This updated edition features case studies predicting future trends, as well as expanded chapters on structures, materials, waste, water, thermal control and energy, and an all-new chapter on light. It provides a valuable sourcebook of extraordinary design solutions for architects, urban designers, and product designers preparing to build a sustainable future.
