Summary:

"Architecture and the Environment brings together forty-four recently completed buildings from around the world which exemplify the best in environmentally sensitive architecture. 'Green' architecture is commonly viewed as separate from mainstream architecture, and accorded the status of worthy, but dull design. David Lloyd Jones seeks to correct this judgement, adopting 'bioclimatic' in preference to 'Green" as the term to describe buildings which are inspired by nature and have a clear strategy for minimizing environmental depredation. He reveals how environmental and energy-conserving measures should be intrinsic considerations in the design of any building."--BOOK JACKET.
