Résumé:

"The general approach of this book is to look at particular building environments within Japan and the challenges of climate and site that required the architects of Nikken Sekkei to create certain design solutions across a spectrum of ten major building projects. The book also contains a section concerning the results of research into analytical methods and the technologies used in the design of sustainable buildings." "The sustainable architecture described in this book represents a body of viable, creative, and considered responses developed for specific buildings, each situated in a particular physical environment presenting a unique set of problems to be resolved." "This book was conceived as a celebratory emblem of Nikken Sekkei's first centennial. Similar to the universal spirit that permeates sustainable design, the book's creation extends far beyond the borders of its country of origin. It is the product of designers, engineers, architects, translators, academic researchers, scientific consultants and editors from Japan, England, Switzerland, and the USA. America's most prominent sustainable architect, William McDonough, was invited to participate in the introduction."--Jacket.
