Book Description
The world stands on the brink of an environmental crisis
and the scale of the problem is daunting. But if everyone
played their part, the cumulative benefit to the environment
would be far-reaching. And where better to start than in
our own homes? A must-have reference book with the most
up-to-date information, plus inspirational photographs,
Eco proves that sustainability in the home is both
achievable and beautiful.
In the first part, Design, Elizabeth Wilhide focuses on the
fundamentals to be considered, whether you are planning home
improvements or building a house from scratch. These include
siting, construction, energy efficiency, water and waste,
gardening, and landscaping. Fifteen case studies demonstrate
how architects from around the world have tackled these
issues and succeeded in creating sustainable yet aspirational,
liveable homes.
The second part, Surfaces and Finishes, provides an
illustrated directory of the materials and surface finishes
that are available to the eco-conscious homeowner, ranging
from wood, bamboo, paper, and natural fibers to stone,
linoleum, glass, metal, recycled plastic, and concrete.
Finally, In Practice offers strategies for eco-living that
deliver maximum benefit with minimal changes of lifestyle.
These are strategies--reducing consumption, repairing rather
than replacing, recycling wherever possible--that everyone can
adopt, whatever sort of home you live in.
Whether you follow Eco to the letter or adopt a more piecemeal
approach, you can relax in the knowledge that every little bit
counts. You will enjoy lower fuel bills and fewer
allergy-related illnesses, but above all, you will be helping
to make the world a healthier place for future generations.

The Green Building Bottom Line
By Martin Melaver, Phyllis Mueller
Publisher: McGraw-Hill Professional
Number Of Pages: 384
Publication Date: 2008-10-31
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0071599215
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780071599214
Product Description:
What are the real costs and real benefits of building green?
As any builder knows, cost estimation and reality are often
two very different things. The Green Building Bottom Line makes
the case for green building by providing the insights and data
that demonstrate the true costs and benefits of building green.
It's a “why to” and a “how to” that explores everything from
the ground up. The Green Building Bottom Line puts an entire
development team at the table to better understand both the
issues encountered and what's behind the perceived price premium
for building green. This candid and transparent account explores
every aspect of green development on groundbreaking projects,
from the nation's first all-retail LEED core and shell project
to an innovative multitenanted LEED-Existing Buildings office
project, to a mixed-use hotel-retail-condo project in a
transitional urban market. The authors focus on such issues as
values, culture, life-cycle costs, insurance, financing,
coordinating a team, marketing, and negotiating leases.

Book Description:
"This may seem a specialized study of a minority group in
Southeast China--whose partially transcribed language he
learnt while studying their buildings--yet Xing Ruan has
used this marvelous miniature to illuminate the complex
relation between many other societies, their daily life,
their rituals and ceremonies, and their buildings. But the
book is much more. Xing Ruan extrapolates from his miniature
a timely and very important reminder of how building and
behavior interweave and how essential some understanding
of that complex and vital relation must be for the future
of the built environment." --Joseph Rykwert, Paul Philippe

Language: English
ISBN-10: 3764376155
ISBN-13: 978-3764376154
Book Description
Duisburg-Nord Landscape Park in Germany, the Plateau de
Kirchberg in Luxembourg, Parco Dora in Turin, Italy and
numerous other projects designed and built by Peter Latz
and Partners stand as examples of an up-to-date and
intelligent approach to alternative environmental
technologies and the reclamation of extensive industrial
landscapes. In Peter Latz’s landscape architecture,
ecological and social concerns are translated into an
individual aesthetic language that aims to achieve a
timeless quality. The different layers and meanings of the
sites rich in history are revealed and woven into networks
of spatial and temporal relationships that follow rules of
their own – the syntax of landscape. A sense of process
and dynamism in sustainable landscape structures
characterises the works, works that are open for change:
they are spaces in development, not parks as finite set
pieces.

