Synopsis
"Sustainable Architecture" is a term that groups together a number of approaches to architecture that choose materials and techniques that can be maintained for the long-term without exhausting non-renewable resources. Mainstreaming Sustainable Architecture illustrates a systems approach to design and construction in which the various components--such as passive solar techniques, earth air conditioning, vapor-permeable ceilings, and cellulose insulation--operate synergistically to achieve environmental goals. This case study of Casa de Paja (House of Straw) demonstrates that many elements of sustainable architecture can be incorporated without sacrificing sophisticated design and without added expense. While no technical background is needed to understand the principles behind sustainable design, architects and engineers will find enough detail in the drawings and appendices to adapt these techniques to their own construction.

    Seller was communicative, and very helpful. The packaging was excellent since there was no damage to the products inside. They were kept in very protective condition, so I am truly thankful for that! Posters were as described. No hidden damage or anything along those lines. The description was very accurate as well. Shipping was great as well. I am very satisfied and I would definitely recommend this seller.

    Better watch out for FedEx this holiday season, already having issues. In my case no updating of tracking info on my package, so it's not looking good for Xmas deliveries. Anyway, everything just as described, extremely well packaged for the circuitous route traveled, got this kit at a decent price( even with tracking issue). Thx, DR
