The Eco-Design Handbook (2eme ed.) /anglais

by FUAD-LUKE ALASTAIR

The Eco-Design Handbook is the first book to present the best-designed objects for every aspect of the home and office, including the most environmentally sound materials and building products. The book contains three essential components. An introduction puts forward the history and latest thinking in green design strategies. Its core comprises two sections devoted to detailed illustrated descriptions of objects for domestic living and products for the office or work-related activities. The third element is a vast reference source, defining available materials, from organic to specially developed eco-sensitive composites and then providing detailed information on manufacturers, design studios, green organizations, online information, as well as further reading and a glossary of useful terms and concepts. Lastly, a comprehensive index makes it possible for the reader to find any product, designer or manufacturer instantly. This is a complete resource, equally invaluable for the broad consumer market and for design professionals.

A great showcase of design across many areas. The book contains a huge variety of industrial design, in this it rarely goes into the detail that many may like, but does give you enough information to then study more yourself. They provide a huge amount of imagery which is always nice.
