«Green Architecture is the first book to provide a balanced international overview of the way forward. The authors contrast the present Western way of life in the built environment with the way it could be in the future, drawing on sustainable technologies that need not wait to be invented. To illustrate a green architecture, the authors examine a large number of case studies, […] Old as well as new structures are considered. Finally, since any green architecture must embrace the urban setting, the authors examine possible ground rules for a ‘green city’.»
