Filling a gap in existing literature on sustainable design, this new guide introduces and illustrates sustainable design principles through detailed case studies of sustainable buildings in Europe, North America and Australia. The guide will provide the reader with a deeper understanding of the design issues involved in delivering sustainable buildings, and giving detailed description of the process of integrating principles into practice. Approximately one hundred case studies of sixty buildings, ranging from small dwellings to large commercial buildings, and drawn from a range of countries, demonstrate best current practice. The sections of the book are divided into design issues relating to sustainable development, including site and ecology, community and culture, health, materials, energy and water. With over 400 illustrations, this highly visual guide will be an invaluable reference to all those concerned with architecture and sustainability issues. https://www.google.com/shopping/product/381872393723258744?q=strategies+for+sustainable+architecture&prds=epd:14507024416586350684,eto:14507024416586350684_0&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi5wPyInP_2AhXXSvEDHWE6BvcQ9pwGCAU
