More copies of this ISBNToward a New Regionalism: Environmental Architecture in the Pacific Northwest (Sustainable Design in the Pacific Northwest)by David Miller
Synopses & ReviewsBook News Annotation:Miller (architecture, U. of Washington) gives plenty of examples of
sustainable engineering and architecture practice, but he also allows
for the spirit of the Northwest, informed by the trees, rain, rugged
landscape, and sense of pioneering, to come through in his choices.
Miller describes the conditions of regionalism in architecture, gives
a brief history of sustainable design in the Northwest and its
environmental strategies of earth, wind, water and fire, and gives
examples of site-building through ecological planning, light
construction resources in conserving building, climate-controlled
enclosures, and uses of integrated technology and materials. He also
gives project information for the examples and a glossary of terms
that may be new to other regions.
