与十年前生态建筑被认为是一种奢侈相比，现在建筑不考虑可持续性问题基本上是不可能的。生态平衡的方面已经成为规划和建设过程中的一个重要部分。近年来，出现了一套标准的方法和可能性来实现环保建筑这一目标。

然而，有些建筑师对可持续建筑的想法和技术超越了现在已经建立的标准，有时还具有强制性。本书讨论了这类新颖、创新的生态建筑解决方案。作者介绍了来自世界各地的项目，这些项目从标准措施和概念中脱颖而出，为未来指明了方向。

In contrast to a decade ago, when ecological architecture was considered a luxury, it has now become essentially impossible to build without considering sustainability issues. Aspects of ecological balance have become an important part in the planning and construction process. In recent years, a canon of standard methods and possibilities has emerged to achieve this goal of environmentally friendly architecture.

However, there are architects whose ideas and techniques for sustainable buildings go beyond the standards that have now been established and are sometimes also mandatory. This publication discusses such new and innovative solutions for ecological construction. The author presents projects from all over the world that stand out from the standard measures and concepts and point the way to the future.
