Book: “The Sourcebook of Contemporary Architecture”

You know that green architecture has grown up when it gets a full-blown survey. In The Sourcebook of Contemporary Architecture, you’ll find photographs and drawings of 70 small and large sustainable projects, including a California beach house, New York’s High Line, and future plans for Zira Island, Azerbaijan. Editor Sergi Costa Duran takes all kinds of eco-strategies under consideration, from passive design to green renovation to off-the-grid constructions. • $60; Harper Design, March 2011
