Résumé

Sustainability is without a doubt the future of architecture. Driven by necessity, as well as by a progressive and daring spirit, many architects are branching out in uncharted directions, designing efficient, autonomous energy systems or taking advantage of the properties in high-tech materials such as steel and glass for conserving energy. This volume is a careful selection of new projects by emerging architects which provide an interesting panorama of languages and techniques applied to the rich and dynamic field of sustainable architecture. This is an invaluable and up-to-date resource on current sustainable design.
