Sustainable Design: A Definition, a Direction
Daniel Williams’s new book, Sustainable Design, “is a description of a transition from the exclusive concern for form making to the art and science of place making,” says Oberlin College Professor David Orr in his foreword to the book. With a complete compendium of the 1997-2006 annual AIA Committee on the Environment Top 10 projects and bottom-up discussion of ecology and sustainability, the book conveys a powerful, much-needed message. Even its medium is its message: Sustainable Design is printed on 100 percent post-consumer recycled paper. Inside is Williams’s definition of sustainable (versus green) design and a checklist of where to start.
