Description

Sustainability is the necessary trend in architecture, and projects like these are stepping forward to greet the challenge. These are the very latest, finest, pioneering examples of work done in sustainable architecture in America. Gorgeous full-colour photographs and exhaustive commentary contributed by the designing studios create a volume as rich in information as it is in aesthetics.

Here, particular emphasis has been placed on the materials and techniques employed, such as standard building materials ingeniously reworked and unconventional but ecological solutions such as bamboo, paper and even bottles and tyres. With 23 case studies of projects by the likes of Rick Joy Architects, Pugh + Scarpa and Rural Studio, this is an absolutely indispensable analysis of sustainable architecture.
