Description: ""Contemporary buildings, like contemporary forms of urban development, are major contributors to the environmental crisis. Curator and critic Peter Buchanan uses ten buildings that combine environmental responsibility and design excellence to argue that sustainability is not just good for the planet, but offers architects new opportunities for creativity and innovation. Generously illustrated with photographs and plans of work by an international roster of architects, including Norman Foster, Herzog + Partner, Michael Hopkins and Partners, Neutelings Riedijk Architecten, Renzo Piano, and others."--Back cover.
