  The book provides provides a current, comprehensive guide to this exciting, emerging field. From core concepts to innovative applications of cutting-edge technology and the latest industry trends, this text offers an in-depth introduction to the construction of “green” homes. Unlike many texts that adopt a product-oriented approach, this book emphasizes the crucial planning, processes, and execution methods necessary for effective, environmentally sound construction. This text demonstrates that Earth-friendly products and energy-efficient materials take planning in order to make a building truly green. This visionary text helps students and professionals develop the knowledge and skills to “think green” from start to finish, empowering and inspiring them to build truly sustainable homes.
• Steven Beckers – Building integrated GreenHouses – Bigh Farm (Ferme Abattoir)
  

  BIGH’s first urban farm is the Ferme Abattoir built on the roof of the Foodmet market hall, designed by ORG architects, on the historical Abattoir site in the heart of Brussels canal priority development area.
• Diebedo Francis Kere – Gando Primary School 
  

  Kéré designed a building of traditional unbaked mud bricks, an easily available and highly sustainable material in the region, but one that had fallen into disregard. To increase their durability Kéré introduced a human-powered machine to compress the bricks and he designed a large overhanging roof to protect the walls against rain and heat, leaving space between the ceiling and roof to increase air circulation and create a pleasant interior climate. Community members collaborated on the erection of the school, becoming trained in construction in the process. The brick elements were hand assembled on site, and the roof structure was welded without heavy machinery.

• The EU Resilience Prospectus
  

  Cities stand at the forefront of the challenges and opportunities of the 21st Century. This is especially true in the European Union and throughout Europe. While worldwide just over 55% of the population lives in cities, in Europe the number is already over 70%, due to reach 80% by 2020. Aging infrastructure, extreme weather, and mass migration disproportionately a€ect urban centers and will only continue to further impact them.
