Product Description
This is the first comprehensive guide to the state-of-the-art in green design. This one-of-a-kind collection of "green" writings - from seminal figures such as Paolo Soleri and Buckminster Fuller, to unsung pioneers of alternative materials and experimental methods, to experts around the world - makes possible for the first time a grand overview of ecological design in architecture and planning. It's also an unparalleled source of much-needed inspiration, job-simplifying details, and how-to's for the real-world structures and plans that are an everyday part of your work.
Book Description
This is the first comprehensive reference to the many aspects of ecological design in architecture, planning, and landscape architecture. The current thinking of the leading experts is brought to bear on issues ranging from alternative energy sources to construction technologies, from permaculture to urban design. More importantly, the range of topics, both "hardware" such as photovoltaics and wind towers and "software" such as design aesthetics, are integrated into the broad scope of what ecological design is, how it can be incorporated into the built environment, and how it can inform the design aesthetic.
