ISBN: 9780816693399 / Angielski / Miękka / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Buildings are not benign; rather, they commonly manipulate and abuse their human users.

Constructed Ecosystems: Ideas and Subsystems in the Work of Ken Yeang
ISBN: 9781940743158 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The fundamental underlying premise is that ecoarchitecture, if it is to fully embrace the natural world, must be designed to be 'living constructed ecosystems' and not inert denatured structures. Yeang holds that green design today is still very much in its adolescence, requiring significant developmental work, particularly in architectural biointegration and aesthetic development. Shown and explained here are the various invented devices...
