In The Philosophy of Sustainable Design, McLennan outlines

the major ideas and issues that have emerged in the growing

movement of green architecture and sustainable design over

the last thirty years. This book is intended as a starting point

for anyone involved in the building industry on a journey to

learn how they can build more responsibly. The book is

rooted in practical knowledge but rather than being a ‘howto

book’ asks individuals to understand how the philosophy

of sustainable design can affect their own work. Part

Sustainable Design 101 and part manifesto this book lays the

groundwork and philosophical basis for more technical study.

McLennan relies on his extensive experience with sustainable

design having consulted to dozens of projects and design

teams all over the country. Tapping into the work of many

pioneers and ‘green design philosophers’ McLennan clearly

presents a framework for practitioners and students to understand sustainable design and how ultimately it will become the future of

architecture and design.
