Carbon Neutral Architecture by Shaneel Sethi (Hardcover)

This book presents a visionary approach to designing buildings that harmonize with the planet. The book explores how architecture can evolve beyond aesthetics and functionality to become a force for environmental balance. It examines the principles, materials, and technologies that make carbon-neutral design achievable – from passive cooling systems and renewable energy integration to low- impact materials and lifecycle carbon assessment. Through case studies and future-forward concepts, it illustrates how architects can minimize emissions while maximizing human comfort and ecological resilience. Blending science, design philosophy, and sustainability strategy, this book serves as a roadmap for architects, students, and urban planners who aspire to build a future where innovation coexists with environmental responsibility.
