Eco-tech
Sustainable Architecture and High Technology
Résumé
This international survey presents projects completed in the 1990s that use high-tech forms and materials for environmentally intelligent means. It brings together innovative approaches by established practitioners — Richard Rogers, Norman Foster, Nicholas Grimshaw, and Michael Hopkins — with a new generation — Thomas Herzog, Von Gerkan Marg, Design Antenna, and Itsuko Hasegawa.
The introduction charts the evolution of high-tech architecture and its progression toward more ecological concerns, and the movement as a whole is considered in a broader architectural context. At the book's heart is a selection of forty of the world's most sophisticated projects, each with a thorough description of its unique architectural and technological features, as well as extensive plans, drawings, and sketches. A complete reference section includes architect biographies and technical details of each project. Accompanying the texts and drawings are spectacular photographs, most of which were specially commissioned for this publication.
