Sustainable Home

Sustainability, by no means a passing trend, is the necessary direction that architecture will have to take in the near future. Driven by necessity,a s well as a progressive and daring spirit, many architects are branchong out into new, uncharted directions in designing efficient, autonomous energy sytems or in taking advantage of the properties in such high-tech materials as steel and glass for conserving energy.

The present volume offers a careful selection of new projects by emerging architects which provide an interesting panorama of languages and techniques applied to the rich and dynamic field of sustainable architecture.

All explanatory texts, floor plans and constructions details have been contributed by the architects themselves, makindg this a highly invaluable and up-to-date resource on the current state of sustainable design.
