Sustainable and Contemporary Practice

Building-scale design practices that define current and recent architectural priorities: adaptive reuse, biophilic design, net zero energy building, passive house and passive solar design, and sustainable architecture as a named practice area. Belongs here: any named contemporary practice focused on a building's environmental performance, resource use or reuse. Does not belong here: urban-scale movements such as new urbanism, grouped under urban planning and design movements, even where their motivations overlap.
