Preface
If you have picked up this book based on the title, you are probably inter-
ested in or involved with design in some capacity. Most people of my
acquaintance who are so involved have thought about what sustainability
means in terms of their work and whether and how to embrace it. There
is some reticence to being on the “bleeding edge” of new approaches and
thinking when you are in the business of design. So many designers and
design practices wait and plan to arrive with sustainable design services
when the market demand is there. That time may be upon us. The growth
in interest and demand for energy efficiency in homes and commercial
buildings has grown dramatically in only the last few years, and the
Â�number of “green” buildings has followed suit. Still, these buildings rep-
resent a very small portion of the actual buildings completed each year.
The demand for green products has also increased so that in many cases
what green actually means is difficult to determine. These may be signals
of the shift in marketplace, or they may be moments of popularity that
will fade with the next great idea. I believe they are the former.
It is not that as a society we will have gained some sort of transcen-
dent wisdom when it comes to the environment, although there is clearly
some awakening in terms of our environmental consciousness. Rather, we
will embrace green because it makes economic sense to do so and because
the market will respond to the economic demand. Faced with increases in
climate uncertainty, rising energy costs, and the pressures on food, water,
and services from ever greater world and national populations, we will
adapt. I believe many of those adaptations will be centered around what
we call sustainable design because the sustainability argument simply
makes more sense when all of the costs and benefits are tallied up.
When work on this project started I focused on design processes with
which I was familiar. I am a landscape architect, so I am more familiar
with site design and landscape restoration processes. As I worked through
writing the book, however, I realized that the reasoning applies to any
design process and any design profession. At the heart of design are a
core or foundational set of desires and values. This book is concerned
