Environmentally responsible building around the world today

Today, the most exciting new buildings are almost all environmentally friendly, sustainable and designed to consume as little energy as possible. Discover the finest examples of this ecological approach drawn from the Architecture Now! collection in this compact volume from the Bibliotheca Universalis series.

From water treatment plants and art museums to luxurious holiday homes and commercial structures, all these buildings fly the flag for environmental values. Being "green" means being aware of your responsibility when constructing and using modern buildings. And while some solutions are as old as the history of architecture itself, others are the fruit of cutting-edge technology. Explore these approaches and many more in this pioneering compendium presenting 100 of the world's most innovative environmentally responsible buildings.
