In the architecture world, sustainability has evolved from an
optional feature into an urgent necessity. Now in paperback, this
publication presents 25 building projects from around the world
that range from a nursery to an office skyscraper, from a medical
centre to an artist's residence, public buildings and private
homes. Sustainability no longer refers just to the economy,
resources, recyclable materials, renewable energy and
eco-friendliness; its definition now extends to informed design at
every turn, leveraging the characteristics of the location, local
history and local traditions, fostering short supply chains and
assessing the long-term impact that new constructions will have. In
doing so, this book illustrates environmentally-friendly
construction projects and the current social and economic impact of
this industry, considering not only the health of our planet but
also the impact of architecture on people and the way we live.
Featuring large-scale high-quality photographs and images of
construction details plus drawings, sections, sketches and exploded
isometrics, this volume includes a meticulous selection of
