Seller's Description
GREEN ARCHITECTURE by James Wines.
What makes a "green" house? Are ecological materials and solar panels on roof tops the only signs of an environmental architecture? Or were the designs of Antoni Gaudi and Frank Lloyd Wright even "greener" than the buildings of most contemporary archtects, whose energy-efficient houses do not differ isibly from traditional modernist architecture? In his book, James Wines discusses the various - and often irreconcilable - concepts of ecologcal architecture, and pleads for a design that not onlt calls for technological solutions but also longs to reconcile man and nature by aesthetic means.
The contemporary buildings featured cover the wide range of environmental architecture: organically and technologically orientated buildings as well as integrative buildings that are rooted in landscapes or urban contexts, designed by 38 prominent archtects including Emilio Ambasz, Nigel Coates, Charles Jencks, Jean Nouvel, Renzo pian, and Antoine Predock.
