Description: Ouvrage publié à l'occasion de l'exposition présentée à Paris, Cité de l'architecture et du patrimoine, du 21 mai au 6 octobre 2014. The unseen economic, ecological, social and cultural challenges facing contemporary societies are being addressed by architects and planners as they search for a new definition of progress and the right balance between man and the environment. The understanding of design as a collective process based on shared ethics, methods and experiments has been rewarded since 2007 by the Global Award for Sustainable ArchitectureTM. An honour created by the arahitect and professor, Jana Revedin, in partnership with international scientific institutions and the Cité de l'Architecture et du Patrimoine of Paris. The award received the patronage of UNESCO in 2011.
