L’Invention constructive face à la norme by Stéphane Berthier

“…Although the studies conducted for this project reveal significant and conclusive research into risk management equivalence, they resulted in an increased use of fire protection layers and sophisticated construction techniques, both of which have a negative impact on its carbon footprint. Furthermore, by focusing exclusively on the definition of architecture’s material elements, this project ignores modern regulatory comfort requirements, which have a greater impact on a building's carbon footprint than its entire superstructure. …”
