Description
The core of Habitat is arranged by climate zone, from desert to tropical, temperate to arctic. Within every section, buildings are presented regionally, showing how local climatic conditions and vegetation have an effect on the evolution of creating styles. Complete with a range of essays exploring the commercial and anthropological aspects, in addition to a reference section with information on materials science and engineering, Habitat offers real-world insights into sustainable buildings and stresses the significance of preserving disappearing craftsmanship and local knowledge.
