Bookworm’s delight — never bore, always excite!

When is a house ecological? Does the use of natural materials and solar cells on the roof make a building an example of "green" architecture? Perhaps even Antoni Gaudí and Frank Lloyd Wright designed "greener" buildings than most contemporary architects, whose low-energy houses scarcely differ outwardly from traditional ones.

James Wines puts up the various - and often irreconcilable - concepts of environmentally-friendly architecture for discussion, making a case for an architecture that not only focuses on technological solutions but also tries to reconcile man and nature in its formal idiom. Among the examples of contemporary ecological architecture presented are works by Emilio Ambasz, Gustav Peichl, Arthur Quarmby, Jean Nouvel, Sim Van der Ryn, Jourda and Perraudin, Log ID, James Cutler, Stanley Saitowitz, François Roche, Nigel Coates and Michael Sorkin.

How green is your blueprint? Architecture as sustainable technology

The ecological impact of new construction, once a secondary concern, has become a crucial issue in recent years. Badly designed buildings guzzle natural resources and pollute their surroundings. In an era of rocketing energy costs and environmental degradation, the need for a sustainable, energy-efficient architecture is paramount. This book examines the emergent innovations, aesthetics, and pioneers of green architecture, including such artists, architects and firms as Tadao Ando, Shigeru Ban, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, Zaha Hadid, Morphosis, and many more.

Sustainability meets chic. Building a better, more beautiful future for our planet

Green architecture used to be on the fringes, but it has gone mainstream and this new volume shows how, why, and where. This is not a technical handbook, but rather a guided tour from one end of the globe to another where sustainability has become both chic and indispensible. Solar panels and double glazing are taking a dent out of the high cost of energy.

As always in the Architecture Now books, you can discover the latest realizations of established stars like Peter Zumthor and Bernard Tschumi, but also catch up on the rising new generation of architects, from Korea to Vietnam, from Los Angeles to Berlin. Green Architecture Now! 2 is the only place where a tunnel of flower pots by Olafur Eliasson and a Waste to Energy plant with a ski slope on top by BIG come together with a bang.

The sustainable city of the XXI century must be a city designed with consideration of environmental impact, inhabited by people dedicated to minimizing energy requirements, food and water and waste disposal, heat and pollution. Knowing these conditions, the landscape architects can provide clues to enable to discover alternative development options that will become the best overall result for the environment. It is the urban ecosystem, which focuses on the knowledge of how cities function as ecological environments, in order to develop sustainable approaches to problems and reduce the impact on both the streets and squares and in the suburbs of large cities.

Sustainability has become one of the most important words and objectives in the last years. Eco-friendly and eco-friendly produced products are being hyped, especially if they are well designed. Green Design encompasses products from vastly different areas of life representing different aspects of environmentally friendly and sustainable design.

This book presents around 100 products that are not only "Green", but also "Design": beautiful and functional everyday objects that qualify through certain principles of environmental sustainability. These include environmentally friendly resources, production and disposal, energy efficient or energy self-sufficient use as well as fair production.

Children should have their own space in the house because it is where they spend most of their leisure, rest, study time, and where they develop their creativity...

This book showcases some of the most exciting and innovative environmentally-friendly products for creating wonderful living spaces for children. Children spend such a large amount of their time at home - study, rest, and play - that having a space of their own, where they can develop their creativity and sense of self, is extremely important. It is in this space we can begin to inform children of the value of the environment and sustainability.

Green Design for Kids is a magnificently illustrated volume that showcases how recycled, eco-friendly, and bio-degradable materials can be used to create innovative, practical, and stimulating products for children and their spaces the live in.

"Green" architecture is not only beautiful but imperative, making this volume indispensable for anyone interested in sustainable design.

This book is the most thorough overview to be published on environmentally sound building and planning practices and includes project descriptions, photographs, and detailed drawings that demonstrate that sustainability is not just good for the planet, but also offers new opportunities for creativity and innovation.

Beginning with a survey of evolving strategies to step more lightly on the earth, like "graywater" recovery, green roofs, contextual design, and human-scale architecture, the book features essays by such noted experts as Andres Duany, Victor Deupi, Bruce King, Stephen A. Mouzon, and Norman Crowe.

Green homes are often thought of as offering little by way of an attractive appearance; this book shows how this is not necessarily the case. It explains the application of measures to save energy, water and resources in a family home for a more environmentally-aware public without compromising on style. Illustrated throughout with full colour photographs and floor plans of dream homes which conform to 21st ecological requirements.

Sustainability is at the core of LPA’s work and company culture. Sustainable design practised at LPA is an integrated ‘holistic’ process that is treated no different than any other program element.

This book documents a process of planning, design, construction and operations of K–12 schools where appropriate sustainable solutions can be a part of every school regardless of budget or program. Through an extensive step-by-step planning and design process and a series of built case studies, all stakeholders in the school planning process will see how an integrated holistic process can achieve sustainable goals that are in balance with budget and other constraints.

Case studies cover renovations and new construction that are at the forefront of a considerable change in the culture of school planning – a change from added cost to added value. Sharing the success of these schools will ensure that there are thousands of sustainable schools in our future for the next generation of students.
