roundtable 2008Sustainability and Tradition:Ways of Building and Ways of Life
Each year Traditional Building holds a Roundtable discussion on a topic of current and enduring interest to its audience of design professionals. For the 2008, the topic is sustainability and tradition. More column inches in the architectural journals are currently devoted to “green building” than any other topic, but the question of exactly what we talk about when we talk about “green” is still very much open. For some, sustainability is as quantifiable as a LEED score, while for others the situation is far more complex. For some, sustainability is a technological problem with a technological solution, while for others architectural sustainability is intimately connected with the patterns of economics, politics and culture. We gathered three eminent thinkers and practitioners to discuss sustainability in general and the relationship between sustainability and tradition in particular. While each had his own perspective, there was a great deal of agreement on the interdependence of ways of building and ways of life. Michael Carey |
