Christopher McCarthy | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

Battle and McCarthy have led an impressive group of consultants in their quest to provide alternative means of living and working in cities. Their aim is to improve the quality of high-rise living as well as illustrate methods of sustainable construction.

Over the last 30 years the construction industry has moved from an ill-fated stack em high build em cheap philosophy, to the building of sprawling out-of-town housing estates. It is critical that sustainable alternatives for building are communicated to the property market as the demand for cheap, affordable housing continues to rise significantly.

This book proposes changes that are sustainable and economical and it is set to become a vital source document for the city of the future.
