Living Homes: Sustainable Architecture and Design

Living Homes: Sustainable Architecture and Design
At a time when sustainable living has never been more popular, we're proud to offer a paperback edition of Living Homes, published ahead of its time as a hardcover in 2001. Hundreds of photographs tour the interiors and gardens of 22 admirable homes made with energy efficient means. Expertly written and visually inspiring, this edition includes an introduction by Cradle to Cradle author and leader in green architecture William McDonough and updated resources.

Finally! A book on sustainable architecture that shows quality buildings designed by Architects. All too often, these books show buildings that are not well designed, and detailed, and the quality of construction is lacking. I was very pleased to see well known architects, as well as lesser known architects' work detailed in this beautiful book. This book is wonderful to look at and it also has excellent, well written descriptions of each project.
It's a great read, and it is now in my personal library. I also bought one for the office.
