What makes a `green` house? Are ecological materials and solar panels on roof tops the only signs of an environmental architecture? Or were the designs of Antoni Gaudi and Frank Lloyd Wright even `greener` than the buildings of most contemporary architects, whose energy-efficient houses do not differ visibly from traditional modernist architecture? ожйпт In his book, James Wines discusses the various - and often irreconcilable - concepts of ecological architecture, and pleads for a design that not only calls for technological solutions but also longs to reconcile man and nature by aesthetic means The contemporary buildings featured cover the wide range of environmental architecture: organically and technologically orientated buildings that are rooted in landscapes or urban contexts, designed by 38 prominent architects including Emilio Ambasz, Nigel Coates, Charles Jencks, Jean Nouvel, Renzo Piano, and Antoine Predock Edited by Philip Jodidio Автор James Wines.  УниверсальныеИздательство: Taschen, 2000 г Мягкая обложка, 240 стр ISBN 3822863033 Формат: 84x104/32 (~220x240 мм).
