"This one-of-a-kind collection of "green" writings - from seminal figures such as Paolo Soleri and Buckminster Fuller, to unsung pioneers of alternative materials and experimental methods, to experts around the world - makes possible for the first time a grand overview of ecological design in architecture and planning. It's also an unparalleled source of inspiration, job-simplifying details, and how-to's for the real-world structures and plans that are an everyday part of your work."--BOOK JACKET.
