Towards the sustainable city

Dean Hawkes

Renewable Energy, 1995, vol. 6, issue 3, 345-352

Abstract: This paper presents a selection of architectural design projects produced since 1983 by the practice of Stephen Greenberg and Dean Hawkes. Each of these, in some way, incorporates aspects of the research into low-energy design which has followed the increase in energy costs which occurred in the early 1970s. The aim of the paper is to show how these individual projects may be seen collectively as elements of a low-energy city, or as steps towards the idea of a sustainable city. The paper develops a critique of this proposition and concludes with a speculation about the nature of the truly sustainable city.
