RT Book, Whole DB /z-wcorg/ DS http://worldcat.org ID 1006828075 LA English T1 Garden city : supergreen buildings, urban skyscapes and the new planted space A1 Yudina, Anna,, YR 2017 SN 9780500343265 0500343268 AB How far can we expand the concept of 'urban nature'? How would it make us feel? And how is it going to transform our cities - and, eventually, ourselves? 'Garden City' captures the growing global movement among contemporary architects for biodesigning buildings less as skin and bodies - structure and facade - and more as living entities, capable of being ecologically autonomous, horticulturally productive and ultimately pleasing to our day-to-day lifestyles. It presents more than 100 (mostly completed) projects, a life-affirming range of buildings and design ideas that can be applied to new buildings and those needing rehabilitation.--Publisher's description.
