Sustainable Design Solutions from the Pacific Northwest

Architects of the Pacific Northwest have been celebrated for a long-standing respect for the environment and a holistic view of our place in it. This series spotlights innovative design achievements by contemporary Northwest architects, and supporting consultants, whose work reinforces core principles and ethics of sustainable design. Reflecting cross-disciplinary inspirations ranging from environmental sciences to sociology and systems biology, the pioneering buildings and technologies profiled in this series share common aesthetic and social goals. Promoting maximum energy efficiency through the extensive use of recycled materials and minimal dependence on mechanical systems for heat, ventilation, and waste management, these works demonstrate a profound and enduring love of the natural world and its ecological systems.
