Description and Table of Contents
Description
Sustainable Architecture shows how the building methods of modern technology have depleted the world's resources in both the First and Third Worlds--and what architects can do to change their way of building and safeguard our common future. Using case studies of environmentally sensitive design and construction from around the world, the author delineates "green" solutions to design problems that are both economically feasible and ecologically responsible. The first book to spell out architecture's impact on sustainable development around the world, Sustainable Architecture will become a classic of its kind.
