The collected essays, authorial drawings and diagrams interpret some significant contemporary projects, defining a comprehensive perspective of environmental issues in architectural design, looking for new solutions which limit and optimize the resources’ consumption. The book is organized in four sections: Circularity and Reuse; Appropriate Technology; Materials, Techniques, Local Care and Alpine Ways which address the central topic putting in evidence four major challenges: economy, performance, construction, culture.
