      one device regularly employed involves constructing sustainable territories within the

      wider development and then populating them with selected indigenous fauna species,

      to augment the local habitat. These are coordinated with selected flora typologies to

      create a multifarious ‘biodiversity matrix’ that goes much deeper than merely adding

      greenery or landscaping to his built forms. The book specifically focuses on his practice’s

      latest projects, defining and explaining every cutting-edge tested technology, and newest

      innovation within each scheme. This is coupled with a pursuit of the aesthetics of

      ecological design, seeking to define in terms of form and materiality what a green building

      or masterplan could and should look like.

      Ken’s continued persistence in advancing green design towards ecocentrism

      makes it environmentally significant; the Guardian newspaper named him as one of the

      ‘50 People Who Could Save The Planet’ in 2008. That urgency is now increasingly being

      realised globally, and his work has never been more pertinent or visionary. Ken’s belief

      is that up until the last decade, architects sought only to prevent further impairments

      of the natural environment. Today – with the extent of devastation and its impact on the

      biosphere evident – the design effort must become a full ‘race and rescue’ mission. His

      ideas are therefore relevant not only to those in the design professions but also to others

      worldwide who share his concern for the future of the planet.
