Recently at Domus Academy we attended Enzio Manzini's lecture where he put across many great sustainable design ideas. He talked about global threat to natural resources and challenged as to tackle such issues through our design solutions.
The Lecture was part of our first workshop titled Energy-City.

what is sustaibability?
ustainability is a systemic concept, relating to the continuity of economic, social, institutional and environmental aspects of human society. It is intended to be a means of configuring civilization and human activity so that society, its members and its economies are able to meet their needs and express their greatest potential in the present, while preserving biodiversity and natural ecosystems, and planning and acting for the ability to maintain these ideals indefinitely. Sustainability affects every level of organization, from the local neighborhood to the entire planet.
