Theories of sustainability in American architecture are contingent upon a number of compelling yet unreliable claims that condition the discourse and practice of sustainability. This article identifies illustrative examples of these claims and discusses their importance today. The intent is to emphasize the cogent aspects of these claims while also discerning other approaches to sustainability. The major conclusion is that teaching technics and the expansion of the concept of context constitutes the most productive means for the advancement of sustainable practices.
