Literary Review #1: This source talks about the efficiency of eco-friendly and environmental homes. It also discusses the average prices of these homes and the energy that is saved and how that has an effect on the marketplace in terms of introducing and being ready for this type of home design to enter the market of housing. Overall this article encompasses how to make homes that are beautifully designed with the necessities needed for living with elements of sustainability and eco-friendly at it’s forth front.
Literary Review #2: This article focuses on London and how green architecture and spaces have influenced the levels of climate change being experienced on that side of the world. This article goes further by exploring how these different adaptations of living can help to combat the growing and urgent issues of climate change and how this might be a potential way of life. The article identifies three key areas of focus for future policies and research into green architecture and its potential and optimism for being a new form of living that works in tandem with the environment instead of causing climate change to occur.
Literary Review #3: This article considers the current structure of homes and how they’re built inadequately, not compensating the needs and times of today’s circumstances with climate change, the environment, and the animals in these ecosystems being at risk. The article looks deeper into how to build a better home that includes the needs and the wants of the occupants without compromising the local and surrounding environment. A new course of action the article suggests, would be setting up fair and transparent market mechanisms for carbon and energy consumption and pricing, which could improve the health of people, lift them out of fuel poverty and reduce harmful air pollution from fossil fuel generation, transportation and industrial processes.

Literary Review #1: The chapter of this book looks at all aspects of the eco-homes from a social, physical, and cultural standpoint. The chapter discusses that in order to fully understand eco-homes, all elements of the home cannot be examined in isolation. This chapter demonstrates that we urgently need to know more about eco-homes than just technological questions of construction or political questions of land availability. Instead, we must embrace qualitative investigations into the why, how and with what consequences people choose to build and live in these homes. Only through such analysis can we begin to understand how to encourage and enable more self build eco-homes. The chapter ultimately discusses from these different standpoints (cultural, social, physical) how to make this type of living marketable and suitable for a large majority of persons.
Literary Review #2: The chapter of this book talks about the implementation of 3-D printing technologies in construction of these eco-friendly spaces and buildings. The materials are environmentally safe and flexible allowing the space/building to take any shape and form, expanding the possibilities of architecture and home designs to fit the specific niches and needs of the occupants. These materials also improve energy-efficiency and consumption, which can save the occupants’ money.
