Hugely acclaimed in the field of ecological design, Ken Yeang has consistently challenged the orthodoxy of contemporary architecture. He designs with the vision of a future in which each building contributes to the creation of an economy that restores and replenishes the environment rather than despoils and depletes it.

Where other books have looked primarily on Yeang s work on climate within buildings, this book looks at his theories of how culture, place and climate should work together in architecture.
