Book excerpt: Eco-Resorts is a design guide for low impact, environmentally friendly tourist resorts in the tropics. The book is the first to offer architects practical, detailed guidance in developing resort buildings that work with a tropical climate and meet the needs and expectations of the client and building inhabitants. The book includes both architectural design and material solutions, supported by theoretical principles, to present a sustainable approach to resort design. It demonstrates that tropical resort buildings do not necessarily require large energy input, in compliance with green building standards. Case studies show how principles of sustainable design have been successfully applied in tropical environments. * Written by an industry insider with practical design experience, knowledge and expertise. * Demonstrates design practices related to site planning and layout, and re-assesses best practices for a tropical environment, allowing architects to apply design principles to their own projects. * Includes international case studies from several countries to illustrate best practice from a variety of tropical climate destinations around the world. Z (Zbigniew) Bromberek, PhD, is an architect educated and registered in Poland, and postgraduate-educated and residing in Australia. Z has been practising and teaching architecture for nearly 30 years. He has been involved and associated with various educational institutions and professional organizations in a number of countries around the world. Before the current appointment as Senior Lecturer in Architecture at the University of Tasmania, Z spent three years as Lecturer in Environmental Design at the University of Queensland, and two years as Guest Professor in Architectural Design in Nanjing, PR China. He was also the President of the Architectural Science Association ANZAScA for three consecutive terms in 2000–05. Z’s major research interests include design–environment interaction, low-impact architecture and re-integration of architecture as an expression of a multi-disciplinary approach to design.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hi-tech, environmental compatibility and good design are no longer a contradiction in terms. In fact, they can complement one another splendidly. Business with nature and the number of "Eco lodges" on offer is huge. Often this type of accommodation is lacking in style. And yet, particularly travel in harmony with nature should be something that appeals to all our senses. The new book "best designed ecological hotels" shows how elegance, architecture and nature can be perfectly combined. It presents outstanding hotel architecture from its best side in the world's most fascinating locations. From a luxury complex on an isolated island to a clay resort in the desert to a bush lodge with eye contact with wild animals.

Deciding where to go on holiday and choosing a place to stay from the multitude on offer is often a difficult task. In 'More Places to Stay - Hotels of the World', the latest in the 'Places to Stay' series, photographer Grant Sheehan and writer Shelley-Maree Cassidy have helpfully done some careful research for you and chosen some special destinations to add to your list of must-visit. Nearly two dozen very different hotels in countries on every continent are featured; classic, contemporary and eccentric in design; and in off-the-beaten-track locations, towns and cities. You can choose from rural retreats, from the Daintree Eco-Lodge in the Australian rainforest, to the romantic Las Cavas Wine Lodge in Argentina, gracious Greenhill Lodge here in New Zealand, stunning safari camps in Botswana, and more. Or pick a city base; the historic National Hotel in Moscow, the charming L' Otel in Paris or Hong Kong's Grand Peninsula. Dance the tango in Buenos Aires at the Faena + Universe Hotel; take in the spectacular view from La Minervetta in Sorrento, or from the tallest hotel in the world - Burj al Arab in Dubai. The book shows the hotels in their settings and some of the sights in many photographs, accompanied by text describing both hotel and place. It will appeal to both the active traveler, as well as the armchair one, and will make an excellent gift for that hard-to-buy-for someone who has everything.
