Why read it?
1 author picked 101 Rules of Thumb for Sustainable Buildings and Cities as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The book is beautifully presented as a series of annotated diagrams, one for each rule of thumb. This is a very powerful communication tool for explaining principles of sustainable design that designers can understand and then apply to their own projects. The concepts span design considerations from the scale of the room to the city to the globe - benefiting interior designers, architects, landscape architects, and urban designers alike. I would urge all designers to create a sustainability diagram of every project during the design process.
From Sian's list on sustainable design (from an architect).
