Sustainable elements should be foremost at every stage of a building's design, including the facade, building technology, lighting, rainwater use, as well as heating and ventilation strategies.

Included are the roof of the Queen Elizabeth II courtyard of the British Museum (with Foster and Partners), the Millennium Dome in London (with Richard Rogers), and the Wessex Water Headquarters in Bath. The firm focuses on realizing ideas in an ecologically sensible way and developing solutions from a long-term perspective. This copy is in MINT condition still in publisher's shrink wrap.
