Featured Handook Author
Graham A. YoungSenior Lecturer, Dept. of Architecture, University of Pretoria
Principal, Newton Landscape Architects:
"If we are to create a sustainable world - one in which we are accountable to the needs of all future generations and all living creatures - we must recognise that our present forms of agriculture, architecture, engineering and technology are deeply flawed. To create a sustainable world, we must transform these practices. We must infuse the design process, buildings and landscapes with a rich and detailed understanding of ecology. "
