Green Dictionary of Advanced Architecture - Advanced Sustainability in Urban and Architectural Practice (Hardcover, English ed.)

The Green Dictionary offers, right in the shift
towards a new paradigm of sustainability, the
widest glossary of terms, projects, concepts,
patents, materials, technology, products and
phenomena about the optimization of resources,
the closing of material cycles, the alternative
energies, recycling processes, the environmental
consciousness and the new aesthetics originated
around them.
This book is clearly a continuation of the Metapolis
Dictionary of Advanced Architecture, which
promoted a multifaceted vision of achitectonic
culture for the information society, whereas The Green Dictionary will promote the same for
the new society of the 21st Century. This richly
illustrated volume features works and projects
exemplary for their sustainable practice, and
illustrates the voices, ideas, techniques, scenarios,
attitudes and transversal references which shape
the book. We present an essential dictionarymanual-
vocabulary-compendium-encyclopedia
about the spatial solutions and products likely
to mitigate the environmental impact on the
planet; a must-have tool for rethinking the current
civilization model and, consequently, the cities and
architecture models of our most immediate future.
