Résumé:
In today's changing world, architects and engineers must address issues of sustainability when designing buildings, homes and urban developments. Through groundbreaking architecture, innovative urban planning and social engagement, the awareness of how sustainable architecture can make an environmental impact are becoming increasingly grounded in public consciousness. Like its successful predecessor, Architecture of Change: Edition 2010 presents an unrivaled collection of the most innovative architecture projects that make a considerable contribution to a brighter future. Over forty exemplary projects by internationally renowned architecture practices such as Pritzker Architecture Prize winners Renzo Piano and OMA founder Rem Koolhaas are profiled with the newly built California Academy of Sciences and the master plan for a wind farm in the North Sea. From a zero emission ice station facility in Antarctica to the High Line public promenade in Manhattan, the book represents a broad range of environmentally mindful concepts that are not only outstanding in their architectural form but are also devoted to regional environmental and social conditions as well as their global impact.
