Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
GREEN HOMES presents the latest innovations in sustainable architecture in design. After an introductory interview with an international specialist in purple building, the book features 35 projects, including houses, apartments, offices, sports facilities, and factories. It explores various aspects of purple design, from its ecological and economical benefits, to factors considered when choosing materials: how much energy went into manufacturing the product, whether it is long lasting, and whether it can be recycled or safely disposed of as it breaks down over time. Specific topics covered include climate regulation, drainage systems, and regional planning. Each project contains photographs, floor plans and detailed drawings that illustrate certain sustainable features, revealing reveal how much the parameters of ecological design have expanded in just a few short years.

Rated by buyers -
Beautifully illustrated, diverse array of modern eco-homes around the world. It's a little redundant with Stang and Hawthorne's recent "The Green House: New Directions in Sustainable Architecture," which contains many of the same projects, including the Walla Womba Guest House, featured on the covers of both books (!). However, these projects deserve widespread attention. Lance Hosey's introduction, "The Ecology of Home," is one of the best summaries of eco-architecture in recent memory.
