SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE

In recent decades, there has been a growing awareness of environmental issues in society as a whole, mainly due to the increasingly serious consequences of climate change and the progressive degradation of the natural environment caused by human activity. Within this trend, the practice of "Green Architecture" stands as one of the main tools to promote a change of course that helps to ensure the sustainability of the planet and the preservation of its natural heritage. This book showcases recent house designs which exemplify green architecture and how such houses provide sustainable living environments.
