The College of Architecture & the Built Environment is proud to announce that Associate Professor Saglinda Roberts has released of the second edition of her influential textbook, Sustainable Design for the Built Environment, which she co-authored with former Jefferson professors Rob Fleming and Chitsanzo Isaac.
The book reflects the evolution of sustainable design from a specialized service to a mainstream practice that is shaping the future of architecture and the built environment. Written in a clear, accessible style, the text introduces students and practitioners alike to a holistic approach which goes beyond performance-driven goals to consider social, cultural, ecological, and aesthetic considerations. Offering suggested readings and classroom assignments within the textbook, the latest edition provides students with the tools necessary to envision a regenerative, coevolutionary model where human activity and natural processes thrive together.
