Description
Ecodesign demonstrates why our current approach to design and perception of architecture in general must now change radically if our planet is to have a sustainable future. All artefacts, from buildings to everyday household products, have some environmental impact and can be viewed as potential waste.
Ken Yeang argues for an integrative design process, and shows how it can be achieved. This book gives easy-to-follow instructions, accompanied by numerous illustrations on how to design, build, manufacture and use green sustainable architecture and products.
