An "Ugly" building is not a sustainable building....

For those that attended James Wines' lecture last night it certainly was an entertaining experience. James talked about how the aesthetics of a building are just as important to sustainability as the technology incorporated within. He mentioned how people will tear down the building as soon as they can if it is not aesthetically pleasing which is one of the least sustainable thing that could happen to your building. I thought that statement was quite interesting.

  1. In most commercial ventures, buildings are as disposable as shovels and built accordingly. Life Cycle costing could help change that.
