Summary

A unique collection of writings which outline the evolution of the environmental dimension of architectural theory and practice in the past twenty-five years. The Environmental Tradition deals with the transformation of the environmental design field which was brought about by the growth of energy awareness in the 1970's and 1980's. The book places environmental issues in the broader theoretical and historical context in architecture.

Author Biography

Dean Hawkes is an architect who has researched and taught at the Department of Architecture at the University of Cambridge since 1965.
