From Library Journal
McGregor (Under the Sun) and Trulsson, a freelance writer and contributor to Phoenix magazine, open this study of sustainable architecture with brief essays on natural design and appropriate technology. With photographer Moore (The Desert Southwest), they then visit 22 custom-designed homes in Colorado, Arizona, California, New Mexico, Texas, and Utah. Based on the careful siting and local sourcing of materials, these stylish examples of sustainable architecture are here grouped and introduced by material: adobe, rammed earth, straw bale, and recycled. The glossy presentation recalls popular magazine articles; lush color photographs have parity with the text, while a few architectural drawings appear as graphic decoration. If this book is any evidence, sustainable building has become a viable industry in the Western United States. The emphasis is not on building a unique, sustainable home but on commissioning one, and an extensive resource list allows readers to locate designers, builders, and specialized suppliers. For regional public libraries. David R. Conn, Surrey P.L., BC
