Résumé:
Is there a greener gender ? Studies show that women are more likely than men to support environmental causes through voting, activism, and consumer choices. What are the implications for the disign industry ? Does sustainable design have special appeal for women, and do they in turn offer something unique to the field ? In Women in Green : Voices of Sustainable Design, Kira Gould and Lance Hosey explore these questions through informal conversations with architects, designers, consultants, policymakers, educators, and students. What they find is that women may be changing how we all see our world and our work.

Résumé:
Does going green change the face of design or only its content? The Shape of Green argues that beauty is inherent to sustainability, for how things look and feel is as important as how they’re made.

Résumé:
Does going green change the face of design or only its content? The Shape of Green argues that beauty is inherent to sustainability, for how things look and feel is as important as how they’re made. In addition to examining what makes something attractive or emotionally pleasing, Hosey connects these questions with practical design challenges. Can the shape of a car make it more aerodynamic and more attractive at the same time? Could buildings be constructed of porous materials that simultaneously clean the air and soothe the skin? Can cities become verdant, productive landscapes instead of wastelands of concrete? Drawing from a wealth of scientific research, Hosey demonstrates that form and image can enhance conservation, comfort, and community at every scale of design, from products to buildings to cities. Fully embracing the principles of ecology could revolutionize every aspect of design, in substance and in style. Aesthetic attraction isn’t a superficial concern — it’s an environmental imperative. Beauty could save the planet.
