Expressing “sustainablity” in architectural form: Energy and environment as architectural metaphors

Bruce Forwood

Renewable Energy, 1994, vol. 5, issue 5, 1132-1134

Abstract: This paper argues that “sustainablity” will remain a peripheral architectural issue until it forms part of a contemporary architectural paradigm. The paper explores a number of approaches for relating energy and environment to the central architectural issues of form and space making.
