How green is your blueprint?: Architecture as sustainable technology
The ecological impact of new construction, once a secondary concern,
has become a crucial issue. 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 features the architects,
artists and firms pioneering a new green architecture, and examines the emergent esthetics.
