Description

Sustainability, by no means a passing trend, is the necessary direction that architecture will have to take in the near future.

This publication, illustrated with full colour photographs throughout, contains explanatory texts, floor plans and construction details contributed by the architects themselves, making it a highly invaluable and up to date resource on the current state of sustainable design.

Driven through necessity, many architects are branching out into new directions in designing efficient, autonomous energy systems or in taking advantage of the properties of sustainable materials such as timber for conserving energy and reducing their carbon footprint.
