This book provides a critical examination of sustainability in architecture, challenging conventional definitions and encouraging readers to think beyond technical solutions. The authors delve into the philosophical and cultural dimensions of sustainability, emphasizing the importance of ethical responsibility, systems thinking, and long-term perspectives. It serves as both a theoretical framework and a reflective tool for professionals and students seeking to align architectural practice with sustainable principles.
Ideal for architects, planners, and academics who are looking for a thoughtful, concept-driven approach to sustainability. This book is particularly useful for those interested in the “why” behind sustainable design, rather than only the “how.” Its critical perspective makes it a strong companion in academic or reflective professional contexts.
