“Green Design: From Theory to Practice” is a unique discussion of the
issues surrounding sustainability, environmental responsibility and the
use of natural resources becoming unavoidable. The book looks at what
Green Design actually entails and how this can be implemented within
today’s architectural practice.
This reader scrutinises the
pressing questions that designers must confront today, looking at the
need to comply to green accreditation systems, but also at the wider and
often over-looked implications of building design. Green Design looks
in-depth at the way we use buildings, distribution systems of energy,
transportation, manufacturing and the food industries, and ultimately at
the way we lead our lives, to evaluate and address the true meaning of
Green Design and the real causes underpinning today’s environmental
crisis.
The contributors each bring their own thoughts and
questions on how to improve sustainable design, how important it is and
how it can be enforced. These discussions are given a contemporary
relevance through the inclusion of the work of contemporary architects,
artists, writers and commentators.
