Under these conditions, what does it mean to learn, and try to practice, so-called green design? By tracing the training and professional experiences of environmental architects in India's first graduate degree program in Environmental Architecture, Rademacher shows how environmental architects forged sustainability concepts and practices and sought to make them meaningful through engaged architectural practice. The book's focus on practitioners offers insights into the many roles that converge to produce this emergent, critically important form of urban expertise. At once activists, scientists, and designers, the environmental architects profiled in Building Green act as key agents of urban change whose efforts in practice are shaped by a complex urban development economy, layered political power relations, and a calculus of when, and how, their expert skills might be operationalized in service of a global urban future"--Provided by publisher. 606 $aUrban ecology (Sociology)$zIndia$zMumbai 606 $aArchitecture$xEnvironmental aspects$zIndia$zMumbai 606 $aArchitects$zIndia$zMumbai 606 $aSustainable architecture$zIndia$zMumbai 615 0$aUrban ecology (Sociology) 615 0$aArchitecture$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aArchitects 615 0$aSustainable architecture 676 $a720/.470954792 700 $aRademacher$b Anne$0960251 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910245737903321 996 $aBuilding green$92176519 997 $aUNINA
