Cayetano Cardelús Book order

For several decades the concepts of ecology and sustainability have generated highly influential currents of opinion in our society, and creating a greener future is at the forefront of today's architecture design. This book gives the leading role to 30 selected international architects that reveal the new trends in sustainable architecture and how they have contributed through their ideas to the basics of sustainable architecture.

Urban design and planning involves the arrangement, appearance and functionality of towns and cities, with a particular focus on public spaces such as parks, squares and gardens as well as infrastructure and privately owned spaces. 0Urban Planning shows off the most recent examples of public spaces from all around the world conceived by thirty of the most relevant world architects in this field. The book illustrates the arrival of new resources, procedures and priorities to the art of designing public spaces. It includes maps, sketches, plans, an explanatory text and numerous colour photographs.

Thirty leading international architects present current architectural trends in multi-housing design and illustrate some outstanding projects.

This book presents a selection of sustainable homes built according to what is, today, feasible in the field of sustainable architecture, and shows us what alternatives are offered in this sense by current architecture. Once considered architectural curiosities, these houses, built in a way that respects the environment, lay the foundations of tomorrow’s construction and invite us to consider that we cannot be satisfied with just pursuing our own quality of life, but that we must bequeath a future to our children and grandchildren in which they feel at home and in which enjoying a healthy and dignified environment is the norm.
