Towards an Architecture of Responsibility - Hardcover
by Marc Thorpe (Author)
The works presented in this book reflect an optimistic vision of the future. The buildings present themselves in a humble and respectful manor through their systemic integration of the environment. Honest in their use of material and construction, each project deploys sustainable strategies such as locally sourced woods, earth brick construction, water harvesting, passive design, native landscaping, and renewable energy production. Unique in narrative, context, history, and location, they all share one common theme: self-awareness.
