Mainstreaming Real Sustainability in Architecture
The popularity of sustainability has grown significantly in the last decade with new buildings, cars, furniture and other consumer goods all carefully wording their sustainable marketing approach to appeal to the consumer. The reality, however, is that most of these products tend to over-sell their commitment to sustainability in their relevant fields. In the built environment, for example, this is due to many interconnected problems: “a failure to take issues of sustainability seriously enough, incoherent ESD [Ecologically Sustainable Development] policy, the predominantly aesthetic agenda of architecture and the assumption that certain technologies in themselves will deliver sustainability.” (Willis, The limits of ‘sustainable architecture’. Paper delivered at shaping the sustainable millennium, Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Australia, 2000). At EME Design, we believe that a shift in the approach and processes driving architecture and the built environment needs to occur in order to create sustainable and resilient buildings, communities, and cities.
