Book Description
En este libro se describe la base conceptual de un nuevo paradigma ecológico en arquitectura, y un proceso de diseño capaz de lograr una arquitectura perfectamente integrada en el ecosistema. En la primera parte del libro se establece con detalle una metodología proyectual, en base a 39 indicadores ecológicos, que permite el diseño de cualquier tipo de edificio con el máximo nivel ecológico posible, y al mismo tiempo se puede utilizar como sistema de evaluación y calificación del nivel ecológico de edificios ya proyectados, o construidos. En la segunda parte del libro se analizan con profundidad un amplio número de innovadores proyectos realizados por el Doctor Arquitecto Luis De Garrido, máximo exponente global en arquitectura ecológica y bioclimática, utilizando la metodología descrita, y que suponen diferentes manifestaciones de un mismo paradigma. El libro tiene un fuerte carácter académico, y al mismo tiempo tiene un fuerte carácter práctico y constituye un manual de referencia y una eficaz herramienta profesional. Sin duda, MANUAL DE ARQUITECTURA ECOLOGICA AVANZADA es un libro que inspirará a las generaciones futuras para entender la complejidad del proceso de diseño para lograr una verdadera arquitectura ecológica, plenamente integrada en el ecosistema del planeta Tierra.

Book Description
Este libro describe la metodología general de diseño para obtener una arquitectura ecológica y saludable, capaz de garantizar el bienestar y la salud de sus ocupantes. En la actualidad, los diferentes estamentos de poder fomentan desinformación con la finalidad de que cualquier producto que puedan fabricar, sea aceptado como "ecológico", para incentivar su consumo masivo por parte de un ciudadano sensibilizado, pero desinformado. De hecho, hoy en día, como resultado de esta campaña global, el ciudadano común ha llegado a aceptar como "ecológicos", "sanos", o "saludables" incluso productos que son altamente perjudiciales para nuestra salud o el ecosistema, ya que no dispone de criterio que le permita cuantificar conceptualmente su nivel de salud y de ecología. Del mismo modo, en el sector de la construcción, y por el mismo motivo, cualquier material y tecnología se ha convertido en saludable y ecológico de la noche a la mañana, aunque muchos de ellos supongan un fuerte daño tanto al ecosistema natural, como a la salud humana. La única forma de salir de esta situación pasa por proporcionar a los arquitectos, y a los profesionales involucrados en el sector de la construcción, robustos y legítimos criterios de evaluación, y por tanto el acceso a la información correcta. Este es el objetivo de este libro.

Book Description
Disaster-proof, environmentally friendly housing solutions for a changing climate. How can we adequately provide housing when disaster strikes, whether that disaster is weather related, like hurricanes, floods, and droughts, happens in a matter of minutes from an earthquake or tsunami, through a slow process like rising sea levels, or is the result of civil disorder or poverty? There is an urgent need for safe, sustainable housing designs that are cheap to build, environmentally friendly, and hardy enough to withstand severe environmental conditions. Not only is there climate change to contend with, but there are millions of people, right now, who do not have safe or adequate housing. In Urgent Architecture Bridgette Meinhold showcases 40 successful emergency and long-term housing projects—from repurposed shipping containers to sandbag homes. She surveys successful structures as well as highlighting promising projects that are still being developed. Every one is quickly deployable, affordable, and sustainable. This book is an essential resource for those who are interested in green building, sustainable design, eco-friendly materials, affordable housing, material reuse, and humanitarian relief.

Book Description
Aldo Rossi was a practicing architect and leader of the Italian architectural movement La Tendenza and one of the most influential theorists of the twentieth century. The Architecture of the City is his major work of architectural and urban theory. In part a protest against functionalism and the Modern Movement, in part an attempt to restore the craft of architecture to its position as the only valid object of architectural study, and in part an analysis of the rules and forms of the city's construction, the book has become immensely popular among architects and design students.

Book Description
Leon Krier is one of the best-known—and most provocative—architects and urban theoreticians in the world. Until now, however, his ideas have circulated mostly among a professional audience of architects, city planners, and academics. In The Architecture of Community, Krier has reconsidered and expanded writing from his 1998 book Architecture: Choice or Fate. Here he refines and updates his thinking on the making of sustainable, humane, and attractive villages, towns, and cities. The book includes drawings, diagrams, and photographs of his built works, which have not been widely seen until now. With three new chapters, The Architecture of Community provides a contemporary road map for designing or completing today’s fragmented communities. Illustrated throughout with Krier’s original drawings, The Architecture of Community explains his theories on classical and vernacular urbanism and architecture, while providing practical design guidelines for creating livable towns. The book contains descriptions and images of the author’s built and unbuilt projects, including the Krier House and Tower in Seaside, Florida, as well as the town of Poundbury in England. Commissioned by the Prince of Wales in 1988, Krier’s design for Poundbury in Dorset has become a reference model for ecological planning and building that can meet contemporary needs.

Book Description
Drawings, doodles, and ideograms argue with ferocity and wit for traditional urbanism and architecture. Architect Léon Krier's doodles, drawings, and ideograms make arguments in images, without the circumlocutions of prose. Drawn with wit and grace, these clever sketches do not try to please or flatter the architectural establishment. Rather, they make an impassioned argument against what Krier sees as the unquestioned doctrines and unacknowledged absurdities of contemporary architecture. Thus he shows us a building bearing a suspicious resemblance to Norman Foster's famous London “gherkin” as an example of “priapus hubris” (threatened by detumescence and “priapus nemesis”); he charts “Random Uniformity” (“fake simplicity”) and “Uniform Randomness” (“fake complexity”); he draws bloated “bulimic” and disproportionately scrawny “anorexic” columns flanking a graceful “classical” one; and he compares “private virtue” (modernist architects' homes and offices) to “public vice” (modernist architects' “creations”). Krier wants these witty images to be tools for re-founding traditional urbanism and architecture. He argues for mixed-use cities, of “architectural speech” rather than “architectural stutter,” and pointedly plots the man-vehicle-landneed ratio of “sub-urban man” versus that of a city dweller. In an age of energy crisis, he writes (and his drawings show), we “build in the wrong places, in the wrong patterns, materials, densities, and heights, and for the wrong number of dwellers”; a return to traditional architectures and building and settlement techniques can be the means of ecological reconstruction. Each of Krier's provocative and entertaining images is worth more than a thousand words of theoretical abstraction.
