Eco-Design Handbook by Alastair Fuad-Luke
The Eco-Design Handbook is the first book to present the best-designed objects for every aspect of the home and office, including the most environmentally sound materials and building products. Some of these pieces have already become classics, others have been uncovered from far-away places or difficult-to-find one-person studios. The book contains three essential components. An introduction puts forward the history and latest thinking in green design strategies. Its core comprises two sections devoted to detailed illustrated descriptions of objects for domestic living and products for the office or work-related activities. The third element is a vast reference source, defining available materials, from organic to specially developed eco-sensitive composites and then providing detailed information on manufacturers, design studios, green organizations, online information, as well as further reading and a glossary of useful terms and concepts. Lastly, a comprehensive index makes it possible for the reader to find any product, designer or manufacturer instantly. This is a complete resource, equally invaluable for the broad consumer market and for design professionals.
Selects and presents over 400 of the most innovative 'green' products available for anybody who wants to buy ecologically sound furniture, equipment or objects for their home or workplace
Alastair Fuad-Luke has been active in environmental issues for over a decade, most recently as a teacher of green design at Falmouth College of Arts, and as a consultant to a number of London-based international concerns.
