green magazine subscription

From the publisher

Australia's leading sustainable architecture and landscape design magazine for inspirational stories on local and international houses, gardens and profiles.
Welcome to the 103rd issue of green. Prefabricated housing has come a long way in the last decade. There are now a number of companies dedicated to offsite construction, and more architects combining this with bespoke solutions. For many, the attraction of a controlled environment and all the benefits that it brings, combined with less time and less impact on site, is compelling.
In this issue we look at four architect-driven projects, both locally and in New Zealand.
Also in this issue a collection of houses that vary in scale and expenditure but unite in their desire for low impact living. Whether that be in their restrained approach to renovations or their right- from-the get-go intentions to build for a low energy future.
Our profile highlights a group of new wave architects in the UK who are looking at the synergy between architecture and agriculture and how we can essentially grow architecture.
Meanwhile in Melbourne a school with a history of activism appointed landscape architects to tear up a hot concrete yard. They turned it into a space of native plants and permeable surfaces, using the torn-up slabs to create height and structure. The resourceful solution proves a tight budget can force creativity and result in a more sustainable outcome.
Finally, in our Not Wasted section, a charming changing shed on a harbourside promenade in Auckland. Using materials made from salvaged ocean plastics and packaging waste, alongside waste timber shingles, slipping into your togs has never been more enticing.
