28 projects fully illustrated, little text,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Natural Flair: Maisons de Campagne/Landliche Hauser (Eco Architecture) (Paperback)
Each of 28 projects is described in 1 paragraph and its "green facts" are also in 1 paragraph. There is 1 excellent illustration per page on average. Most of the illustrations are photos, but some projects are also variously presented on floor plan (s), section(s), elevation(s), site plan, plan w/ position of the sun, energy diagram, or thermal diagram for summer day/-winter night. The printing is of high quality on really lousy paper.
