"In the architecture world, sustainability has evolved from an optional feature into an urgent necessity. 'Sustainable architecture' presents 22 projects that range from a nursery and an office skyscraper to a medical centre, an artists' residence and privare homes. Featuring large, high-quality photographs and images of construction details, as well as drawings, sections, sketches and exploded isometrics, it is a rigorous selection of contemporary architecture works produced by innovative international architecture firms. 'Sustainable architecture' reveals the different connections between the planning and construction phases of a project, which reflect the joint efforts of architects, designers and builders to transform an industry that plays a key role in environmental conservation processes. In doing so, this volume provides an illustration of environmentally friendly construction and the social and economic impact that this industry currently has."--P. [4] of cover.
