ArchitectureWeek Description Documentation of ten buildings that illustrate how environmental responsibility promises to reinvigorate contemporary architecture. The author argues that sustainability is not just good for the planet but offers architects new opportunities for creativity and innovation. Through a range of building types, he demonstrates that increased awareness of a building's setting combined with advances in technology create unlimited opportunities for responsive design.