ISBN-10 / ASIN: 159726136X

Book Description:
Americans are voting with their feet to abandon strip malls
and suburban sprawl, embracing instead a new type of
community where they can live, work, shop, and play within
easy walking distance. In The Option of Urbanism visionary
developer and strategist Christopher B. Leinberger explains
why government policies have tilted the playing field toward
one form of development over the last sixty years: the
drivable suburb. Rooted in the driving forces of the
economy—car manufacturing and the oil industry—this type of
growth has fostered the decline of community, contributed to
urban decay, increased greenhouse gas emissions, and
contributed to the rise in obesity and asthma.

Kengo Kuma - Selected Works

Publication Date: 2005-04-07
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 1568984596
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9781568984599
Book Description:
Evanescent. Restrained. Ethereal. These are some of the words
used to describe the architecture of Kengo Kuma, one of the
most heralded of a new generation of Japanese architects. A
recent article in Architecture writes of Kuma that "he strives
to give his buildings the qualities of a rainbow, composed of
shimmering particles, more illusion than object, that change as
you look at them." Increasingly the focus of international
renown, Kuma's work is characterized by a delicate simplicity
and minimalism, incorporating a wide range of ephemeral
transparencies. Their ineffable vibrancy is achieved largely by
the extensive and skillful use of screens: metal, wooden, bamboo,
and even stone louvers or slates, as well as paper, plastic, and
glass surfaces or membranes. His use of new, sophisticated, and
efficient technologies, his sensitivity to site, and his attention
to the ecological and prevailing social context of his work are
all explored in Kengo Kuma: Selected Works, the first full-length
monograph on the work of this enormous talent. Included are all of
Kuma's most recent projects, including the Museum of Ando Hiroshige,
the Stone Museum, the Horai Onsen Bath House in Atami, Louis
Vuitton Tokyo Headquarters, and the Nagasaki Prefectural Museum.
Kengo Kuma: Selected Works is an essential addition to the l
ibrary of anyone interested in the best contemporary architecture.

and landscape architects, of a more informal, almost
exploratory, nature. In Gardens examines more than thirty
of the most influential recent landscape projects in the
United Kingdom, the Netherlands, France, Spain, Denmark,
Germany, and Switzerland, and from designers like Kathryn
Gustafson, Dani Karavan, and Charles Jencks. In the
process, this panoramic book illuminates a new paradigm
of garden design in Europe and provides a fount of
inspiration for landscape designers everywhere.

FOBA - Buildings
By Katsu Umebayashi, Thomas Daniell, Michael Webb
Publisher: Princeton Architectural Press
Number Of Pages: 224
Publication Date: 2005-09-08
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 1568985274
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9781568985275
Book Description:
Pure. Minimal. Simple. These are the words commonly used to
describe the work of contemporary Japanese architects. FOBA,
an internationally celebrated architectural practice based in
Kyoto, looks beyond the aesthetics of minimalism, instead
finding inspiration in the relationships between structure and
site. FOBA: Buildings, the first monograph on the decade-old
firm, features ten projects of surprising range: undulating
lines, overlapping cubes, interpenetrating forms, and unexpected
pairings demonstrate a varied set of approaches to projects. The
work is at times boldly expressionistic, and at others refreshingly
austere. The book also chronicles the FOB Homes system-a FOBA
subsidiary company established in 1999-a uniquely creative response
to the generic mass-produced pre-fabricated housing available in
Japan. With five basic prototypes that can be easily adapted to any
site or client, FOB Homes redefines the concept of standardized
housing. Their simple, neutral white boxes counter the visual chaos
of contemporary Japan and offer the elegance and experience of
"architecture" to the general public-a union of modernist aesthetics
with the modernist ideology of democratic, affordable design.
Together, FOBA and FOB Homes offers a look into the architecture of
tomorrow. FOBA: Buildings will be an inspirational sourcebook of
ideas for those interested in innovative architecture with humane
ideals.
