Garden City - Supergreen Buildings, Urban Skyscapes and the New Planted Space by Anna Yudina

Garden City captures the growing global movement among contemporary architects for biodesigning buildings less as skin and bodies - structure and facade - and more as living entities, capable of being ecologically autonomous, horticulturally productive and ultimately pleasing to our day-to-day lifestyles. It presents more than 100 -mostly completed- projects, a life-affirming range of buildings and design ideas that can be applied to new buildings and those needing rehabilitation.
