ECOHOUSE: A DESIGN GUIDE

"The first question to answer should be: what is an ecohouse?
Eco-architecture sees buildings as part of the larger ecology of
the planet and the building as part of a living habitat. This
contrasts with the more common notions of many architects,
who see a building as a work of art, perhaps on exhibition in a
settlement or as ‘frozen music’ in the people-less pictures of
glossy magazines. Some architects see the process of design as
a production line with the building as a product to be deposited
on a site, regardless of its particular environment or qualities. You
will see from the case studies at the end of the book that
ecohouses are closely connected to their site, society, climate,
region and the planet."

Description Architecture and Polyphony: Building in the Islamic World Today covers the Ninth Award Cycle of the Aga Khan Award for Architecture.

At no time in recent history have architecture, urban planning, rehabilitation, and reconstruction been as important to the Islamic world as they are today. With great opportunities to engender positive change and build better places for everyone, architects are responding to local challenges with understanding and innovation, with global outlook and vernacular and innovative forms. These multifaceted achievements include restoration, landscape design, infrastructure and urban planning, and new buildings.

Bringing to international attention the work of architects, artisans, designers, planners and visionaries who have produced significant projects for Muslim societies since 1977, the triennial Aga Khan Award for Architecture celebrates outstanding contributions to architectural design, local construction and the revivification of historic cities. In this, the ninth Award cycle, an independent Jury comprising architects, engineers, artists, historians, philosophers and urban planners has selected seven projects to reflect the rich diversity of Muslim architecture today.

With 280 illustrations.

"Architects are keen for recognition. They work, sure, for commercial reasons but much of what they do is driven by a need to express some sort of artistry as well as need to feel valued for a contribution to society as a whole. This type of civic recognition does not come easy. This is partly because the general public is not particularly interested in the typesof discussion, often rather academic or scholarly in nature, which really tackle design issues."
