If sustainability is to become a global reality, it must also be designed and expressed with trend-setting aesthetics. The carefully selected sample projects in \u003cem\u003eSustainable Buildings\u003c\/em\u003e by Dorian Lucas show how this can be implemented in compelling ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThey offer an informative overview of current, very different concepts, approaches and techniques. Sustainable building also means that ecological parameters involve not only all aspects of the actual building, but also the construction process and the afterlife in the sense of deconstruction and conversion, all of which must be considered by the planner as early as the design process.
