Advocating for Sustainability: Are Young Architects the Solution?
In last week's AIArchitect, not only did we see a new fancy format, but there was also a new column on Emerging Professionals. Did you notice it? This month, the YAF contributed an article about sustainability and the influence that today's generation can have on our environment through green design. Mark Giessen, a project manager with Cubellis Ecoplan, Englewood Cliffs, N.J., says:
"I firmly believe that one day all design will be environmentally conscious design. The generations before us laid the foundations of sustainable design, and it is the responsibility of the young professionals to take charge and guarantee that our profession remains in the forefront of the environmental movement. When we look back, sustainable design may be what defines this generation of architects. I look forward to being a part of it."
