How can we apply constructive experiments in architecture as an innovative response to the climate crisis? The conference Constructive Disobedience was dedicated to addressing this question. Constructive Disobedience: An Experimental Methodology in Architecture compiles various projects and positions presented there, drawn from a wide range of practice, teaching and research cases. International projects include a prestressed rammed earth structure, studies on heterogeneous constructions, and the rediscovery of natural materials such as hemp and lime. Together, they form a methodological foundation that highlights the knowledge gained from experimental architecture for the coming era of building transformation.
