Sustainable Architecture by James Steele
This text explores and explains how and why 20th-century architecture has contributed to the degradation of arable land, forests, air and water quality, and energy resources. Using case studies, it provides architects, builders and their clients with guidelines for solving such environmental abuse.James Steele is an architect who earned his bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Pennsylvania and worked in the Philadelphia area before accepting a teaching job at Dammam University in Saudi Arabia for eight years.
