Architecture
Agora Borealis: engaging in sustainable architecture by Vivian Manasc & Cheryl Mahaffy. 11243 63 St.; Edmonton, AB Canada T5W 4E5. mahaffyc@shaw.ca. www.miarch.com 
"One firm's journey into sustainable architecture amid the vagaries of Canada’s northern climate. This is a story of targets set and (usually) met, of energy (generally) saved, of tenants (mostly) comfortable in their space and of people and communities engaged in designing their own environments. Most of all, it’s a snapshot of the teams, attitudes and materials needed to create tomorrow's agora -- the environmentally friendly gathering and living spaces needed to sustain our world and its people."
