to come
Our economic activities turn natural resources (space, matter and
energy) into services for society (territorial organisation, materials,
heat and mobility. They are being called into question today: What
difference does it make to think of the world no longer as a world
without limits but as one with finite dimensions? This is particularly
the case of the construction sector, for which we know the major
impacts in terms of resource needs and waste production.
marks. Our intention is not to turn them into an emblem of modernity or ecology, but to capitalise on them for a qualified response:
the right quantity – the right material and energy flow – for the right
form. Our goal is not any given materiality any more than energy,
nor even architectural form, but to secure the conditions which the
degrowth economist Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen called “the joy of
life” in 1973.
The infrastructure and facilities that we build must be of better quality to reduce the material and energy flows that circulate
between them. Sustainable construction defines the additional investments needed so as to be able to function better with less (energy, maintenance, etc.). The very conditions of investment must
therefore be reconsidered: the aim today must be to consume ever
less, better and differently – even if it means investing more, better and differently. The road map for energy efficiency is becoming
increasingly clear: everything points to the need for energy criteria
that are as efficient as those of the passive standard.
A world of finite dimensions “disillusions” the economic productive mechanisms ideally designed for growth. But it has the opposite effect on humans; as soon as they detach themselves from the
call of sleepwalking consumption. A world of finite dimensions is
“re-illusioned”: It gives back value to things, it gives meaning, utility
and functionality, whereas the consumerist utopia produces waste,
inefficiency and confusion. Whereas consumption turns the citizen
into a universal sucker, the world of finite dimensions relocates him,
and turns him into a competent, responsible stakeholder.
Sustainable construction is aimed at building not only more efficiently, from the structural or energy point of view, for instance,
but also more resiliently, i.e. capable of maintaining an appropriate
level of functioning in spite of uncertainties, be they a cold spell, a
heat wave, or the breakdown of a technical body. Certain technological gems that are flaunted as being highly efficient are concurrently very vulnerable – and thus not very resilient – to the slightest
power failure or malfunction of a simple electronic chip. Efficiency
and resilience are consequently paradoxical constraints. The designer’s work must accordingly pertain to the crossing of these two
rationales, on the territorial and construction scale.
A2M has searched in all directions in the course of its project.
Our choices are always made in an informed and critical manner
for specific reasons to do with resistance, economy, and transport,
particularly through the use of sustainable construction bench-
The question of the fair sharing of resources is the question of the
21st century. The architect is delegated by society to produce the
most resilient and most efficient space infrastructure and facilities
possible, by building a schematic framework which gives inhabitants the choice of being free and mutually assisting enabling them
to live their lives – in short, to inhabit this world of finite dimensions.
This is particularly the case in all A2M’s projects. The usual responses of the “sustainably correct” city – compactness, collective
mobility, functional diversity and intensity, etc. – work. The city is
more dense as a result; it also consumes more energy, space and
matter. But that is also what gives it its quality. To preserve its identity and avoid ideological or opportunistic “densification,” it must
be even more efficient. This is the principle investigated by A2M
and its partners when they design their projects, which are based
on a global approach and manage to remain economically very
affordable.

We could speak of
post-passive or high
design building. Through
the many projects
developed in Belgium,
the architectonic projects
are re-examined, and the
material regains primacy
over technique. New
design and construction
methods are emerging,
particularly with the
computer-aided parametric
design. Intended more
particularly for architects,
this presentation tends
to show passive building
no longer from the angle
of its constraints but
of its new potential.
At times there are no other
solutions to preserve the
aesthetic appearance of
a building that we want to
renovate. This presentation
describes in detail the

Mobile passive building:
towards autonomy
Through years of teaching
we've developed a very practical
approach, leading the participant
to apply the fundamentals in an
every-day project's life.
Interior insulation:
risks and potential
Among all actual matters, the
latest subjects we shall be
broaching, which we consider
topical, are given below. You might
find some of them of interest for
your training/lecture cycles.

