N2  - "Building Urban Nature is a new book that makes a plea for nature-inclusive, bio-receptive architecture that inspires designers to give nature a place in their work. The city is not only the habitat of people, but also of plants and animals. Through the presentation of realised projects, Building Urban Nature shows how the values of nature can be incorporated into our buildings. It discusses the conditions under which flora and fauna settle on and around our buildings, and the design methods, strategies and techniques that can help them to do so. The authors - Niels de Zwarte, Piet Vollaard and Jaques Vink - link ecological theory with building practice to help designers, architects and ecologists to make architecture nature-inclusive."--Publisher information
