Sustainable luxury : the new Singapore House, solutions for a livable future / Paul McGillick ; photography by Masano Kawana. by McGillick, Paul, author. Tokyo : North Clarendon, VT : Tuttle Publishing, c2014. Subjects Architecture, Domestic -- Singapore.   Ecological houses -- Singapore.   Sustainable architecture -- Singapore.

Requests:  0 Summary:  Singapore is celebrated as one of the most livable cities in Asia, and "Sustainable Luxury" shows how the prosperous, forward-looking nation is pioneering innovative solutions for environmental, economic, social, and cultural issues faced the world over. Dr. Paul McGillick, the author of The Sustainable Asian House (Tuttle, 2013), presents twenty-seven recent residential projects created by Singapore's most talented architects to address the many complex and interconnected aspects of sustainability. Some of the homes featured here emphasize environmental needs, while others are concerned with preserving cultural traditions or supporting societal and interpersonal needs--such as extended family dwellings. Each residence, however, exhibits solutions developed from a holistic point of view. These homes typically embrace the tropical climate rather than fight it, and illustrate how smart manipulation of air flows, light, shade, water, and landscaping sustain higher levels of comfort without resorting to air-conditioning. In addition to profiling individual residences, "Sustainable Luxury" looks at the big picture, canvassing the most pressing issues--including changing demographics and lifestyles--and examining the available solutions. Anyone concerned with the future of our world will be fascinated by the houses presented here and the ways in which Singapore is leading the way in the development of residential architecture that is as luxurious as it is sustainable.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Kapaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 728.37095 Mc Checked In Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 728.37095 Mc Checked In Add Copy to MyList
