Humans have always altered and affected their natural surroundings through the buildings they construct. From Thoreau's hut on Walden Pond to the monumental St. Paul's Cathedral in London, architecture reflects humankind's attitudes toward the earth's resources. Too often modern construction scars and pollutes the land and air. Architects and designers, by way of the buildings they erect, provide the source of at least 50 percent of the carbon dioxide that contributes to global warming. Huge built~in refrigeration systems for summer, acceptance of large heat losses in winter, short life spans for buildings, failure to use local materials ~ all these have been characteristic of modern architecture. Green Architecture provides a balanced overview of the way forward. The authors, Brenda and Robert Vale, argue for resource~conscious building and explore in detail the relationship between the built environment and such critical problems as power supply, waste and recycling, food production, and transportation. They draw on case studies from around the world, on a variety of scales ~ an underground house in New Hampshire, a bank headquarters in Amsterdam, an apartment block in Turin. Old as well as new structures are examined, as are possible ground rules for full~scale city planning. The result is an invaluable sourcebook of practical solutions for the architectural challenges of today and tomorrow. Green Architecture is not only essential reading for professional architects and planners, but is the first book to present clear and accessible information to the consumers of architecture: everyone who buys, works in, or lives in buildings. Calling on designers to realize a shared responsibility for the earth's resources, this book demonstrates how an architecture that can be adapted and reused by many future generations is possible today.
