In recent years, relationship between sustainability and architecture is the one of the hottest issues. Mohsen Mostafavi who is dean of the Harvard Graduate School of Design written this book to ask; What are the key principles of an ecological urbanism? How might they be organized? And what role might design and planning play in the process?
I suppose the reason why this book is received good reviews, because the book introduces related projects in great detail rather than just argue the opinion to deal with the issue.
This book contains lots of current ecological architecture and landscape architecture projects as examples that we need to go further.
I suppose the word 'sustainability' and 'Ecological design' have become cliché. Too many books and people are saying that but just few people understand and really have deep views for it. But this book approach to the issue with really practical and experimental precedents.
