Speaker: Michael Garrison Professor Garrison is the author of a number of publications including Passive Solar Homes for Texas (1982) and Building Envelopes, with Randall Stout (NCARB 2004). He is past chair of the Resource Management Commission for the City of Austin, a founding member of the Texas Solar Energy Society, and research fellow of the UT Center for Sustainable Development. Great design is a marriage of art and science, but so far green design has focused on science and neglected art. When photovoltaics, wind turbines, and fuel cells overshadow basic decisions about shape and form, green tech becomes a green crutch. Do ethics support or supersede aesthetics? Does going green change the face of design or only its content? This book demonstrates how to be as smart about the way things look as how they are made. Form, image, and experience can enhance conservation, comfort, and community at every scale of design, from products to buildings to cities. Fully embracing the principles of ecology could spark a revolution not just in industry but also in culture, and every aspect of design could change with it.
