Green Architecture: An Illustrated Handbook

The book proposes a journey from the outside to the inside: it begins with the site and its surroundings, continues through las various envelopes of the building, and ends with the analysis of the environmental aspects of lighting, heating or air conditioning systems. A tour where different cross-cutting issues are explored, such as saving water or materials, indoor environmental quality or the use of renewable energies. The set offers a complete and methodical exploration of ecological architecture by exposing the key themes, a basic theoretical framework and concrete strategies for designing under the paradigm of sustainability.
