Non-renewable and increasingly scarce natural resources have necessitated a totally new approach to the use of building materials. This book looks at enterprising contemporary architects who have realized this, and are creating innovative designs that take into account the use of alternative energies, adaptation to climatic factors, vegetation and recycling. This book argues that these designs represent a return to nature and a respect for the balance of the ecosystem. Each proposal is accompanied by a large number of photographs, construction details and plans.

This review is from: Sustainable Architecture: Lowtech Houses (Hardcover)
i did not care for this book, there was not much useful info. A lot of pretty pic, possible good coffee-table book. If your looking for knowledge this is not the book for you. there are many other good sustainable books out there, that are sold by amazon. This just isn't one of them.
