The Shape of Green: Aesthetics, Ecology, and Design
Lance Hosey
Do energy-efficient cars have to be boring? Is sustainability incompatible with beauty? The author's answer is a resounding 'no'. He argues that for far too long sustainable design has neglected aesthetics. He shows how design at all scales, from products to buildings to cities, can effectively marry art and science.
