The Art and Science of Green Architecture delves into the origins, ideas, and practices of green architecture and sustainable development.


Through a series of real, time-tested green construction case studies, architects Wan Li, Liu Xiaoxue, and Chi Xin'an seek to clearly and concisely illustrate the concepts, strategies, and procedures of green building. The book also explores the relationship between green building and sustainable development, offering a timely analysis amidst the catastrophic worsening of the climate crisis. The authors employ an accessible writing style to discernibly connect various aspects and dimensions of core knowledge and concepts, including intelligent systems that are fast growing, passive climate-responsive design, the social and economic benefits of green buildings, and the green building assessment system. Complete with illustrative diagrams and graphics, the book also includes student-friendly features such as information boxes and detailed tables.
