Innovation of Nothing - The capabilities needed to lead sustainable change in the built environment

Innovation of Nothing is a book concerned with the overwhelming challenges our planet faces and the potential of the built environment to contribute solutions. Usually, when we try to solve challenges, we apply new technology, add materials, or produce new products. This book investigates strategies for addressing sustainability challenges by applying less – through models of subtraction, simplification and reduction.

Through a series of strategic concepts, perspective articles and exemplifying case studies, this book investigates the capabilities and roles needed among stakeholders in the built environment to lead these solutions from idea to market – and thereby to lead them from potential to actual change in the built environment.
