Описание: This volume relies largely on the writings and speeches of HRH The Prince of Wales and includes a presentation of the script of his evocative and controversial television film, "The Earth of Balance". The interaction between the built and natural environment is analyzed in the light of the future King's philosophy and the volume is augmented by a series of specially commissioned essays including Geoffrey Lean on the media, Sir Crispin Tickell on academia, the Rev. Michael Mann on religion and Fiona Reynolds on the countryside. The texts of the Prince's speeches on specific issues ranging from the South American rainforests to nature conservation in the UK contribute to this volume on one of today's most burning issues.

Описание: Sustainable building has commonly been seen as separate from mainstream architecture and has been accorded the status of worthy but dull design. Adopting the term "bioclimatic" in preference to "green" to describe buildings which are inspired by nature and have a clear strategy for minimizing environmental depredation, this book seeks to revise this judgement. Introductory chapters trace the history of bioclimatic design in architecture, exploring the relationship between architecture and the natural environment. An examination of three projects currently under construction points to future directions in bioclimatic architecture. The contemporary projects featured in the main section of the book are diverse - from office buildings which flaunt their measures for energy conservation in the form of external solar shading, wind towers, glazed atria and photovoltaic modules, to a church built from tubes of recycled paper and a museum constructed in timber and inserted in a woodland setting. Architects whose work is featured include Tadao Ando, Shigeru Ban, Edward Cullinan, Foster and Partners, Herzog and Partners, Glenn Murcutt and Arata Isozaki.
