“There are three broad overarching dimensions of value that drive the Audubon project: resource sustainability, environmental consequence, and the humanistic response. From these we derive the subsets related to recycling, energy efficiency, indoor air quality, pollution reduction, etc.”
“No matter what the unique local characteristics of a project are… keeping these overarching concerns in mind will help the architect in any setting begin to organize priorities and come to the appropriate solutions for that site.”
Randy Croxton, AIA
“Industrial Revolution”
This revolution is founded on nature’s surprisingly effective design principles, on human creativity and prosperity, and on respect, fair play, and goodwill.”
– William McDonough & Michael Braungart
