How can architecture create a pleasant indoor climate using construction techniques and as little technology
as possible? Researchers from four different departments at the
Technical University of Munich joined forces with the engineering firm
Transsolar Energietechnik to explore integral strategies for simple,
energy-efficient construction.

The architecture firm Florian
Nagler Architekten implemented the plans developed by the TUM project
for three prototype buildings made of solid wood, masonry and
lightweight concrete in monolithic construction. Using these apartment
buildings as examples, the guide vividly elucidates the six core
principles of simple construction.
