The ethics of green practice

Article Abstract:

Environmental studies on building designs has become more popular in the 1990's and architects have since been inundated with technical data and examples of projects using new practices. Architects often do not have the same attitude as many consumers, who wish to reduce man's impact on the environment and use buildings which have been designed with energy efficiency in mind. If architects were to change their ethical approach to work Britain would see a rapid increase in environmental debate.
