It’s Not Easy Being Green, literally tells the reader that the idea of ‘Green architecture’ is not as simple as many expected. It’s not solely about energy efficiency or putting out different levels of vegetation, but it is an extensive dedication and cautious action towards natural and built environment. Ken’s work has demonstrated a comprehensive set of strategies making Green Architecture feasible and practical for architects and professionals from other fields to understand the importance of saving the world from environmental devastation. The book intends to raise awareness and concern on environmental issues, and suggests ways of how architecture can be design now in favor of a benign living environment.
Best architecture related books I've ever read so far. It's written in simple sentences with lots of loose illustrations which really helps readers to understand the content of the book! Definitely will recommend this to all my fellow architecture students/architects. Those who does not in to architecture will also find this book interesting and exciting to read!
I came to know of ken yeang, when he visit our college and since then I look forward to every piece of literature by him. This illustrated book is a nice light read for some real world hard stuff. You can finish in a few hours and understand his life, philosophy, eco architecture. A very informative read while being entertaining.
