Green Dream: How Future Cities Can Outsmart Nature

Green Dream: How Future Cities Can Outsmart Nature

Read Download
Green Dream investigates what -green- means in practical terms for design, architecture and urbanism. Led by The Why Factory, the urbanist thinktank headed by Winy Maas, experts in the field debate what is currently considered green and how the term ought to be defined going forward, challenging architectural conventions and looking into the potential of new green architecture. Recognizing that green buildings alone do not make a green city, Green Dream also looks at broader green solutions for cities and how they might be implemented. Most importantly of all, the book dares to ask -Is a green city actually feasible?- and attempts to answer this question through case studies. Drawing on 36 illustrated green projects, and with essays by John Thackara and Winy Maas, this volume outlines future goals for architectural and urban projects, and draws on research by The Why Factory, MVRDV and Delft University of Technology.
