A bit of a let down after reading Johnston & Gibson on this topic: Koones is much more political, less engineering -credible, and then again, less maniacal about minimizing energy footprint. I should have known this when I saw that Robert Redford wrote the introduction: what does an actor / director know about engineering or building construction?Still, the photos are excellent, some of the layouts are interesting, and there are some good pointers to follow up, such as on insulated concrete form foundations, rubber flooring, the use of native plants for landscaping, and the Fortified program.
