What if "green design" wasn't enough? Rethinking Sustainable Living reveals the missing piece in today's sustainability movement: System Assurance — the rigorous methodology that ensures long-term resilience, not just short-term optics. In this expanded Second Edition, architect and principal consultant Hosam Zidan challenges the industry to move beyond surface-level solutions and embrace deep, verifiable integrity in urban systems. Drawing from global case studies and decades of technical oversight, this book offers a practical framework for designing environments that truly endure. You'll learn how to: Design for Resilience — move beyond ratings and certifications to embed governance and integrity into every system. Audit for Flaws — detect and eliminate systemic weaknesses in blueprints before construction begins. Bridge Tradition & Innovation — apply timeless principles from Siwa, Djenné, and Masdar to modern design challenges. Optimize Resource Flow — implement strategies for circularity, net-zero energy, and long-term ecological success. Who it's for: Architects, urban planners, engineers, and developers seeking real sustainability — not just green aesthetics. If you care about building systems that last, this book is your technical and philosophical guide. Start building with integrity. Rethinking Sustainable Living is more than a manifesto — it's a blueprint for the future. Drawing from years of practical experience, his focus is not merely on aesthetic "green" design, but on the verifiable principles of governance and integrity needed to create truly resilient systems. Start building systems that last.
