Produktbeschreibung
The transition from green to sustainable requires new tools for thinking, new descriptors that reflect both the mitigation of impact and resilience to adverse change. A number of recently completed projects from across Asia go beyond the current conventions of greening. Individually, they speak to the diversity of this wide and varied region; collectively, they illustrate six principles that could together form a path to sustainability. Author Nirmal Kishnani details more than 30 projects in photos, drawings and texts, demonstrating the rise of long-term, locally-oriented and community-specific solutions in architectural practice, from Bangladesh to the Philippines and from Vietnam to Taiwan.
