    Summary note
    "This publication explores in detail the evolution of the eco-library, focusing on how design teams cope with diminishing resources in diverse geographical and climatic conditions. The featured projects demonstrate measurable reductions in both construction and operating costs through innovative designs that utilise the ecology of a selected site in a positive way."--Back cover.
