Features: "Big and Green" features the works of major architects from around the world, offering pioneering discussions and authoritative analyses on the transformative power of sustainable design. Given that the risks and rewards of large-scale architecture are equally significant, this book takes it as a research topic, revealing how the concept of sustainability holds the potential to create more vibrant and exciting buildings in the future. Fifty projects and designs are included in "Big and Green," with the principle of using energy wisely and sparingly being a common denominator. These projects strike a balance between respecting nature and demanding that new buildings create healthy environments to support economic growth.
