Description:	'Passive', 'solar', 'low energy1 architecture is still some way from being standard practice, and is yet to find an articulate form of expression. But, however we may choose to describe such architecture, it has come a long way (in less than a decade) and amidst the deepest of crises in architectural thought and practice. The progress in the last few years has come from the realisation that passive heat- ing and cooling apply to every climate and under many different forms; also, as a result of the availability of analytical tools for use by designers. Even more significant is the emergence of an increasingly international field. An important sign of this progress in Europe is the abandonment of cookbook solutions, - of large, expensive new houses on large suburban sites, based on early American exam- ples - for design techniques which are suited to the urban character and climates of this continent.
