Format:Paperback
This book is a lovely partner to Urban Style (Eco Architecture) and both provide good details on a number of projects including architectural drawings, graphics, basic 'green info', and excellent photography. A well-produced book recommended for anyone interested in green homes, whether as a prospective client or architect of this type of building or for general interest.

28 projects fully illustrated, little text
10 Feb 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Each of 28 projects is described in 1 paragraph and its "green facts" are also in 1 paragraph. There is 1 excellent illustration per page on average. Most of the illustrations are photos, but some projects are also variously presented on floor plan (s), section(s), elevation(s), site plan, plan w/ position of the sun, energy diagram, or thermal diagram for summer day/-winter night. The printing is of high quality on really lousy paper.
