Fractal Architecture: Design for Sustainability

By Ken Haggard and Polly Cooper -- Graphics Assistance from Christine Gyovai, Polly Cooper, Ken Haggard

Fractal Architecture: Design for Sustainability fills the gap between concepts of sustainability and the practice of environmental design. It is based on the assumption that sustainability and environmental design are not just industrial era (Modernist) design in green clothing, but a whole new direction with its own philosophy, techniques and expression. While this book is radical in the amount of change it calls for in environmental design professions and practice, it is conservative in emphasizing the traditional concerns of designers with geometry, history and aesthetics. Great effort has been made to integrate the text and graphics of this book in the spirit of holism inherent in sustainability.
