Cover.
Defining new ways in which architects are responding to the challenge of creating sustainable architecture, Experimental Green Strategies presents a state of the art in applied ecological, architectural research. But can a building be ‘ecological’? How can architects in practice carry out ‘research’? Is ‘green’ building a designer’s problem, or does it depend on an ecology of building – enlightened clients, a new organisation of building practice and engaged users to participate in ‘green strategies’?
This title of AD explores the way that pioneering designers are advancing sustainable architectural design, how contemporary practices are understanding the emerging brief of ‘sustainability’, and what sorts of new design tools and design approaches are being developed.
