This new series on PBS will be talking about sustainability and design and the whole nine yard. I am starting to lose interest in the whole sustainable design thing, and it is unsettling even for me. It is by any means a great thing that people talk about how sustainable practice to save the environment... But it is hard and no fun to design something just for that reason. It is like, William McDonough is great, but when you look at the buildings his did, they are simply quite uninteresting. The bottom line is, the sustainable practice should be like the building code, it is for the safety, health and welfare of the public (and the world), after that, it is still a long road to be a great design.
