520 1 _a"The concept of sustainability is at the core of the development of an architecture which is fit for the future. In urban planning, design and construction, it calls for the use of materials and structures which will ensure value whilst respecting natural resources. Intelligent technologies, innovative construction techniques, ecologically sound building materials and environmentally sensitive energy management form the essential elements of these new concepts in architecture." "The book's first section provides a comprehensive overview of the different issues in environmental architecture and approaches to it in Europe. This is followed by a wide-ranging discussion of sustainable urban planning, citing key European examples. The book focuses on technologies, materials and methods, with the final section examining 23 exceptional European buildings in detail and in the light of their contributions to sustainable architecture. Architects indude Jean-Yves Barrier, Baumschlager & Eberle, Behnisch, Behnisch & Partner, Kauffmann Theilig, Hermann Kaufmann, Metron, Ian Ritchie and many others."--BOOK JACKET.
