Sustainable structures: 15 eco-conscious buildings around the world
(Book)
Copies
Description
"This book presents an "illustrated overview of 'green' architecture on every continent, packed full of cool STEAM facts and fascinating details. From a waste collection site built entirely from recycled materials, to a school designed to float during flood season in Bangladesh, this dazzling book highlights innovative and sustainably built structures around the world. Did you know that 'woodscrapers,' or skyscrapers made of wood, can reduce construction waste? How about that termite mounds have served as inspiration for temperature control systems? And believe it or not… there’s a research station built on skis in Antarctica....Kate McMillan dissects the design of 15 eco-friendly buildings worldwide. The extraordinary structures fall into five categories, each emphasizing a key element of sustainable design: 1) local materials, 2) adaptability, 3) sustainable construction, 4) clean energy, and 5) optimized space. Readers of all ages will love poring over the precise, colorful illustrations and informative close ups featured on eye catching double-page spreads"--
