Looking at this week's
WAN BOOKS the cover of
Eco Structures by Gianpaolo Sprito and Antonino Terranova struck me as quite familiar. Immediately I thought of
Green Architecture by James Wines, published ten years earlier by
Taschen. Both seem to find the
Jean Marie Tjibaou Cultural Center in New Caledonia by
Renzo Piano Building Workshop as the defining example of sustainably responsible architecture. Or at least the sexiest.

Trying to find
Eco Structures on Amazon.com, it appears that the US release will have a different cover, what looks to be the
Eden Project in Cornwall, England by
Grimshaw Architects.
