Ecological Urban Architecture: Qualitative Approaches to Sustainability

Ecological Urban Architecture identifies fields in which architects and urban designers can use their creative skills and methods to achieve sustainable results on the urban scale. Leading experts from around the world provide in-depth information on the complexity of ecological design in urban environments in response to four themes for creating qualitive outcomes: Materialize, Mobilize, Simulate, Transform. Contributors to the book include Achim Menges (Stuttgart University Institute for Computational Design), Federico Parolotto (Mobility in Chain), Eduardo Rico (Groundlab London), Sheila Kennedy (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and Matthias Sauerbruch (Sauerbruch Hutton).
