Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Green Buildings Payexamines, through case studies of commercial and university buildings, how different approaches to green design can produce more sustainable patterns of development. The case studies are described by their designers and often also by the client, thereby ensuring that the buildings are seen in the context of market realities.
Based upon two conferences held by the Royal Institute of British Architects.
