500    På omsl.: Guidelines on sustainable architecture from the 
       world's leading eco-architecture firms 
520 8  The process of executing an architectural plan, a building
       or a landscape, can be disastrous for the environment. The
       construction process, whether it is erecting a building or
       excavating a landscape, is destructive. Toxic land sites 
       are disturbed, trees are removed, bedrock is shattered, 
       watercourses are altered. And it goes on--buildings cause 
       erosion and ongoing water pollution and worldwide they 
       consume a quarter of all energy produced. Fortunately 
       there are numerous ways through which buildings and 
       landscape can be designed to mitigate such negative 
       impacts. 1000 Tips by 100 Eco Architects shows how forward
       -thinking design and environmentally sound construction 
       practices can create outstanding results. Coming from the 
       world's leading eco-architecture firms, these real-life 
       projects demonstrate the pinnacle of progressive design 
       and eco restraint. Working from the essential objectives 
       of economy, sustainability, beauty and function, the 1000 
       ideas display a wide array of outcomes. Design plans 
       illlustrate the concepts and captioned photographs display
       the results. Examples include: Reveal Earth's history--
       Wire-sawing bedrock horizontally creates a beautiful 
       outdoor terrace. Produce white noise--A water curtain 
       buffers city sounds while also creating a place for 
       carefree play. Create new activity--A new island in a lake
       presents options for activities close to town. Introduce 
       the unexpected--Wavelike wood installations create spots 
       to sit, slide or ride a bike. Echo history--The layout of 
       a new water park recalls the former agricultural plot. 
       Alter scale--Irrigation ditches are transformed into 
       waterways in a water park. Seize opportunity--A quarry is 
       recovered and carved into a pleasing linear landscape. Mix
       function--A string of water through an education and 
       sports facilities beautifies and encourages recreation.
