With this collection of the latest and most representative projects by Mario Cucinella Architects, Building Green Futures wishes to provide an opportunity to investigate possible solutions that architecture can provide in answer to the global challenges in the present and near future. Through these works, and the research carried out by one of Italy's foremost architects, who has always focussed on building sustainability, Building Green Futures presents an important reflection on some of the crucial questions regarding urban development all over the world. In answer to these questions, and especially as far as the environmental impact of buildings is concerned, this book is based on two fundamental subjects: the first deals with the relationships with the past and the constructive strategies man has adopted in every latitude, drawing on the great capacity for adaptation and knowledge that we will need to face the challenges of our era. But Cucinella urges us to go even further, directing his research towards the plant world, the second important field of investigation developed in this book, in order to discover similarities and draw inspiration for the future.
