<DIV>Building a better future for our planet<DIV>Green architecture used to be on the fringes, but it has gone mainstream and this new volume shows, how, why, and where. This is not a technical handbook, but rather <B>a guided tour from one end of the globe to another where sustainability has not only gone chic, but has become indispensible</B>. Solar panels and double glazing to the rescue—the energy bill is going down! As always in the <I>Architecture Now</I> books, you can discover the latest realizations of “stars” like <B>Peter Zumthor</B> and <B>Bernard Tschumi</B>, but also catch up on the rising new generation of architects, from Korea to Vietnam, from Los Angeles to Berlin. <I>Green Architecture Now! 2</I> is the only place where a tunnel of flower pots by <B>Olafur Eliasson</B> and a Waste to Energy plant with a ski slope on top by <B>BIG</B> come together with a bang. This is no ordinary architecture book—it is an up-to-the-minute, irreverent survey of something we all care about: <B>how to save the planet and build a greener future</B>. Forget about categories and certainties, find out how sustainability can be fun!</div></div>
