Von der hinteren Coverseite


The first and only comprehensive, illustrated guide to schools and educational centers offering programs in "green" building design and construction. In it are tables comparing school programs and a 20-year overview of sustainable design educational initiatives, plus selected listings of curriculum resources, related organizations, and individual instructors.

"Nary a week goes by that our firm doesn't hear from an aspiring student of architecture, asking what schools are best to help create a sustainable future. Finally, we have a guide to point them to! Besides thorough listing and comparison of programs, this book's coverage of history and current state of green building make it valuable to all design and building professionals, not just students."
--David Arkin, AIA, Arkin Tilt Architects

"If you want to learn more about ecological design and building education this is the book you need. Up to now finding the right program has been extremely frustrating. This guide simplifies the process with clear diagrams and excellent descriptions that cut through the sales hyperbole and help you find the learning environment that best fits your needs."
--Antony Brown, Director, Ecosa Institute

"As 'sustainability' becomes a more popular topic and green coursework appears in more institutions, it is difficult for the uninitiated to discern between shallow and deep programs. Few tools could be more important than this book at this time."
--Jason F. McLennan, Principal, BNIM Architects
