Description
An outstanding and highly detailed survey of a wide selection of 20 projects which have been designed using sustainable parameters. Using a uniform analytical scheme and comprehensive graphic information, the book presents projects that are adapted to the particular climatic conditions of locations ranging from Australia to India, with particular emphasis on Spanish experiences. The end result is a holistic look at developments that approach widely differing briefs and environments by incorporating bioclimatic criteria from the project phase to materialise into high quality, comfortable buildings. The sectional detail is almost unrivalled - this title should be required reading.
