Sustainability is a process. It is seen everywhere even in the air. Its huge and powerful. In a process you find the sustainability. John Lynn discussed about sustainability. One question at the beginning of his speech he asked was, "If we were fish, what would we do"? Swim, play, or hunt for food. He also asked what would we see. He asked the same about if we were birds.
One topic was characteristics of a storm. Its an agent of transformation. It can be constructive or destructive. Its a dynamic event, and its NOT a place or thing its a process. Global warming is a major problem right now meaning things are changing. The AIA 2030 Challenge is something Architect Ed Mazria is responsible for. In this challenge he tries to apply sustainability to architecture. He does so by cutting the use of carbon on products to operate a building by 50%. Harvesting as much carbon as you put out. Using measurable target goals. A benchmarked timeline. This is all adopted by Building Design Leaders.
Mr. Lynn also discussed the LEEDS program and talked about the Aproximenty Hotel and The Gerding Theaters Armory. A main idea talked about was green is bigger than buildings.
