The Philosophy of Sustainable Design

by Jason F. McLennan

This book is intended as a starting point for anyone involved in the building industry on a journey to learn how to build more responsibly. It moves sequentially through the many different perspectives, from McLennan's own life experience and relationship to sustainable design to the movement's historical roots, its underlying principles, some key technologies, levels of sustainability (both in projects and in design firms), economics, the design process, aesthetics, and future directions. This book is not a 'how-to book' but instead is a philosophical and historical description of what responsible and sustainable design really is.
