Why is it important for designers to think about sustainability and follow through with it after the a€oegreena€A trend has passed?

With adding formal language to ecology I hope to raise awareness a€" but also allow the design discipline to expand its vocabulary with a reason-based output. We can almost repeat Mies van der Rohe’s message of a€oeForm follows functiona€A but the term function has vastly expanded including providing a€oesustainable performancea€A and a a€oegreen marketing messagea€A. In the future I wish that sustainability a€" or even better, regenerative ideas - are part of any architectural project globally
and new progressive spatial configurations, programmatic fusions and formalistic expressions evolve.
