Sustaining Architecture in the Anti-Machine Age,
By
This review is from: Sustaining Architecture in the Anti-machine Age (Paperback)
--------------------------------
Sustaining Architecture in the Anti-Machine Age In this age of ever-increasing environmental awareness, the issue of sustainability is set to become the dominant factor in architectual design. At a time when, like most professions, architectual practice is increasingly governed by legal guidelines and requirements, competing policy demands require architects to aim for economic, socila and environmental sustainability whilst also trying to effect social progress. Sustaining Architecture asks whether these two ambitions can be reconciled. Featuring contributions from architects, journalists, academics and legal consultants, the book takes a balanced look at the subject, giving the full range of sometimes opposing views. - - FROM BACK OF BOOK - - ----------------------------------
