Lavishly illustrated with full-color photographs, drawings,
floor and aerial plans, “The Sourcebook of Contemporary Green Architecture”
features today's most noteworthy environmentally-friendly architectural
projects. Comprehensive chapters account for the core concerns of all
architectural projects (the needs of architects, clients and partners, as well
as logistical area and cost management concerns, and energy management), while
allowing readers a hands-on understanding of what it takes to envision, create,
and develop an environmentally-conscious master plan, building, or landscape
design.
Featured projects exhibit a range of sustainable design
ideas from bioclimatic strategies to more complex off-the-grid constructions
that include passive designs, prefab systems, water-harvesting mechanisms, and
green renovations. Projects include building eco-certifications and eco-design
solutions to utilize advanced technologies, and both "cost management
plans" as well as plans geared toward more lax budgets are featured. All
projects included in “The Sourcebook of Contemporary Green Architecture” have
been completed or are ongoing in the 21st century and were chosen as highly
successful examples of green architects meeting the individual needs and tastes
of their clients. It is the perfect resource for architects, city-planners,
engineers, and designers to find the knowledge and inspiration to carry us into
a "green" architectural future.
