A twenty-first century renaissance is emerging in architecture.
After a century of building designs characterized by high energy
demand, low quality lighting and poor thermal comfort, the
fundamental questions must be asked again: is there a better path
to designing the most energy efficient, comfortable, functional and
beautiful buildings for a sustainable future? While seeking
solutions for the future, are there lessons to be learned from the
best buildings of the past? Sustainable Building Design explores
outstanding buildings and building designs of the twenty-first
century, with an emphasis on the artistry of masters of
architecture who came before. By dissecting and analyzing great
public buildings of the nineteenth and twenty-first centuries,
materials, techniques, and methods are discovered. This book
presents the reader with clues and suggestions that will reveal the
secrets of these buildings and by doing so provides the reader with
a thorough understanding of how these architectural masterpieces
work. Using photographs, drawings, sections, plans and diagrams
which are painstakingly redrawn for consistency and clarity based
on a wide range of documentation, Vidar Lerum compares works of
architecture from the nineteenth and twenty-first centuries. The
reader is presented with a careful analysis of each building,
providing a compelling sourcebook of ideas for students and
professional architects alike.
