D details, plans, graphics and large-format colour photographs.
