520			_aThis book is intended as a general exploration of one of the most complex and problematic issues facing humanity over the next century - that is, how to construct a human habitat in harmony with nature. The purpose is to set the stage for an expanding creative dialogue, but not pretend to offer Utopian solutions for the damage wrought by construction technology and the waste of resources during the past 50 years. The text is really more about opening up ideas and issues for investigation and identifying new directions in green design.
