Description

At a certain time, 'green' buildings were ugly and complicated affairs, usually multicolored as though an entire rainbow in one building might be sufficient to prove a concern for ecology. This book features buildings that show that this is no longer the case. Well-known architects from Tadao Ando to Thom Mayne figure in the book, but so too do many others that are far less famous today, but perhaps the stars of tomorrow. Find out who is making today's architecture go green in a big way.
