ArchitectureWeek Description Saving the environment from continued devastation by our built environment is the single most important issue for our future, and Ken Yeang shows how it can be done. He argues for adopting the environmentalist’s view of a building as an assembly of materials, transported over long distances, concentrated in a single locality, with a footprint that affects that locality’s ecology. This detailed manual offers clear instructions on how to design, build, and use a sustainable, eco-sensitive architecture. Amazon Customer Average Rating:  Some Related Books...
