Architecture and the Environment: Bioclimatic Building Design
Sustainable building has commonly been seen as separate from mainstream architecture and has been accorded the status of worthy but dull design. Adopting the term "bioclimatic" in preference to "green" to describe buildings which are inspired by nature and have a clear strategy for minimizing environmental depredation, this book seeks to revise this judgement.;Introductory chapters trace the history of bioclimatic design in architecture, exploring the relationship between architecture and the natural environment.
