Features: Sustainable development has become an important principle in contemporary architectural design. Many outstanding architects are actively exploring methods to achieve sustainable design without complex technology, addressing the increasingly pressing issues of green ecological environments. This book selects 26 architectural case studies, which are typical representatives of eco-conscious architecture today. The authors include many renowned architects in the field of sustainable architecture, such as William McDonough, Sigrid Ben, and Simon Willitz. They have achieved sustainable design using traditional eco-materials like adobe, rammed earth, wood, and bamboo, as well as recycled materials such as tires and paper, through simple techniques, creating beautiful spaces that harmonize with the environment. The book is accompanied by floor plans, elevations, and sections of the buildings, along with numerous photographs of the actual spaces, and includes detailed annotations and data. The intended readers of this book are architects, architectural students, and faculty of architectural institutions.
