Description

Where the grass really is greener: Eco-friendly building in the world today The most exciting new buildings in the world are now almost all environmentally aware, sustainable, and conceived to consume far less energy than ever before.

That architecture is one of the major sources of greenhouse gases in the world makes this new trend all the more significant.

This book brings the best examples of green projects from the Architecture Now! series together with numerous new, never-seen-before projects.

Well-known architects like Frank Gehry and Norman Foster are present right alongside young, up-and-coming creators from Latin America, the United States, Europe, and Asia.

This is not a technical book, nor are its contents limited to any predefined category.

Being "green" means being aware of the responsibility implied in the construction and use of modern buildings, and there are many ways to express this rising consciousness.

Some solutions, the ones generally called "passive," are as old as the history of architecture, while others are born of cutting-edge technologies.

Both approaches and many more are included in this groundbreaking collection of 100 of the world's most innovative and recent eco-friendly buildings.
