Friedman, Avi, 1952-
Innovative apartment buildings : new directions in sustainable design / Avi Friedman. - Stuttgart : Edition Axel Menges, c2017. - 187 pages : color illustrations, plans ; 30 cm.
Current design of apartment buildings is facing challenges of philosophy and form. Past approaches no longer sustain new demands and require innovative thinking. The need for a new outlook is propelled by fundamental changes that touch upon environmental, economic, cultural and social aspects that led to the writing of this book. The depletion of non-renewable natural resources and climate change are a few of the environmental challenges that prompted designers to reconsider conceptual approaches in favour of ones that promote a better suitability between buildings and their environments.
