This publication is a green pattern book for today. The Architectural Review Green, or sustainable, or environmentally-friendly architecture is not simply an environmental benefit.

A fifth section advises on design evaluation.
Sustainability is one of many considerations for the practising architect.
This book is for the experienced practitioner anywhere who wishes to make a more sustainable architecture whether or not they have yet acquired any particular expertise in the subject. It will also serve as a valuable introduction to the subject, and provide a clear and attractive text for students.
