Quotes about Sustainable Design
For a solution to be truly sustainable and good it
must have a positive return to the environment
and society. At the heart of any design problem is
a question: Are we trying to make something less
bad or are we trying to make things better?... It's
not just about solving for the negative; It's about
creating a positive."

Based on our fieldwork, we have found that
almost all the features of traditional cliff cave
dwelling coincide with modern sustainable
design principles. These cave dwellings reflect
a core concept of Chinese culture?being in
harmony with nature. They are the result of a
people's adaptation to their environment with
limited natural and technological resources.
The people and their culture survived here for
hundreds of years without leaving heavy
marks on the environment.

"It is estimated that over 80% of all
product-related environmental impacts are
determined during the product design
phase. Integrating environmental
considerations as early as possible into the
product development process is therefore
the most effective way of introducing
changes and improvements to products."
