Inhaltsangabe

Not just buildings that will stand up by themselves, but buildings that are more friendly to the environment, especially in the Third World, are the goal of Steele (architecture, U. of Southern California). Drawing on case studies from Los Angeles to Bangladesh, he explains how to work with limited energy resources, take advantage of traditional building techniques, analyze and compare the energy consumption of traditional and modern construction, shape urban planning policy, make the best use of technological advances, and teach such skills to the next generation of architects. Highly illustrated in black and white. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
