Offering a rare opportunity to view a regional collection of design work from professionals who champion sustainability, this collection showcases the products--both in progress and already built--and creative services of entities in Tennessee that offer realistic, expert advice and resources to positively influence the world. The book explores the large eco-conscious initiatives at Vanderbilt University as well as sustainable design techniques in areas that include industrial design, materials, housing design, urban planning, and landscaping. Eloquently revealing the green processes that these firms employ, and in some cases pioneered, this showcase will inspire the creation of environmentally responsible and accessible elements in design.
