Britain's greenest buildings

摘要

The bar for sustainability is noticeably higher among this year's RIBA Award-winners, showing that intelligent green design is central to the design ethos of the best UK practices. Over a third of this year's winners are examples of best practice - a step change from three years ago. The need to get form and fabric right is much more widely understood. Even those projects where aesthetics, rather than sustainability, are the driver have been ramped up by solid environmental engineering.
