Green Building, the trend toward more environmentally responsible construction, has become a popular movement among architects, but is less well understood by the developers and owners who control the funding for what gets built.
An excellent overview of the evolving movement towards green development. The book is somewhat dated and lacks in-depth coverage in some areas. Regardless effectively gets you into the space.
