The transition from green to sustainable requires new tools for thinking, new descriptors that reflect both the mitigation of impact and resilience to adverse change. A number of recently completed projects from across Asia go beyond the current conventions of greening. Individually, they speak to the diversity of this wide and varied region; collectively, they illustrate six principles that could together form a path to sustainability. Author Nirmal Kishnani details more than 30 projects in photos, drawings and texts, demonstrating the rise of long-term, locally-oriented and community-specific solutions in architectural practice, from Bangladesh to the Philippines and from Vietnam to Taiwan. AUTHOR: Dr Nirmal Kishnani is an educator, researcher and consultant. He has been an advocate and expert in Green design in Asia for over 15 years, sitting on several advisory panels in China, Singapore and Vietnam that have shaped projects and policies. He is at present with the National University of Singapore where he teaches sustainability at the School of Design and Environment and is programme director of its Masters in Integrated Sustainable Design. He is also Editor-in-Chief of the FuturArc magazine and resident jury chair of two Asia-based design competitions: the FuturArc Prize and the FuturArc Green Leadership Award. Illustrated throughout
