Green architecture means being aware of the responsibility implied in the construction and use of modern buildings, and there are many ways to express this rising consciousness. Some solutions, the ones generally called “passive,” are as old as the history of architecture, while others are born of cutting-edge technologies. Both approaches and many more are included in Taschen‘s collection of 100 of the world’s most innovative and recent eco-friendly buildings written by Philip Jodidio, internationally renowned as one of the most popular writers on the subject of architecture.
