Design provides the foundation upon which every object and system is built. The design of a community or a building is an expression of aspirations, be they economic, cultural, social, or environmental. Sustainable design expresses these aspirations in the context of environmental factors beyond the project's property line, with the intention to engage, restore, or enhance a region's ecosystem.
