"Book review: What is an ‘ecological’ approach to architecture? Like the now cult classic XS, this book pays tribute to small-scale buildings, whilst also exploring what ‘green’ architecture can offer the environment. It presents a wide range of innovative approaches that seek to minimise damage to nature. Whether they are ornamental follies or utilitarian structures, the viewing points, shelters and pavilions presented here challenge preconceived notions about construction and materials whilst ushering in new practices. ‘Treading lightly on the Earth’ – that is, treating it with care – is now a major concern. Through projects as ‘small’ as they are daring, XS Vert shows how structures built for human well-being can contribute to the well-being of the planet.
About the author: Phyllis Richardson has contributed to *Architectural Digest* magazine. She is the author of *XS*, *XS Extreme* and *The Contemporary Natural*, published by Thames & Hudson."
