Ken Yeang is an inventive and prolific architect. Underlying the buildings and projects of the last 15 years--updated in this new edition--is a program of cutting edge research, development and design, focusing on a new building type, the bioclimatic skyscraper--tall buildings whose architecture derives from a systematic understanding of the role climate can play in finding forms and technologies that are energy efficient and that enhance the quality of life for occupants. The projects described here represent stages in that program, showing a commitment to innovative design achieved in a commercially-competitive context. The book also presents the theoretical framework for Yeang's design work, and looks to the future, to explorations of wind energy and new environmentally-friendly or reactive materials.

Green Design: From Theory to Practice

Artifice, Inc.

<p>This book aims to establish a strategy for sustainable design, and for understanding the decisions that need to be made in the design of a complex building type such as the skyscraper. The author presents a general framework for looking at ecological design, a step-by-step guide to examining the fundamental premises of such an approach as well as its practical applications to the contemporary skyscraper. Issues discussed include the use of energy and materials and their physical impact on the ecosystem, illustrated with case studies from Yeang's own projects, experiments and research.</p>
