Understanding Sustainable Architecture

Understanding Sustainable Architecture By Helen Bennetts
Publisher: Taylor & Francis | ISBN: 0415283515 | edition 2002 | PDF | 144 pages | 5 mb

Understanding Sustainable Architecture is a concise review of the assumptions, beliefs, goals and bodies of knowledge that underlie the endeavor to design environmentally sustainable buildings and other built environments. The authors set out a coherent framework within which they discuss the important ethical, cultural, and conceptual issues of sustainable architecture. Through a series of self-reflective questions, the importance of ecological, social, and built contexts is argued, and problem framing is linked to succesful practice.
