Architecture for people and the Earth. Opening session
If sustainable architecture is a measure of the progress of civilisation and ecology has become a new cult of developed societies, where does this put us on the eve of the second decade of the 21st century? If architecture indeed impacts energy consumption, the scale of environmental pollution, in particular greenhouse gas emissions, what needs to be sacrificed to make a breakthrough? A fully ecological city, a friendly neighbourhood, zero energy buildings – will those ideas become popular on a global scale? The faces of architectural sustainability – what solutions will inspire us to use sustainable solutions in commercial and public buildings and create conditions for a better life and work?
