Description and Table of Contents

Description

Contemporary buildings are major contributors to the environmental crisis. In this book, curator and critic Peter Buchanan uses ten buildings that combine environmental responsibility and design excellence to argue that sustainability is not only good for the planet, but also offers architects new opportunities for creativity and innovation. Generously illustrated with four-colour photographs and plans, the book includes work by international architects including Norman Foster, Renzo Piano, and Herzog Partner.
