My heart is broken and uplifted at the same time.
Why? Well……. I have just read a book which has made my PHD superfluous and has said it all so much better than I can.
If you have ever wanted a book which neatly summarises why we are were we are, why sustainability is now coming to the forefront and where architecture is and can be placed within this movement, this is the book for you.
If you are doing any research or, planning to do so, in sustainable architecture, planning or any other built environment discourse this book will save you a lot of time in framing your research.
The book is Terry Williamson's, Antony Radford's and Helen Bennetts's 'Understanding Sustainable Architecture' by Spon Press, London, ISBN 0415283515.
Thank you guys for writing this, congratulations and I hope other researchers out there get as much out of it as I have.