What does passive building
do to architecture?
training
A transportable and
universal project, the
zero box adapts to every
environment. A home,
office or shop all at once,
this project, developed
in direct connection
with industrialists and
developers, raises the
questions of land use
and self-sufficiency
(energy, water, etc.).
2-hour training session
on growing pains and
other new pathologies of
high energy performance buildings. This
training is particularly
appreciated by the experts and insurers.
Hygrothermal principles
applied to buildings
(+Wufi software)": 2-hour
session on the theoretical principles of vapour
migration in walls,
followed by concrete
examples from practice –
particularly interesting to
delve in depth into topics
such as renovation and
interior insulation.

2-hour session on
financial impact
control throughout the
project, with a detailed
description of economic
aspects linked to
passive buildings.
Operating experience
and feedback from
several design and
build projects in
particular have enabled
us to identify several
decisive factors
for containing the
costs of the project
without being led by
the nose by external
stakeholders. This
training broaches
planning, preparation,
detail, material, and
design elements.
8-hour training
session that groups
the two cases below
and many cases
from practice. What
participants generally
appreciate are
concrete cases of
projects for massive/
light, new/renovation,
residential/commercial
construction, air
tightness, etc. The
training is followed
by implementation
where the participants
have to consider the
details with real tools
(condetti or models).
The specificity of
this training lies in
applying theoretical
principles in practice.
Reality
Check
2-hour assessment,
about labels, EPD,
LCA, EPDB, software,
criteria. How can you
find your way through
the jungle of different
labels of materials?
How can you take
their lifecycle into
account? What tools
can be used to make
objective choices and
what pertinent criteria
can be applied? This
training broaches these
questions and shows
some cases of practical
implementation
on projects.

Passive building abroad?
let's go worldwide
Exporting Belgian
expertise is not
always a simple
task! The project of
the Belgian embassy
in Kinshasa shows the
adjustments, solutions
and innovations needed
in a tropical, sunny
and radically different climate in terms
of construction. The
question arises whether
passive building is still
pertinent and possible
to apply under such latitudes. Recent Belgian
projects in New York
also show the impact of
more extreme climates
on the design of energy-efficient buildings.
2-hour session of
putting passive
buildings to the test
of the facts, success/
failure factors, etc.
A2M has been erecting
passive buildings
since 2003, and
this experience has
enabled us to identify
recurrent problems
but also simple
solutions and issues
to be monitored in
high environmental
performance projects.
2-day training course
(16 hours) particularly
focused on the passive building, which
goes over all of the
following aspects:
•
General,
•
Gains and losses
by transmission, ventilation,
infiltration
•

•
Hygrometry and
vapour diffusion
•
Ventilation systems
•

about
Since it was founded in the year 2000,
A2M has set itself the goal of making
our world more liveable by championing
quality contemporary architecture with high
environmental value. This attitude, which
has now become a methodology, enables
us to explore new territories in search
for a vision that addresses concurrently
social, urban, functional and formal
issues. The firm’s projects translate this
universe through an elegant, correct and
contemporary vocabulary.
We believe that the infrastructure and
facilities we build must be of the finest quality
so as to reduce the material and energy
flows between them; they must function
optimally with less (energy, maintenance,
etc.). This initial choice to concentrate
exclusively on sustainable projects (our first
passive building was designed in 2002) is
linked to the determination to tow an ethical
and aesthetic line.
Sustainable construction however is
geared not only to a more efficient, but
also a more resilient construction, capable
of maintaining its performance level in
spite of climatic and technical vagaries.
As the most efficient buildings owing to
the most advanced technological systems
are also the most fragile, our design work
must combine two rationales:
ensure
optimal energy performance for the long
term. Nowadays, the passive standard
is no longer a question, but a necessary
condition if we are to aspire to sustainable
architecture. A2M aims now to develop selfsufficient buildings. ■
