Sustainability's Cutting Edge
Design and architecture schools can be at the forefront of practicing environmental sustainability and social equity, says Metropolis's Susan S. Szenasy.
"In the 21st century, says Metropolis editor Susan S. Szenasy, we must create a complex world of new paradigms and patterns. For this Massive Change to occur, this embrace of an ethos of environmental sustainability and social equity, architects and designers must realize the interconnectedness of sun, sky, land, people, creatures, and resources of the earth. They must realize that they have the power to alter the way things are, and the ethical responsibility to do no harm to their fellow beings or to the environment."
