Overview
Intégral: Revolutionary Engineering is a treatise of innovation in deep green building design, featuring stories and ideas from some of the world’s leading engineers and designers. These inside stories share the challenges and lessons of many of Intégral Group’s transformative designs around the world, including the first net zero lab, the largest net zero museum, the Grand Mosque in Mecca, healthy healthcare facilities in Europe, eco-districts in Canada and the eastern U.S., and some of the first Living Buildings in the world. The hand-illustrated stories demonstrate Intégral’s philosophical principles of revolutionary engineering, which include throwing out antiquated rules of thumb, transforming design processes to be intrinsically integrative, and expanding the roles and relationships between engineers, architects, clients, and occupants. Intégral: Revolutionary Engineering is for trailblazers who care about advancing the building and construction industry toward greater occupant health and happiness, and stronger resilience and regenerative systems.
