Combining sustainability and environmental awareness with ground-breaking style is one of the most exciting tasks of contemporary building design. Architects meet this challenge with breakthrough creative concepts which transformed ecological innovation into an integral part of building. The selections featured in this book include such different spectacular designs as the Zero Energy Wall in Beijing, the energy efficient Club Watt Rotterdam and the wooden Christ the Light Cathedral in San Francisco.
The combination of unusual design and visionary application of energy and environment conservation technologies illuminates the projects presented in this volume as the forerunners of contemporary architecture. 112 projects from all around the globe are presented by means of texts, plans and photos as well as specific data concerning the ecological features.
