Building a Planetary Solution: Regenerative Architectural Strategies for a Planet in Crisis


Il ciclo di vita dell’ambiente costruito – la produzione, l’utilizzo e, infine, lo smaltimento di edifici e infrastrutture (e la loro aggregazione come paesi e città) – è attualmente responsabile di quasi la metà di tutte le emissioni di gas serra antropogeniche, oltre la metà della generazione di rifiuti solidi e quasi tre quarti del consumo di energia....
