Review "By reducing green design to a set of checklists that are then used as shopping lists, LEED and similar environmental rating systems may actually increase consumption. And by turning sustainability into the province of consultants, such systems take the responsibility for making buildings ecologically sound out of the hands of architects. It didn’t have to be that way, Kevin Bone makes clear in this important new book. The outgrowth of a 2013 exhibition at New York’s Cooper Union, it demonstrates that many significant Modernist buildings were green by virtue of their small size and sensitive siting." —Architectural Record Read more

Great modern design strategies
'Lessons from Modernism' offers a range of modernist case studies. Projects studied emphasize the potential for modern architecture to be sensitive to its climactic context while adhering to the movememt's search for material and structural honesty. These case studies serve as strong models for architectural studio projects. Drawings and photos are well-curated and clearly support the argument made for each case study.
