SUSTAINABILITY IN ARCHITECTURE AND URBAN DESIGN
Description
There are books that cover the nature of the sustainability problem. There are books that cover climate change from greenhouse gases. There are books about nature and ecosystems as models of sustainability. There are books about environ mental
economics. There are books about fractal geometry and chaos. There are books about the passive solar heating and cooling of residential scale buildings. There are books about heating, cooling and lighting commercial buildings and about their indoor air quality. There are books about urbanism and transit oriented
development. There are books about conventional and alternative energy sources. I have been teaching a course on sustainability in the School of Architecture at
the University of Maryland for almost 20 years. I cover all of the topics listed above but I am reluctant to ask the students to buy 10 or 15 books. This book is a response
to this problem. It is intended to cover the broad range of topics necessary to understand why sustainability is a problem and to suggest strategic responses that
architecture and urban design can provide.
