Author Description

A virtual atlas of “architectural biodiversity,” this beautifully designed and gorgeously illustrated anthology of architecture's greenest gems documents the innovative creations of pioneers across the globe who build in harmony with the earth. From superlative examples of what might be called “conscious architecture,” to domiciles that have “gone native,” as well as gleaming, futuristic structures of glass and steel with ingenious climate-control schemes and zero or even negative energy requirements, this forward-looking volume will inspire and fascinate.
