Знание - сокрушительное оружие, и книга - вечный источник премудрости. Но не только... И это достоверный экземпляр такой работы, которая помогает иначе взглянуть на мир и на себя самого, открывая новые опции в жизни - "Sustainable Preservation. Greening Existing Buildings"

Sustainable Preservation takes a nuanced look at the hundreds of choices that adaptive reuse requires architects to make—from ingenious ways to redeploy existing structural elements to time-honored techniques for natural ventilation to creation of wetlands that restore a site's natural biological functions. In addition, Sustainable Preservation presents 50 case studies of projects—schools, houses, offices, stores, museums, and government buildings—that set new standards for holistic approaches to adaptive reuse and sustainability. The author covers design issues, from building location to lighting systems, renewable power options, stormwater handling, and building envelope protection and integrity. The book also reviews operational issues, including materials choices for low lifetime maintenance, green housekeeping, and indoor air quality.

Уверены, что "Sustainable Preservation. Greening Existing Buildings" - неоценимый дар для тех, кто привык думать своей головой.
