The sustainable city
Description
As the urbanization of the planet intensifies and natural resources diminish, the way we build is increasingly being questioned. City planners, architects, and engineers are all looking for innovative solutions for the way we design a city, create a public space or private house as well as for the building materials themselves. Focusing on exemplary buildings, key projects and interviews with some of the greatest names in today’s architecture: Norman Foster, Will Alsop, in UK, François Tirot, Laurent-Marc Fisher, in France, Werner Sobek or Stefan Benish, in Germany and in Netherland. THE SUSTAINABLE CITY proposes an overview of ecological architecture in Europe.
