Editorial Reviews
Review
In Towards Sustainable Architecture, Brian Edwards explains the new responsibilities and opportunities for architects emanating from environmental laws, especially those which derive from Euro-directives. The practice of architecture is increasingly constrained by new legislation aimed at protecting the environment and the consumer, mainly the result of directives from the European Commission. The broadening of environmental controls, entailing desirable 'green' principles, means that questions of environmental assessment, impact on ecosystems or heritage sites, energy use, safety requirements and environmental audits have become part of the daily life or architecture. Towards Sustainable Architecture is an essential reference book wherein Edwards and a team of expert contributors set out the important principles which may assist in the practice of architecture. -- Midwest Book Review
