Description

In the Philosophy of Sustainable Design, McLennan outlines the major ideas and issues that have emerged in the growing movement of green architecture and sustainable design over the last thirty years. This book is intended as a kick off point for anyone involved in the building industry on a journey to be informed how they may be able to build more responsibly. The book is rooted in practical knowledge but fairly than being a ‘how to book’ asks individuals to remember how the philosophy of sustainable design can have an effect on their own work. Part Sustainable Design 101 and part manifesto this book lays the groundwork and philosophical basis for more technical study. McLennan relies on his extensive experience with sustainable design having consulted to dozens of projects and design teams in every single place the country. Tapping into the work of many pioneers and ‘green design philosophers’ McLennan clearly presents a framework for people to remember Sustainable Design and how in the end it’s going to turn out to be the future of architecture and design.
