Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog. shelved at: (R) : Sustainability Years after I bought this book by James "SITE" Wines, I saw the outspoken architect lecture (I wrote about some of his talk here) when he asserted that he was practicing "green architecture" before it was a thing, before it could be labelled as such, before it became popular with mainstream architects. But he didn't do it by building earth-berm houses or the like in the 70s; he designed temporary structures and art installations that merged art, architecture and landscape in ways that others weren't doing at the time. One of his BEST Showrooms, in fact, was "green" in that it had a zone of trees between the detached facade and the showroom proper (it is now a church). So it makes some sense that Wines would pen a book of green architecture, reaching back far in time but focusing on recent exemplars of environmental architecture. The latter is not made up of LEED-accredited buildings or other mainstream examples, but instead follows his alternative means of seeing how architecture and landscape can relate, both intellectually and formally. His prose is not the most graceful, but the book is a good one for this clear eye for good green architecture and the strength of his convictions. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
When is a house ecological? Does the use of natural materials and solar cells on the roof make a building an example of ""green"" architecture? Perhaps even Antoni Gaud? and Frank Lloyd Wright designed ""greener"" buildings than most contemporary architects, whose low-energy houses scarcely differ outwardly from traditional ones. James Wines puts up the various - and often irreconcilable - concepts of environmentally-friendly architecture for discussion, making a case for an architecture that not only focuses on technological solutions, but also tries to reconcile man and nature in its formal idiom. Among the examples of contemporary ecological architecture presented are works by Emilio Ambasz, Gustav Peichl, Arthur Quarmby, Jean Nouvel, Sim Van der Ryn, Jourda and Perraudin, Log ID, James Cutler, Stanley Saitowitz, Fran'ois Roche, Nigel Coates and Michael Sorkin.
