XS Green
P. Richardson

'A host of wonderfully esoteric projects ... what this book shows above all is that true innovation is alive and well in architecture' - Grand Designs 'Accessible, inspiring and full of great images that will get the reader thinking' - Architecture TodayWhat does it mean to be green? This book, a follow-up to the cult hit XS, is a celebration of idiosyncratic small buildings, and asks what we mean by building 'green' and how doing so enriches the world around us. The projects here are not only about building well, but about seeing well. They embrace the spectrum of small structures from traditional nature huts and ornamental follies, to the charmingly surreal. Buildings that look after people can also be the ones that look after the earth.Also by Phyllis Richardson:XS: Big Ideas, Small BuildingsHouse Plus: Imaginative Ideas for Extending your HomeContemporary NaturalOther books of interest:Ecological Architecture: A Critical HistoryDavid Adjaye Houses: Recycling, Reconfiguring, RebuildingThe New Autonomous House: Design and Planning     for Sustainability
