DESCRIPTION:
EVENT DESCRIPTION: This presentation is key to understanding what is sustainable, and what is not.

Sustainability deals with every single aspect of human activity, no matter how trivial or complex: what we eat, what we dress,

what we drive. Sustainability has vast implications that - willing or not - reverberate deeply into the fabric of present and future societies. Lack of a solid understanding of the basics and foundations of sustainability often generates a great deal of confusion and misgivings among architects, engineers, designers, economists, politicians and the general public.

The facts about sustainability will be presented. The current status of our nation and the world will be put into perspective with graphic and charts showing current consumption and extraction rates everywhere. The science, measuring tools, and the most up-to-date and state-of-the-art research will be shown.

An 'Integral Design Approach' combining and incorporating fundamental sustainable techniques such as solar energy, solar domestic hot water, composting toilets, greywater system, organic food production, passive solar, natural lighting, ventilation, heating and cooling, natural non-toxic materials, adobe, strawbale, rainwater catchment, wind energy will be discussed step by step with detailed drawings and design parameters.

The economic concepts of sustainability, what is money, markets, profit and economy, and what they represent when viewed in the light of a sustainable society will be discussed. This workshop presents a vision, a call and a plan for a sustainable world
