Book Description
This timely and incisive book offers the first truly comprehensive framework for designing buildings that work with nature. Presenting a compelling case for ecological design, it provides architects and designers with a full understanding of the impact that their built works have on the natural environment, as well as what can be done to mitigate the damage to a building site and its natural resources. Featuring illuminating case examples of some of the world's most ecologically comprehensive building designs, readers will see how to use such innovative methods as low-energy and bioclimatic design, recycling and siposal of materials, ecological land-use planning, natural resource management, and selecting long-life, low-maintenance building materials in order to design "low-environmental-impact" buildings.
