Mark Wigley Jill Fehrenbacher interview, Mark Wigley Dean of Columbia Graduate School of Architecture Planning and Preservation, Columbia GSAPP, INTERVIEW: Mark Wigley On Greening of Architecture Schools<strong>Buildings account for almost half (48%) of all greenhouse-gas emissions annually. </strong>This oft-repeated statistic highlights what many architects and designers have long realized: the building industry has a profound impact on the state of our environment. But is environmental awareness really making enough inroads into the curriculum of design schools, in the places where it could potentially have the most impact on the future of the industry? While environmental design isn’t nearly as entrenched as it should be into the core curriculums of design schools, students seem to be clamoring to learn more about this topic and are demanding new classes and are shaping their own academic paths. To discuss the future of greening architecture schools, we sat down with Mark Wigley, dean of Columbia’s GSAPP, to talk about the changes currently taking place. Read on to hear what Mark Wigley has to say about sustainable design.1
