Résumé:
In "The philosophy of sustainable design", McLennan outlines the major ideas and issues that have emerged in the growing movement of green architecture and sustainable design over the last thirty years. This book is intended as a starting point for anyone involved in the building industry on a journey to learn how they can build more responsibly. The book is rooted in practical knowledge but rather than being a ‘howto book’ asks individuals to understand how the philosophy of sustainable design can affect their own work. McLennan relies on his extensive experience with sustainable design having consulted to dozens of projects and design teams all over the Unites State. With foreword by Bob Berkebile.

Résumé:
"The ecological engineer" is a new book series that celebrates the most innovative engineers in North America and the practices and principles that they use to produce structures, systems and technologies, in a way that embraces the emerging philosophy of sustainable design. Organized into three critical sections – practice, principles and projects – the book provides a valuable resource and touchstone for engineers, architects and other building professionals who hope to embrace an ethic that is responsible to both people and the environment. "Volume one: keen engineering" focuses on the work of one of the sustainable MEP firms in North America – KEEN Engineering. As mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineers who work on projects all over the continent, they have consistently been inspiring on multiple levels – as a company, as individuals and just by the sheer volume and quality of their work.

Résumé:
Since 1992 and the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, the concept of sustainability has been the focus of attention in the building industry and architecture. It requires the use of intelligent technology, innovative construction, ecological materials, and an environmental approach to energy supply. This development is especially urgent in the area of residential housing. People increasingly insist on a healthy indoor climate, natural moisture exchange, thermal comfort, and an absence of hazardous substances. The book provides extensive and technically detailed documentation of 25 sustainable residential structures in both the high-tech and low-tech domain. There is a considerable variety among the individual projects in terms of their size and the materials used. The examples are chosen from 18 different countries on five continents and come from both rural regions and urban areas.

Résumé:
“The Mexican Roof”, built as an architectural signal for an organisation promoting sustainable agriculture, is one of the few examples where a very ambitious project, conceived in the architecture design studio at the University of Applied Arts Vienna, has been successfully translated into reality. Executed by the students themselves in a remote province in Mexico it is basically a roof made out of bamboo that shelters the new community from the sun and collects water, the basis of any kind of growth. It is a conspicuous landmark that also serves very practical functions. The book presents the building process in Mexico starting with the finished roof and going back in time as well, an index that lists the various notions of the conceptual work in Vienna. Special attention is given to a specific method of teaching that encourages students to go for their visions, even if difficult, by providing methods, experience and determination necessary to solve the problems associated with this endeavour.

Résumé:
The book promotes an interdisciplinary research approach operating in a field between architecture, easthetics, philosophy and urban ecology. The book propagates a break with the environmental requirements in construction have a tendency to derail any trace of architectonic quality. "Ecological reflections in architecture" inverts this perspective, since the environmental ways of presenting the problem are regarded from an architectonic point of view; the book takes its point of view of departure in architecture. Based on a doctoral thesis and on an investigative work at Danish Building Research Institute.

Résumé:
The Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia investigates global projects for sustainable development on the cutting edge of self-sufficient housing, addressing environmental, economic and social needs. The projects investigate construction techniques and processes to build houses with local means, from the intelligent application of traditional techniques to advanced digital processes and fabrication. This book is a fascinating compilation of the most innovative projects for single dwellings and residential buildings, proposing the most creative designs and construction through the use of new materials and energy systems, and the integration of architecture into the landscape. Based in Barcelona, the IAAC is an international centre of architectural research in territorial analysis, urban development, digital fabrications and informational environments for improving cultural, economic and social conditions.

Résumé:
Longtemps rêvée, l'architecture solaire est devenue réalité. Les 49 réalisations présentées dans ce livre, toutes issues de la onzième session du concours Habitat Solaire Habitat d'Aujourd'hui, montrent avec brio comment il est aujourd'hui possible de conjuguer efficacité énergétique et qualité architecturale. Tous équipés de systèmes solaires thermiques et/ou photovoltaïques aux performances avérées, les bâtiments sélectionnés-maisons individuelles, logements collectifs et bâtiments tertiaires-se caractérisent par l'attention portée aux principes de conception bioclimatique, au choix des matériaux (ossature bois, Monomur...) et à la qualité de l'isolation, de la ventilation et de l'éclairage. Un ouvrage qui séduira aussi bien les architectes et professionnels du bâtiment, que les maîtres d'ouvrage et particuliers à la recherche de retours d'expérience. Ces derniers apprécieront tout particulièrement les fiches techniques détaillant les coûts et les ratios de consommation énergétique.
