Book Description:
From the arid deserts of Tucson, Arizona to the icy forests
of Poori, Finland to the tropical beaches of New South Wales,
Australia to the urban jungle of downtown Manhattan, critics
Alanna Stang and Christopher Hawthorne have traveled to the
farthest reaches of the globe to find all that is new in the
design of sustainable, or "green," homes. The result: more
than thirty-five residences in fifteen countries -- and nearly
every conceivable natural environment -- designed by a
combination of star architects and heretofore unknown
practitioners. Six different climactic zones are presented in
The Green House -- waterfront, forest and mountain, tropical,
desert, suburban, and urban; there is also a section on mobile
dwellings. Each chapter features a series of homes that show
the diversity and possibility of sustainable design. Projects
are presented with large color images, plans, drawings, and an
accompanying text that describes their green features and
explains how they work with and in the environment. Architects
included: Santiago Calatrava, Shigeru Ban, Miller/Hull, Rick
Joy, Lake Flato, Kengo Kuma, Glenn Murcutt, Pugh & Scarpa,
Werner Sobek, and many others. The Green House is not only a
beautiful object in its own right, but is sure to be an
indispensable reference for anyone building or interested in
sustainable design -- and if you ask us, that should be everyone.
