I have a tendency to rant on this topic (and many others) but this topic especially, but i just don't care what people think anymore. The earth needs me and human culture is too beautiful to me to let it slide for want of looking and sounding like a ranter. So good to here that a man of your ilk is in the halls of acadamie at last. I know the Vietnam war silneced for a long time the idea that there was virtue in enviromental design. I don't fully understand why but i think it has to do with some wierd attempt to be so apolitical that anything on the left was seen, including all and any aspoect of ESdesign, as some sort of capitulation by anyone on the right. Like salt in that ghastly wound of the war that not only consumed so many fine young men and a generation of hope but even the very idea of virtuous, sensitive, earth empathetic design. What a pity that you mention professors who feel able, (is it liberated perhaps?) to revisit ecological awareness in the built enviroment at last. I fully empathise now that I am over forty and ranting as much as I please. Their energy wasted in a three decade hiatus of passion. Dera stifled professors, your time has arrived. Now I understand why so many structures from those thirty years look egotistical. For what else is left when you cannot referance your soul for want of being polite to those who are grieving and you cannot referance the world around you for want of looking like a hippy for caring enough about the earth to design with it in mind. Dear Jill, could you please post this article to 'butterpaper forum'. I am still not totally familiar with computers or i'd do it myself. ooh yeah, Mark Wigley.
